Subject: RE: BS: Islamic Protest in Wootton Bassett
Over to you, Carol

I disagree with your prime minister.

Mr. Choudary said that it's the duty of Muslims to "stand together to prevent oppression and injustice to our brothers and sisters (in Afghanistan)"

-and-

"This is a procession that will highlight what is going on there and the real costs of the war."

And then he continues to say in various ways, that the purpose of the march is to highlight the plight of the people in Afghanistan, including large numbers of women and children who are being killed and maimed by UK and US military forces.

Please explain to me how these sentiments are contrary or foreign to UK culture and UK sensibilities, and please explain to me how moving to another country would provide him with a better way to correct the problems he is trying to bring to the attention of the people of the UK.
