Why should you be there?
The messages conveyed by the April Demonstration were as follows:
-
This demonstration proved that the Muslim community enjoys talents, skills and resources in abundance, which may be utilized towards realizing its aims and objectives. Indeed, the Muslim community has demonstrated that once its establishments, groups and sections unite under one banner, it becomes a political element which cannot be ignored. It was also clear that Muslims possess a wealth of values and ethics with which they can attract a wide audience amongst the peace and justice-loving British public, who reject all forms of discrimination and injustice.
-
This event proved without a shadow of a doubt that sincere efforts and sound organization can, after the blessings and wishes of Allah, achieve radical change amongst the Muslim community, so that it becomes prominent within the British society at large and of greater influence and regard. Indeed, the BBC News24 reporter, Robert Piggot, commented that the Muslim community which amounts to nearly 2 million, is capable of playing a greater role in society than that of the 300,000 Jewish community. Our message came through loud and clear: “We shall not accept to be marginalized and ignored any longer”.
-
The demonstration proved that Muslims who carry a noble message and high morals and principles, are indeed more than capable of dealing and interacting with elements of life in a civilized manner, and that they are not in any sense outsiders or foreign to the British society. The head of the London Metropolitan Police charged with safeguarding the demonstration, expressed his admiration for all those involved; organizers, stewards and demonstrators, and commended the behaviour and discipline of all concerned, describing the outcome as ‘exemplary’. Indeed not one single breach of law or disturbance was recorded despite the massive numbers that took part.
