London, UK, August 19 - Thousands of people, Muslim and non-Muslim, young and old, shia and sunni, sufi and non-sufi, men and women, from across the UK have marched through London to the US Embassy to condemn US and British foreign policy and call for an end to the interference of Western governments in the Muslim world. Demonstrators made it clear that despite the proclamations of Bush and Blair, speaking out against foreign policy and working for the return of the Caliphate in the Muslim world is not 'extremism' or 'terrorism'. The demonstration was organised by the Islamic political party Hizb ut-Tahrir Britain.
Demonstrators had earlier assembled at Edgware Road Underground Station before marching to the US Embassy in Grosvenor Square via Edgware Road, where representatives and leaders of Muslim groups and community organisations delivered speeches. On Edgware Road (the heart of London's Arab community), many Arab tourists joined the demonstration. |
