I see that one of the more unpleasant groups of extremists will be on the march in London tommorrow. No, it isn't Nick Griffin's mob, its a lunatic called Anjem Choudary. I mentioned him and his ilk before in a post about Walthamstow and also in one here about the Hilton Hotel hosting his press conference - which ended up with a good old blogger's spat between me and a fellow blogger, tel1342. (Apparently I wasn't making my abhorance of fundamentalist islamic idiots clear enough for his taste).

Anyway, for those who want to go along and heckle them, Islam For The UK will be trudging along our city's streets tomorrow in the Westminster/Parliament area, taking in Whitehall, Downing Street and Trafalgar Square. They are demanding the full implementation of sharia law in Britain. These of course are the traditional spots for people seeking to extend or uphold the freedoms of this country on demos, so it will be interesting to see how this bunch of authoritarian idiots shape up as marchers. Presumably they have got the police's permission for all this nonsense.
This would not be so odd as you might think. Sometimes the group's demands are so bizarre you have to suspect them of being on the CIA's payroll as agents provocateurs. The group has allegedly earmarked Buckingham Palace to be turned into a mosque, Come The Glorious Day. That ridiculousness does not mean though that the group should not be taken seriously. They are said to have attracted some rather nasty friends and supporters, none of whom are representative of the muslims I know.

Actually I'd think the best thing you can do is laugh at 'em. You get some poor odds and sods who are looking for a bit of macho glamour and meaning in their lives - who 30 years ago would probably have pissed off their parents by joining the Trots - and instead of seeing a fearsome band of Islamic warriors they see a group that everyone else takes the piss out of.
Still, I have my own plans for Buck house...
