Hell For Heroes

An extreme Muslim group which caused outrage by burning a poppy last Remembrance Sunday is planning further disruption on November 11, with a twisted 'Hell for Heroes' campaign.

The demo, which mocks the charity for injured soldiers Help for Heroes, is due to take place outside the Royal Albert Hall, the same location where a poppy was burned last year.

No respect: Muslim protesters burn a poppy at a Muslims against Remembrance Day protest last year

The Muslims Against Crusades protesters, who have sought permission from police to hold the rally, aim to chant and disrupt the minute's silence held in honour of the war dead.

Firebrand cleric Anjem Choudary, who has links to the Muslims Against Crusades group, said: 'It's going to be called Hell for Heroes and it will be around the Royal Albert Hall.

'It will involve a protest and not observing the minute's silence. We had a significant amount of support from Muslims around the world last year.

Emdadur Choudhury was ordered by a court to pay just £50 for burning a poppy last November

Firebrand: Cleric Anjem Choudary said the protest would disrupt the minute's silence. Right, Emdadur Choudhury was fined £50 for burning a poppy last year

'It's one thing to remember the dead from the First World War and subsequent wars but it's quite another when they say we need to remember the dead from Afghanistan and Iraq.

'It's become a political football and if they are going to use Remembrance Day for that purpose it's only right that we have a counter protest, which we say is for Muslims.

'The Army is currently at war with Muslims in Muslim countries.'

Choudary also played down reports that MP Mike Freer had feared for his safety after a protest at a north London mosque where he was holding a surgery last Friday afternoon.

Up to a dozen protesters forced their way into the mosque where Mr Freer was meeting constituents, prompting officials to lock him in a private room for his own safety.

Mr Freer, a member of Conservative Friends of Israel, said he was called a 'Jewish homosexual pig'.

He said he only later realised the MAC website had made reference to MP Stephen Timms, who was stabbed in his surgery by a Muslim women.

Choudary played down the protest saying: 'It was peaceful and there were no arrests.

'As far as I am aware, there is no suggestion anyone from MAC said anything anti-Semitic or homophobic.'

A small group of sick people out there. Such a shame.

[Darkon84]

Sad, pathetic little people.

Typical idiots trying to make it all about religion to justify their sick protest.

Things like this wind me up an absolute treat

[I am Rod Hull]

I thought they liked poppies ?

They spend most of their time growing them...

[accessory]

The MAC are tiresome little wind-up merchants who feed off the bigotry of papers like the Mail.

It shouldn't need saying, but 99% of Muslims find them as repulsive as the rest of us do.

[Yojoe36]

Lets get the pigs blood out!!!!!

[Rincewind]

They now have publicity on here.

[The Doctor]

Lets get the pigs blood out!!!!!

aah yes, the validate the morons actions by rising the bait approach, why don't we use that more often?

Most war "heroes" fought to protect basic human rights (unless you're a conspiracy theorist or a massive cynic - my views differ slightly dependent on the war discussed but that's beside the point) and those basic human rights include the right to freedom of thought and expression.

If they disagree with the actions of the military, then they have the right to voice their thoughts about it. Whether they are going about it in an appropriate and sensible way is a different discussion but they have the right to do this retarded protest whether people like it or not.

[Finnegan]

Well this was in no way predictable.

[somebum]

followed closely by another classic Daily Mail headline:

'We're not racist, but..'

Shite paper.

[acooling08]

They say they have support from Muslims around the world.

Even I know that that's bullshit

However, these cretins should definately been deported and banned from entering this country for life.

[Rincewind]

They do not exactly say that they have the support of ALL muslims from over the world but with the Mail being what it is, it mentions Muslim several times in the story and the Mail reader being who they are are lead to draw the conclusion that these acts are supported by all muslims. Is there a counter balamce statement by a Muslim spokesperson that opposes the action?

The article is specificly designed for the readers that already have anti-Muslim views. Now the intended actions of these protesters are known there may be some people who will also join in the protest wherehas they would have kept quiet.. Also Rent a Mob will also make an appearance.

Congratulations Daily Mail, you have done it again.

[acooling08]

We should pitch them and the EDL in a last man standing kill fest. Who wins? Society.

[Guest Bilo]

MAC are largely populated by middle class, spoiled ne'er do-wells looking to rebel against their communities and parents as well as genuinely stupid teenagers who haven't progressed beyond a pathetic victim mentality. If anything, they're even less representative of ordinary Muslims as the EDL are of ordinary English people.

They're a joke and should be perceived as such rather than have screaming headlines devoted to them. A nothing organisation of literally a few dozen unemployable misfits who should be a threat to nobody but themselves are being blown out of all proportion. If Anjem Choudary, a man renowned as a raving pisshead at uni with no Islamic scholarly qualifications whatsoever, is your poster boy you know you're in trouble.

Ban them? No, it's actually more fun to watch people who would struggle to register double figures in an IQ test humiliate themselves in public. Freedom of speech isn't selective and nor should it be.

This might be the first time I've seen an acooling post that wasn't utter tripe.

This. This. This x10¹⁰⁰ (which incidentally is the lifetime of a black hole in years).

Though the idea of them and the EDL in a locked room with weaponry does have some appeal.

[Guest MattP]

Can't we counter protest and erect giant screens on all 4 sides of them?

[J.Lisemore]

all a bit predictable and boring. Theyll always be sick people like this, so theres not much point getting worked up about it.

I agree with them having the right to disagree/protest e.t.c. But there's no need to piss on the graves (hypothetically speaking) of those who died in service of their country.

If it weren't for them, those extremist wankers wouldn't be here in our country.

Are you implying that ALL soldiers have given their lives for the sake of the freedom of others?

Nope. I'm just sticking up for those who have.

[Webbo]

Why is it racist for a newspaper to report what somebody has said/threatened?Isn't that their job?

Is this racist?

[Daggers]

If twats like the Mail didn't print stories about them then no one would notice the insignificant cvnts.

[Webbo]

It's not the job of any paper to decide what we're not allowed to know.

[somebum]

Nope. I'm just sticking up for those who have.

So say for instance one of these extremists 'pisses' on a grave of a soldier killed in Afghanistan. Did that soldier fight for the freedom of that extremist?
