Muslim Anti-isis March Not Covered By Mainstream Media Outlets, Say Organisers by hafees: 4:12pm On Dec 15, 2015 |
Organisers of an anti-Isis march in London have spoken of their frustration after mainstream media outlets failed to cover the demonstration. Thousands of people took part in the annual UK Arbaeen Procession, coordinated by the Husaini Islamic Trust UK, on Sunday. Although Shia Muslims take part in the march each year to mark the Arbaeen, or mourning, anniversary of Imam Husain - a seventh-century leader who fought for social justice - this year organisers decided to use the event as a platform to denounce terrorism following the recent Isis attacks in Paris, Beirut and elsewhere. Organiser Waqar Haider said: "This year we had hundreds of placards which were basically saying ‘no’ to terrorism and ‘no’ to Isis. A very direct message. "For us it was a controversial move to go political. Normally we don’t mix politics with mourning. However with what's happened recently, we thought we had to make sure we as a community totally disassociate ourselves with what's happening elsewhere in the world."

"It is the oldest annual Muslim event in London but unfortunately it is very difficult to get any media coverage," he said. "I think it's because of stereotyping. People see the entire Muslim community as one community. Anti-Isis demonstrations across Europe 10 show all "[But] the Muslim community is a very diverse community, with the vast majority of us horrified by Isis. "With our event, we had so many people from different ethnic backgrounds. It's more of a family event in terms of people it attracts." Volunteer Mohammed Al-Sharifi also commented on the lack of media coverage for the event. In a tweet, he said: “Hundreds of Muslims flooded the streets of London yesterday to condemn terrorism. Media’s response: Silence.” His post has been re-tweeted more than 5,000 times. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/muslim-anti-isis-march-not-covered-by-mainstream-media-outlets-say-organisers-a6765976.html

hafees: The media is a mouthpiece for jihadists. The hug a Muslim character is facing charges of bomb threats

hafees: From what I see of the placards, they are basically trying to absolve islam of the blame of terrorism and not condemning it per se. This is a classical case of islamic al taquiya. |

Annunaki: You get it. All non Muslims should know what taqqiya is. Taqqiya allows a Muslim to do anything under the sun including lying to the infidels as long as it advances the cause of Islam I have posted before that taqqiya allowed a Muslim to be sodomised so that his nethers could be expanded to accommodate a bomb. The jihadist really killed an Afghan commander after exploding the bomb in his arseholee. Here it is in quotes
