On Saturday 31 October, Islam4UK plans to hold a procession called “March for Sharia” starting at 1pm. They intend to march past the Houses of Parliament where their members will call for the imposition of Shariah law and for the House of Commons to be abolished.
This website was set up by a collection of groups and individuals – both Muslim and non-Muslim – to organise a counter-demonstration against those who seek to undermine and challenge our values. We come from diverse social and religious backgrounds but share a common belief in secular democracy and the values of the British liberal state such as legal and constitutional equality for all, equal rights for women and minorities, and the right to religious freedom (including freedom from religion).
British Muslims for Secular Democracy (BMSD), is organising and coordinating a broad based counter-demonstration of those of all faiths and none who are determined to stand together, in defence of liberal secular democracy.
In the meantime, to stay abreast of developments please sign up to our mailing listfor the very latest information. You can also follow us on Twitter or join our Facebook group
NOTE:
If you are planning to attend this demonstration, it is crucial that you do sign up to the list so we can keep you up to date with all the latest news about this campaign and any organisational details. We will not share your details with any third party or make them public.

The Secular Democracy website is being blocked by the censors in Sudan.
I have to use a proxy server to get around the thought-police’s block.
Gosh I had no idea that the Sudanese censors ban internet sites with the word “secular” and “democracy”. Ignorant jobsworths.
Amazing, isn’t it?
Indeed, the censors are so witless that they make paediatricians’ and gynaecologists’ lives an absolute misery, banning any and all websites that mention front-bottoms and the like – even when they use the correct medical terminology for the same. Accessing the appropriate medical materials is next to impossible, save via the sort of proxy servers others use here to download porn.
What is a bit strange about the “Secular Democracy” block is that normally when a site is blocked here a webpage in Arabic and English announces the same. With the SD block, the page simply refuses to load. Fire up a proxy, and in a flash, one is served the page. Most odd.
