Subject: RE: BS: Islamic Protest in Wootton Bassett
I don't think for one moment that Choudrey's procession will go ahead. The man is a cheap publicity seeker who seeks to poison relations between muslims and others.
And the BNP and other far right groups need people like him to get angry about.
What is interesting for me is that when he announced his march the BBC leapt in to give him 10 minutes of prime time radio on its main breakfast programme.
At any other time when the anti war movement announces a demonstration the march usually receives zilch pre coverage and only very, very limited coverage after the event.
Choudrey probably has a dozen supporters yet his publicity from all the media is extensive...it is as if the media can't wait to show the public that muslims are indeed the terrorist threat within.
