British Muslims to Vote in EU Election
Administrator on June 4th, 2009
British Muslims are urged to vote in the European Election on Thursday 4 June to prevent Far Right parties from gaining seats in the European elections. Through coming out to vote, British Muslims can help defeat such extreme and racist ideologies. Tactical voting is required to ensure that such parties do not get their racist and fascist voice in, and money from, local councils and the European Parliament to use it in spreading hatred against Muslims and ethnic minorities.
Leaders of Five religions, including Imam Qari Asim of Makkah Masjid, came together to issue a press release, sending a message of “hope not hate” and encouraging voters to vote in the European Election.
The press release was published in Yorkshire Evening Post on Wednesday 3 June 2009.

Hi
The racist BNP have two seats in the European election. It’s a disgrace – they hate everything great about Britain. I’ve just signed a petition which says NOT IN MY NAME. The petition will be handed into the European Parliament on the day that BNP leader Nick Griffin goes to the European Parliament. I’d like you to sign the petition as well – let’s show the rest of the EU what we think of the racist BNP:
