Iran va Jahan

Potkin Azarmehr

Commemoration of the July 99 student uprising in Iran has become an annual event for the opposition to the mullahs inside and outside Iran. Today, the commemoration in London had a broader message however in the aftermath of the London bombings.

The first demonstration was held outside the Embassy of the Islamic Republic in Kensington. A one minute silence was held in memory of Thursday's victims of the indiscriminate bombing attacks in London. Speaker after speaker emphasised the global threat of the Islamic fundamentalism and the need to establish a global front to combat it. The demonstrators explained to passers by that after the tragic events of Thursday, Islamic fundamentalism is not just a problem for us Iranians but for everyone who values peace, liberty, tolerance and human rights. Many passers by joined the demonstration and some helped to distribute the leaflets which bore the central message of "Make Islamic Fundamentalism History".

The demonstrators then moved on to the Islamic Centre in England, based in Maida Vale, London.

Passers by there again welcomed the message of the Iranian protestors. A photographer from the Sunday Mirror and a freelance journalist also covered the event.

The following is the leaflet handed out today:

Heroic People of Britain,

The Islamic terrorists can take down a building, bomb a train, and kill and maim innocent people but they will not break the resolve of the people who stand united to defend liberty and freedom.

If the people of the world who value peace, freedom, and human rights unite and put pressure on spineless European politicians and media to tackle the Islamic fundamentalists head on, we will not be defeated.

Islamic terror networks that finance, harbor, brainwash and train these thugs and extremists are appearing all over Europe under different guises. Islamic apologists appear too often on our televisions and try to justify terror acts.

Remember how the Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, invited Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, and gave him a red carpet treatment. Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, is the Islamic cleric who justifies suicide bombings as an act of Islamic martyrdom. Yusuf Al-Qaradawi supports beating of women and female circumcisions, yet the Mayor of London decided to give him a platform last year.

The European politicians have courted and bowed to the Ayatollahs in the Islamic Republic for over 25 years, just for the sake of a few short-term business contracts. Meanwhile the Islamic Republic of Iran has continued to finance and sustain terror groups throughout the world. Now the Islamic Republic is close to obtaining nuclear weapons. Will you let the Islamic clerics in Iran obtain nuclear weapons?

On Saturday 9th July, Iranian pro-democracy supporters will stage a protest outside the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran (16 PRINCE`S GATE LONDON SW7 1PT), between 1-4 PM and then later between 4-6 PM outside the Islamic Centre in Maida Vale (140 Maida Vale, London, W9 1QB) London. Join us and stand up against Islamic fundamentalism.
