in the uk where the march was to be held it is against the laws of the land to use do or use anything that incites racial hatred. this march would have done that and in doing so have broken the laws of the land.
an act of parliament for those who aren't sure is in fact a law. only parliament can create or break laws and making them is called an act.
The Racial and Religious Hatred Act 2006 is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom (citation 2006 c. 1) which creates an offence in England and Wales of inciting hatred against a person on the grounds of their religion. The Act was the Labour Government's third attempt to bring in this offence: provisions were originally included as part of the Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Bill in 2001, but were dropped after objections from the House of Lords. The measure was again brought forward as part of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Bill in 2004-5, but was again dropped in order to get the body of that Bill passed before the 2005 general election.
The Act is notable because two amendments made in the House of Lords failed to be overturned by the Government in the House of Commons.
Most of the act came into force on 1 October 2007.
this isn't about freedom of speech btw. anyone of these people can voice their individual opinions. what they can't do is voice it in a way as to incite hatred towards anyone who isn't an islamist.
this is what the marchers said the march was intending to do;
Choudary said he chose Wootton Bassett to attract maximum attention and, he asserted, 500 members of Islam4UK would carry 'symbolic coffins' in memory of the Muslim civilians 'murdered by merciless' coalition forces. By 5 January 2010, over 400,000 people had joined a Facebook group opposing the march.
the main islamic groups of the uk said they didn't agree with the extremist.
freedom of speech is a fallacy when it's used as a tool to allow the spread of hate.
if they marched for the reason given it would have broken the LAWS of the land. not sharia laws but ENGLISH LAWS. the laws which count when you live in the uk. i'd love to see the english march down downtown shariville protesting about all the english soldiers killed. they'd be blown up before they turned the first corner. in the uk we'd sooner just say no.
