In The Name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful STOP POLICE TERROR CAMPAIGN As-salamu'alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu. "Where is your God now!?" are the words which should ring through your heads now! "Where is your God now!?" These are the words used by the Police, last week, when they violently beat and detained a member of the Muslim community forcing him into prostration, and then shouting these words to him "Where is your God now!?" This hatred and attack is not against individuals, it is against Islam, it is against all of us. This event has become all too common, and is the latest of many cases in which the Police force has abused Muslims on the basis of the Terrorism Act 2001. Since 9/11, 529 Muslims have been arrested, only 77 were charged and just 2 were convicted (BBC News). The 452 had been harassed, abused, lost their jobs, traumatised and to date there have had no apology and no compensation. What was their CRIME? Working for Islam and being active in our community projects! The climate is changing in the UK, and it is not some other Muslim in the spotlight, it is now every single one of us! The situation and environment in Britain for the Muslim community has in recent months taken an uneasy turn for the worse and our civil liberties and basic human rights are seriously being jeopardised. We need to work together in order to prevent the unjust situations that have arisen and to bring to justice those that have perpetrated such abuse. Recent events have shown that many Muslims are being targeted, and fear of the Muslim community is spiralling out of control. We would like everyone to attend a meeting at Al-Muntada Al-Islami to discuss what action the Muslims need to take in order to stem this attack on our community and the individuals within it, who are just working to help our community. One of our main aims is to demand a public enquiry into this and other incidents of Police Terror. Remember their words: "Where is your God now!?" We need to act now... We implore you to attend our Emergency Meeting at Al-Muntada Al-Islami, this Wednesday (10th Dec) at 7pm. 7 Bridges Place, Parsons Green, Fulham, London SW6 4HW Tel: 020 7471 8266 Email: info@stoppoliceterror.com May Allah protect us all and guide us to do that which is best. Ameen. Wa'alaykum as salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu. _______________________________________________________________________ We demand a Public Enquiry into this and other incidents to Stop Police Terror.
