Looks like you guys got your wish.. The media has caught up. I wonder what they'll use the soapbox for this time.

I think it's great that you were so kind as to spare a chastising word for the forum posters here and not one for the protestors.

That's great!

BREAKING THE SILENCE PART II
REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY
Alhamdulillah (all praise be to Allah), the highly publicised events of November 11th 2010, where a handful of sincere Muslims, proceeded to break the silence of a historic 92 year old annual event, has truly exposed the ugly face of democracy and man-made law for what it really is.

Public awareness of the crimes of the tyrannical British government has been achieved and will hopefully remind everyone (in Britain) of the gravity of the situation in Iraq and Afghanistan, that motivated ordinary young Muslims in the UK to condemn the actions of British soldiers in such a harsh manner.

Unfortunately, the aims of Muslims Against Crusades does not end with public awareness, indeed we have pledged that we will never stop condemning the actions of Britain's imperialist regime, until all British soldiers are withdrawn from Muslim countries.

In light of this, a special and unique online campaign has been organised to coincide with Remembrance Sunday 2010. At precisely 11am (GMT), muslimsagainstcrusades.com will fill the (second) annual two minutes silence, with an unrelenting condemnation of the British Armed Forces. Simply log on to http://www.muslimsagainstcrusades.com at 11am (GMT) and hear what we have to say about your government and in particular, your army.We furthermore encourage all Muslims around the world, to not remain silent in this distasteful ceremony, but to rather remember the atrocities committed by the British military, which have caused so much suffering around the world and which can only be described as evil and very uncivilised.

BURNING HATRED EXPOSED
The recent demonstration on Remembrance Day 2010, by a handful
of Muslims, has undoubtedly sent shockwaves across the whole of
Britain; what was essentially within the ambit of British law has
now exposed a burning hatred (of Islam and Muslims) that has
until now remained hidden and out of sight.

However distasteful, some may have found the demonstration,
what is occurring now in terms of online hate campaigns and
biased media propaganda are not only totally disproportionate to the events of the day, but poignantly highlight the indifference the British public holds towards the actions of their government in foreign territories.

Racism, blasphemy, and incitement to murder have now become wholly justified in light of the recent events; ordinary, British citizens, are now publicly coming out in their droves to not only show their contempt towards a handful of individuals but rather are more than happy to spew ridicule and slander towards the Muslim community and the religion of Islam in general.

Indeed, anger and resentment are not an excuse for many of the statements being issued, however it appears that Muslims are exempt from this rule and that wholesale slander can be justified on certain occasions, under British law.

How ironic it is, that public rage against the burning of a few poppies is seen as completely understandable, yet the legitimate condemnation of the occupation of Muslim land and the murder of thousands of innocent men, women and children is deemed as inappropriate and over the top.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE SILENCE IS BROKEN.
On 11th November 2010, Muslims participated in a much needed demonstration to speak out against the crimes committed by
British soldiers in Muslim lands. In the last decade alone, it is
estimated that over 900,000 innocent (Muslim) men, women and
children have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan; incidents of rape,
ridicule and torture have undoubtedly exposed the malice and
of the British military towards Muslims, as the horrendous case of
Baha Mousa

So what could be said of an army that continues to occupy foreign territories and usurp their resources? What could be said of an army that engages in carpet bombing and the use of the most destructive of weapons? And what could be said of an army that continue to torture and degrade prisoners with the most humiliating of practises?

In light of this, Muslims Against Crusades, ensured that on, November 2010, on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11 month, these crimes were exposed and their perpetrators condemned. Alhamdulillah (all praise be to Allah), for the first time in the history of this annual event, the silence of millions of people in Britain, was publicly broken by a handful of sincere Muslims seeking to undermine the British military for their appalling actions.

Unfortunately, as is the case with the dictatorial British regime, who are unable to live up to their supposed values of freedom and democracy, two Muslim participants were harshly arrested, by the oppressive British police.

We ask Allah (SWT) to accept the actions of all the Muslims that attended and we moreover pledge that we will never stop condemning the British regime nor their allies until all British soldiers are withdrawn from foreign (Muslim) countries and until the justice of Islam is implemented all over the world.

PURPOSE BEHIND EVENT
On 11th November 2010, commonwealth countries will join together in a moment of silence to commemorate the sacrifices of their civilians and armed forces during times of war. For over a century these events have gone uninterrupted, as millions of people continue to reflect on the casualties of modern warfare.

Unfortunately, the bitter reality of Remembrance Day is that the majority of people (who participate in it) are blissfully unaware of the hidden truths behind this very distasteful event. Put simply, Remembrance Day is a symbol of imperialism and everything that is wrong with democracy and man-made law.

As Muslims, we can poignantly remember the victims of (British) military intervention, the bullets fired and the bombs dropped, the lands occupied and the resources stolen and in light of this find it very difficult to remember the perpetrators of such crimes without much anger and hostility.

The British military are currently at the forefront of some of the harshest campaigns against Islam and Muslims, and furthermore have played a crucial role in cementing economic and strategic interests that rob large Muslim populations of vital resources.

In light of this, Muslims against Crusades have organised an emergency demonstration, to highlight these injustices and to furthermore ensure that on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, this message is heard loudly and clearly.

If a bunch of people showed up with Mohammed caricatures on T-shirts and just waved at them, rather than stomping on them, would that be better??
