Britain Bans Islamist Group

An Islamist group called Islam4UK, or Muhajiroun, will soon be outlawed by the British government. The ban will come into effect on Thursday, January 14. In order to prevent the group from circumventing the ban, it will also be outlawed under the other names that it goes by. These names include Call to Submission, Islam4UK, Islamic Path, and London School of Sharia.

"I have ... laid an order which will proscribe Al Muhajiroun, Islam4UK, and a number of the other names the organisation goes by," Home Secretary Alan Johnson said.

"Proscription is a tough but necessary power to tackle terrorism and is not a course we take lightly. We are clear that an organisation should not be able to circumvent proscription by simply changing its name," he continued.

"What the people will see is if you don't agree with the government and you want to expose their foreign policy, then freedom quickly dissipates and turns into dictatorship," said Anjem Choudary, the disgruntled leader of the banned organization.

Islam4UK sparked outrage and debate earlier this year by trying to march through a town where dead British soldiers are honored.

This ban is not only undemocratic, but it is hypocritical. There is a variety of neo-Nazi groups in Britain that are just as violent and disgusting as any Islamist group. Why didn't the British government ban those fools as well? Is it because they think they can get away with bullying a minority religion? Maybe they find Nazi thugs to be more useful. I think this exposes the prejudiced, pro-fascist views that the pig Queen and her lackeys secretly cling to.
