		<description>DEFEND HARROWâ€™S DIVERSE &amp; UNITED COMMUNITY
â€œStop the Islamisation of Europeâ€ and the
â€œEnglish Defence Leagueâ€ a group of racist
football hooligans with links to the fascist
BNP are threatening to invade Harrow on
Sunday December 13th to demonstrate
against the Harrow Central Mosque. We
cannot stand by and let these racists attack
any section of our community. An injury
to one is an injury to all.

Islamophobia - bigotry against Muslims - is
as unacceptable as any other form of
racism. Its aim is to divide us by making
scapegoats of one community as the Nazis
did with the Jews in the 1930s. Today they
threaten the mosque, tomorrow it could be a
synagogue, temple or church. Today they
threaten Muslims, tomorrow it could be
Jews, Hindus, Sikhs, blacks, gays, travellers
or any other minority.

Fascists have been beaten before by
people standing united against them: at
Cable Street in the 1930s, Lewisham in the
1970s and in Derbyshire this Summer where
black and white, young and old, Hindu,
Christian, Muslim and Jew, gay and straight
all came together to oppose the BNPâ€™s
fascist rally. In September we made it clear
that these thugs are not welcome in
Harrow. Now we must make Harrow a
No-Go Zone for Nazis.

Please sign the statement of support for Harrow Central Mosque
Join the demonstration on Sunday December 13th
We are black, white, Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Sikh and Jew
Assemble 12 noon Sunday December 13th on the wide pavement
outside Harrow Civic Centre opposite the Central Mosque

		<description>Alhamdo lillah, Jazakallaha khair,

A similar incident took place here in Houston. Someone stuffed their empty beer cans and bottles in our trash can the night of September 11 and 12. My son went berserk and threw the trash on the street, cursed and called names.

It took a lot of education, patience and quotations from the Quran and Sunnah to bring him to his senses.

Bottom line is, no one saw the perpetrators who this this to us in the dark of the night. The whole neighborhood saw and heard my son.

In the end, I called the police and made a report of hate crime. That too, required a lot of persuasion and persistence. The last thing I told my son was, (showing him the bag of trash) &quot;This is a bag of hasanat sent to us as a gift by Allah. The matter of the believer is strange. When he experiences good times, he is grateful and benefits. When he experiences bad times, he is patient and benefits from that too.&quot; Allahu aalim.

 All parents should make it a point to talk to their youth about the adab of being victimized. Of being smart and using their intellect vs their emotions. Of defeating their enemies at their own games. Of not letting other people push their buttons. Of being in control, not relinquishing control to others. The best example is that of our beloved prophet, sallallahu wa alihi wa sallam, who turned every attempt at tormenting him into an opportunity for dawah.</description>

		<description>Aslamwalikum Brothers. 

Im here sitting at my computer in Canada...I&#039;ve never knew that this was the situation in London.. I havent heard of any news that racist groups have gathered together and started protests...wow...right now im kind of shaken. In Canada there are a bit or racists but they&#039;re scattered they&#039;ve never dared to get in a group and protest. Also Im amazed at the point you brought up &quot;not to be lured in to a trap&quot;. And thats agreeable. The best of people is one who thinks in a tough situation and acts upon the way allah would want him to act.

Inshallah Brothers please dont be lured into fighting.

Aslamwalikum I will pray for you.</description>
