This Mr.Choudry who is running the march, and runs ISLAM4UK, has said this march is to 'remember the innocent men, women and children who have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan'
In fairness, I agree - it's TERRIBLE that these innocent civilians die - but the United Nations have statistics which show that most Muslim civilians in Afghanistan have died from other Muslims, usually in suicide bombs, and the like. Mr.Choudry continues to blame our soldiers for their deaths and its simply not true - the majority of our soldiers go over there to protect people, and to save them. Most moderate Muslims in the country even like the soldiers.
So really, a march should go ahead. But NOT in Wooten Basset - it is TOTALLY wrong, and shows no compassion. As a religious man Mr.Choudry should remember that soldiers, civilians, whatever - they are LIVES. People dying is a horrible thing, and these soldiers have been ordered to go to Afghanistan by our government, it is not their fault. Mr.Choudry should change the location, because to be honest, the whole idea for the march was to 'remember the innocent civilian lives lost' WELL, I'm sorry, but the media, and not many of the public actually know that - we are just outraged you've chosen Wooten Basset. So really, his idea hasn't got through, or made us think about the civilians at all.
On Sky News they interviewed a Muslim lady from the 'Muslim Council of Britain' She said he was a 'mad man' - I think that speaks volumes. A Muslim calling Mr.Choudry a mad man, and that he is. I'm glad she spoke out, because at least we now know that not all Muslims think and behave like him.
