THE EXTREME RIGHT have threatened violence against Muslims on Downing Street's website in a protest over a proposed Mosque.
The British National Party and other neo-Nazi groups are supporting a petition on No.10's website which warns, ominously, of "terrible violence and suffering" should the so-called mega mosque go ahead.
This is certain to be taken as a warning that physical violence could be unleashed against Muslims unless the dissenters get their way and defeat plans to build a mosque on the Olympic site in Stratford, east London. Yesterday the Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, attacked another online poll being run at the same time, on the London Evening Standard's "thisislondon" website, which is also being pushed on the BNP's website. organised Livingstone said the poll was "aimed at stirring up communal hatred by spreading entirely false statements about plans for a new mosque in East London."
The mayor accuses opponents of spreading false propaganda by claiming £100m of public money would be pumped into the mosque, when there are no plans to spend any public money on the project. Livingstone said the false claims were "clearly designed to deliberately whip up communal hatred and contain content that is entirely untrue.They are clearly being spread in an organised way for unscrupulous political reasons". He added: "There is no proposal to use any public money at all for such a mosque; there is no link between plans for a mosque and the Olympics; and, as widely reported, there are actually no plans for a mosque on the scale claimed in the email." However the Downing Street petition, with its implicit threat of far-right attacks on Muslims, is potentially even more serious. Over 30,000 people had signed the petition this morning. Blink is encouraging readers to complain to No.10 over the reference to "terrible violence and suffering" if the mosque is built. Please email webmaster@pmo.gov.uk and ask for these words to be removed or failing that, the whole petition taken off line. Source: blink.org.uk    Readers have left 3 comments.

JUST DON'T VOTE LABOUR - BUT DON'T VOTE FOR THE EVIL DEAD CONSERVATIVES EITHER!
Mr Blair and his henchmen have been romancing with the Right Wing vote and making anti-Muslim remarks for longer than I can remember. So it is no surprise that such a petition is allowed to persist. Perhaps those who like emaling complaints should do so to No10. I for one will just not vote for them ever again. It is a great pity that many Muslims will just not vote for Labour anymore. It is however just what the Labour Party deserve for letting their principles be hijacked by Mr Blair. I can't imagine there are too many fair minded people who will vote for those others - the Evil Dead, Conservatives either (even with their revived party image with Dave the Rave Cameron and the Terminator leach). The only strategic move can be to vote for the Lib Dems in England & Wales and for the SNP in Scotland.

Politics at one time was about principle now it is about a nice cushy career with success depending on ones ability to use scapegoats to deflect the failings of oneself.Blair has not hijacked labour but rather they are in it together. Follow me leader to the ends of the earth to get re-elected and carry on the cushy lifestyle.Only the late Robin Cooke and later Clare Short had doubts.

Unacceptable response from No. 10: -
My e-mail: - Dear Sirs, I urge you to remove the petition on the No.10 Downing Street web site as this petition is:- 1) Causing racial hatred, 2) Is incorrect and misleading; and 3) is threatening violence and hatred against the Muslim community. Please find the respective link attached. Many thanks http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/ScrapMegaMosque/ No. 10s Response: - Dear sir or madam Many thanks for your email. We understand your concern about this petition and have since tightened our acceptance policy. But having accepted the petition under the terms and conditions of the time, we cannot now reject it under rules introduced later. However, the issues raised in the petition will be dealt with in the response sent to all who sign when the petition closes. Regards Downing Street Webteam
