LEBANON: WE NEED YOUR HELP URGENTLY

NATIONAL EMERGENCY DEMONSTRATION
SATURDAY 5 AUGUST: ASSEMBLE 12 NOON
SPEAKERS CORNER, HYDE PARK, LONDON
MARCH PASS US EMBASSY AND DOWNING STREET
TO PARLIAMENT SQUARE FOR RALLY

After the Qana massacre, no one can deny what we are witnessing: the
systematic destruction of two countries. Everyone who is horrified at what
is happening can help to bring this carnage to an end. We need the biggest
possible turnout on Saturday's emergency demonstration. What you do in the
next few days can make a difference. Tony Blair is under the most intense
pressure on all sides to detach himself from his master George Bush's
catastrophic warmongering and call for an immediate unconditional
ceasefire. His party wants him to stop. His cabinet wants him to stop. The
vast majority of people in the country want him to stop. This demonstration
can intensify that pressure to breaking point.

i know we should show what israel is doin is wrong, but demonstrations neva help man, it dont make a difference all it does is the media just get a chance 2 photo us :p and some dumb muslims decide 2 wear bombs or summin & make the situation worse then it is!! and the people @ demonstrations aint got a clue whay they om about :p

[amirah_87]

ass salaamu alaykum,

i heard that demonstrations were a form of imitating the kufaar..wallaahu A3alm!!

hmmm lol

but theres a hadiths which says

"if you see some injustice, stop it, and if you are unable to stop it, then condemn it publicly, and if you cant condemn it publicly, then condemn it in your heart and that would be the lowest form of imaan" [bukhari]

so that why me said its good 2 show what israel is dooin is wrong, but demonstrations never make a difference :heated:

truuu say, but atleast it brings muslims together init?

ye i use to think this, then i heard a talk about how muslims should show courage and stuff and sis, but then again the prophet saws and sahabi's never done demonstrations... there was that march lead by Umar RA and Hamza RA to show that muslims arent scared and they just wanted to Announce there Islam. If you think about it we could do it with that intention...

I was just thinking along the same lines.

Do you really think demonstrations help?

sometimes. Look at the recent flight of explsives being transferred by the terrorsit network in the USA o the other terrorist netwok in Israel, via the quiete by cunning terrorist in the UK. It was due o regular demonstration at Prestwick Airport, whcih left no other choice but to transfer these weapons of mass destrcution via another route. So sometimes they can make a diffeence. But sometimes they can also get hijacked and just give us muslim a bad name. I thuk what stand out the most in demos are banners. Banners should be rasied but not offenseive ones. Ones that make a point such as UK and USA are sponsor and suplliers of state terror!
