Strict Sharia in the UK: First Our Ban, Now Planned Arrests

First, sign this petition if you oppose the British ban on our message of freedom. The British government banned Robert Spencer and me from the UK where we were scheduled to lay a wreath at a memorial for young soldier Lee Rigby.

Now the harsh sharia enforcement authorities have threatened to arrest Tommy Robinson and Kev Carroll if they walk down a street past a mosque. Tommy Robinson and Kev Carroll have a charity walk planned to Woolwich (site of the Rigby jihadi beheading). They have been warned in no uncertain terms they will be arrested if they walk. The dhimmi police force said that two men walking past a mosque would “result in serious public disorder
and serious disruption to the life of the community” and “a breach of the
conditions would be a criminal offence.”

Reacting to new sharia conditions, Tommy Robinson said: “The police are
enforcing no-go zones for non-Muslims. It’s a charity walk with two
people taking part.

“When has a Muslim charity walk ever been made to have conditions?”

Just our existence is not “conducive to the public order” of supremacists. What’s next? The tighter they pull the noose, the worse the outcome.

EDL Threatened With Arrest Over Woolwich Gathering Plans Huffington Post, UK, June 27, 2013

Far-right English Defence League (EDL) supporters have been
threatened with arrest if they gather at the site where soldier Drummer Lee Rigby was murdered this weekend.

The group, led by Tommy Robinson,
previously announced plans to walk across east London via the East
London Mosque and ultimately assemble outside Woolwich Barracks, where
Drummer Rigby was hacked to death in broad daylight last month.

But the Metropolitan Police has now applied conditions on the
proposed march, imposing a route between Hyde Park Corner and ending at
Old Palace Yard, opposite the House of Lords, and has ordered that the
planned gathering can only take place at Old Palace Yard for a maximum
of two hours.

Members of the EDL were planning to gather at the site where Lee Rigby was murdered

The police force said the conditions were imposed due to fears that
both the march and gathering would “result in serious public disorder
and serious disruption to the life of the community” and a breach of the
conditions would be a criminal offence.

Earlier this week, two American political activists who founded an
anti-Muslim group were banned by the Home Secretary from entering the UK
following reports they were to attend this weekend’s march.

Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer,
who set up Stop Islamization of America and run the website Jihad
Watch, have been forbidden from entering the country on the grounds
their presence would ”not be conducive to the public good”.

The letter to Geller and Spencer, marked ‘Private and Confidential’,
warns them against travelling to the UK and was posted on their blogs.
It read:

“The Home Secretary has reached this decision because you have
brought yourself within the scope of the list of unacceptable behaviours
by making statements that may foster hatred which might lead to
inter-community violence in the UK.”

The Met said it had attempted to liaise with the EDL to facilitate
the march and gathering and offered them two alternative routes that
avoided the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, home to the East London
Mosque.

A statement from the police force said: “To date the organisers have declined to agree to either of these alternative routes.”

Scotland Yard decided to issue two notices under the Public Order Act
based on “current community tensions, the current intelligence picture
about Saturday and recent marches and protests held by similar groups”.

Earlier this month, the police banned the British National Party
(BNP) from marching from Woolwich Barracks and ordered it to move its
protest to Westminster.

The event saw rival protesters clash outside the Houses of
Parliament, as BNP supporters and anti-fascist campaigners came to
blows.

As well as laying flowers in memory of Drummer Rigby in Woolwich, Mr
Robinson and his co-leader Kevin Carroll had planned to walk to raise
money for a young girl fighting against neuroblastoma.

The EDL’s Tommy Robinson and Kevin Carroll had announced a
fundraising walk for toddler Amelia-Mae Davies, whose family are hoping
to get treatment for her in the US for the rare cancer. However a
cancer charity pulled the fundraising page for a two-year-old girl
suffering from neuroblastoma.

A spokeswoman for the Neuroblastoma Children’s Cancer Alliance told HuffPost UK that the charity would reimburse the money raised by the EDL and said the charity is “politically neutral and, as such, is not associated with the EDL and its fundraising activities.”

Reacting to the Met’s decision, Mr Robinson said: “The police are
enforcing no-go zones for non-Muslims. It’s a charity walk with two
people taking part.
