Hold these dates of seminar, conference and event against Sharia law and Stoning and for Women's Rights

‘Enemies not Allies’ Seminar
26 January 2011, 18.30 – 20.00 (Registration begins at 18.00), Conway Hall, 25 Red Lion Square, London WC1R 4RL (Holborn Tube)

Bigots and neo-Nazis feigning to campaign for rights... ‘anti-racist’ groups promoting fascism... ‘anti-war’ rallies run by supporters of terrorism and dictatorship… Enough!

The One Law for All campaign is holding a seminar to expose how important debates including on Sharia law have been hijacked by the far-Right to promote their racist agenda, and by anti-racist and anti-war groups to defend Islamism, both at the expense of people’s rights and lives. The seminar will focus on: The British National Party, the English Defence League, Stop Islamisation of Europe (also Stop Islamization of America), the Stop the War Coalition, the Respect Party, and Unite Against Fascism.

Speakers at the seminar are Adam Barnett (One Law for All), Rahila Gupta (Women’s Rights Campaigner), Marieme Helie Lucas (Secularism is a Women’s Issue), Ghaffar Hussain (Quilliam Foundation), Douglas Murray (Centre for Social Cohesion), Maryam Namazie (One Law for All), and Shiraz Maher (International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation), with John Adams (Emeritus Professor at the University of Hertfordshire) to chair.

Entry fee: £5 individuals; £10 voluntary and statutory organisations. For booking form and speaker bios.

What a joke.

Maryam Namazie and her communist cohorts are presumably the only people capable of stopping Islamism, then?

Your inclusion of SIOE is more to do with us banning totalitarianists, such as communists, from our events, than any notion that racism is our motivation.

You would be better served continuing your efforts to stop sharia law becoming a feature in Europe, than with distracting accusations against other groups.

So far, your efforts to stop sharia have patently failed.
