Now the General Election is over, strategic planning can start for the next 5 to 10 years. Without going into too much detail, MPACUK are coming off a high. We helped to mobilise the Muslims of Rochdale to kick out Zionist MP Lorna Fitzsimons and have massively contributed to the politicisation of Muslims in Ilford, Blackburn, and Hendon directly and indirectly via our website, emails and press coverage across the UK.

The message is simple; “Hold your leaders to account, by getting involved in the political system.” MPACUK are educating Muslims to understand how the election process works and when a politician doesn’t represent our views or follows policies counter to our interests, we at the very least vote against them. In other words to vote along policy and not party lines. The other part is to hold self styled community leaders to account for not using their influence to benefit the community they pretend to serve and represent.

In most other communities these two roles would neither be radical or controversial but amongst jealous Muslims and Zionists they are tags that will be used to malign, sideline and tarnish MPACUK. Both politicians and lickspittle journalists will be intimidated and thus avoid us because mud sticks. The long shot is we don’t care. Zionists have been orchestrating a low level background noise against Muslims for years. From journalists such as Melanie Philips, newspapers including The Telegraph and The Mail, or politicians such as Andrew Dismore, Lorna Fitzsimons and Dennis McShane to name but a few. Those Muslims and organisations who either haven’t opposed this vilification of Islam and Muslims, due to incompetence, self interest, or ignorance have contributed to the climate of hate.

So the fight against Zionism and Islamophobia is being lead by young men and women in their early to mid twenties, who spend out of their own pockets and work in their spare time. It seems ironic that Britain’s biggest website, the Western world’s first Muslim lobby which has managed to remove a pro war, pro Israeli MP is filled with young girls and boys who have taken the mantle of political Jihad for Palestine as their responsibility. The Muslim community neither fund nor support the stretched and overworked team.

MPACUK will not vanish up “our own egos” due to a few small successes, nor will we be intimidated by the inevitable Zionist hammer that will attempt to smash us. We will stand firm and continue what we have been doing and focus our energy on building future successes. MPACUK does not live nor ponder on successes of the past.

MPACUK however have begun to influence a new wave of thinking amongst the Ummah, that no longer reveres public figures, nor holds any fear of Zionists or their lackeys.

MPACUK will focus on making the Muslim vote count, by turning it into a floating vote, and those parties that want it the most, and want to win marginal seats must know that there is a potential large voter bank ready to vote for the right person, the right policy and the right party. MPACUK will ensure that Labour no longer gets the unquestioning support it has relied on by a docile community. We will ensure the next betrayal by any party that uses our vote will be costly. Whether that party be Liberal Democrats, RESPECT, Conservative or the SNP.

Once this is achieved, those politicians and parties who want the vote will have to have policies that matter to Muslims. If Labour is to lose thousands of votes, and if the Tories and Liberal Democrats want to win, they will have to understand why Labour is losing traditional loyal voters. If the Lib Dems want the Muslim vote then they have to do better than oversleep when the anti Muslim terror legislation was being passed. And if the Tories want a handful of marginal seats in North London, which can help give them the next Government then they will have to reach out to Muslims by proposing the repeal of the draconian terror legislation, real pressure on Israel to withdraw from occupied land and political leadership in tackling Islamophobia.

The spineless argument Labour will trot out again, is that a vote for Liberal Democrats or RESPECT will either be wasted votes, or a protest vote will let the Tories in “through the back door.” Well MPACUK’s counter argument is, Muslims will not pick the worst out of a bad bunch. Their vote will be up for grabs and Muslims will judge on policy during this term in Parliament. If those votes will keep a politician in power or make a difference to who wins or not then central parties had better take Muslim concerns seriously. If any party wants those votes, their policies had better represent Muslims views because voting by “not” being Tory or “Labour” is just not good enough.
