The Rainbow Network (thanks to Twostellas) is reporting that a British gay group is trying to stop a rally by Al-Muhajiroun. Now this puts London Mayor Ken Livingstone in a tight spot: will he side with the gay group, and thus reject multiculturalism, or with the Muslim radicals, and thus be homophobic?
A note also to those who would equate the “Christian Right” with the Taliban and similar groups: no Christian group is calling for the killing of homosexuals. Al-Muhajiroun is. This just underscores the fact that the struggle against the global jihad is not a conservative struggle, but a struggle that every potential victim of that jihad should take up: liberal, conservative, whatever.
The Gay and Lesbian Humanist Association (GALHA) is calling on London’s mayor Ken Livingstone to ban a rally by the extremist and ultra-homophobic Islamic group Al-Muhajiroun. …
The group has proposed that homosexuality should carry the death penalty. This, GALHA asserts, is “clearly promoting the killing of gay people.”
An acute observation.
It is understood that in 2002 the Greater London Authority refused permission for the Al-Muhajiroun to stage a similar rally, but it went ahead anyway.
Will Bakri and his crew flout the authorities again?
