British Muslims for Secular Democracy today announces the launch of its plans to organise a demonstration on Saturday 31st October to counter a demonstration by Al Muhajiroun, at which they will call for the abolition of democracy in Britain and the imposition of Shariah Law on all.
That demonstration has been called by Islam 4 UK – a successor organisation to Al Muhajiroun.
British Muslims for Secular Democracy are organising the counter demonstration, bringing together a number of religious and non-religious groups.
Shaaz Mahboob, vice-chair of British Muslims for Secular Democracy says:
“Our counter-demonstration is based on our belief in, and commitment to, those liberal values that define the British state, including legal and constitutional equality for all, equal rights for women and minorities, and religious freedom, including the right to be free of faith”.
We have produced a video that explains why we’re demonstrating
Please join us via our website, at www.seculardemocracy.org, and via our Facebook page.
Invite your friends, send them the video, and help get the word out, and see you in Piccadilly Circus, 1 pm, Saturday 31 October.

Damn it!
It’s for events like this that I wish I could get on a flight and join you all.
Good luck.
I urge everyone who can to go on this demonstration against the Islamist merchants of hate and fear.
Sensational. Well done everyone!
This a great video. Fantasic work by the BMSD and friends. Let’s hope they get a good turn-out on the day.
Great work guys. Great video and great sentiments. I will be supporting the Britons (Muslim and non-Muslim) who will march against al-Muhajiroun on Saturday 31 October.
and I will be attending the event too, to oversee the bmsd getting pelted!

You don’t have the balls.
Khaled,
I do hope for your sake that no-one will construe your comment as an incitement to violence.
It’s a ghetto thing…
The video is a tad too cute, it seems to me. While the parody is exquisite, down to the same typeface — Impact? Not sure — for the placards, viewers may be too busy chuckling to get the wider message.
i don’t think chuckling is such a bad thing – in fact, reminding people that regular muslims actually have a sense of humour and people like al-macaroon don’t is likely to get people on-side, if you ask me.
perhaps i should post some alternatives in support?
