veiled4allah: not silent veiled4allah: not silentMuslims are to take to the streets of some of Britain's major cities to protest against the terror attacks on London, it emerged yesterday. The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) is hopeful that hundreds of thousands will take part in a series of marches to make clear their opposition to the terrorists.Update: I'm not sure if this is still in the works, but in the meantime, in Egypt:
Sheik Ibrahim Mogra of the MCB said it was important that ordinary Britons realised that the terrorists were not representative of Muslims as a whole. He said: "The idea is to show we are united in condemning this murderous act.
"It would send a very strong message to the terrorists and to the British public that we are against violence and want to live in peace. The terrorists will not drive a wedge between us."
It is understood that members of Britain's 1.5 million-strong Muslim community would march in cities including London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leicester, Bradford and Leeds, while the demonstration may also include prayer meetings and vigils.
More than 1,000 Egyptian hotel workers, Bedouin sheikhs and foreign dive-school instructors marched through Sharm el-Sheikh yesterday to condemn the bombings. "There is no God but God, and terrorism is the enemy of God," chanted the Egyptian protesters, who included hotel chefs, technicians and road sweepers, as they marched along the main road of Sharm el-Sheikh, hit on Saturday by three bombs.
