Everyone knows about Boris Johnson’s Islamophobic attitude. His remarks
in the aftermath of the criminal bombings in London in July 2007
provide an insight into the mind of a man that could potentially be
running one the world’s most important cities.
Three men have been jailed for three years for a campaign of racial harassment against a Muslim colleague. Amjid Mehmood was tied to railings and force-fed bacon while a rucksack
with protruding wires was put on his locker, Wolverhampton Crown Court
heard.
"Prophet Mohammed SAWS
told us to always consult the people when making a decision and I believe that message is compatible with campaigning and voting." A recent revert to Islam and Election Agent tells MPACUK why Muslims should get out and vote on 1st May.
Over one hundred thousand Muslim voters in London have been reached in the MPACUK campaign to back Livingstone and counter the HT message of non participation. Tens of thousands of leaflets have been handed out throughout London, highlighting Boris and Ken’s stands on Islam, and Israel. Boris being highly supportive of Israel, and thus unsurprisingly having made extreme anti Islamic comments.
I must commend and congratulate MPAC, firstly, for their relentless single minded campaign to encourage Muslims to vote and participate in the political process. Secondly, in recognising the fact that Ken Livingstone is the best choice for London and in particular the Muslim community, and highlighting the dangers of a win for the Tory Boris Johnson. However, I would like to take issue with the approach, and method of this campaign.
Boris Johnson on race: Refers to black people as ‘picaninnies’ and ‘with watermelon smiles’
Black MPs condemn Johnson:
Dawn Butler: “No one with such views can be the mayor of a city with the largest black population in Britain."
Dianne Abbot: "David Cameron is fooling himself if he thinks that Boris
Johnson's 1950s attitudes to race will be acceptable to Londoners, both
black and white."
1500 years ago, at a time when Islam was at the height of its strength, Mosques were humble buildings yet they offered so much. When the prophet arrived in Madinah the first thing he did was build a Mosque. This indicates the importance of a Mosque in Islam.
