Pastor Terry Jones, the man who wanted to burn a Koran on the anniversary of the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center, is due to speak at an English Defence League (EDL) rally in Luton in February. The EDL are a bunch of racist thugs and football hooligans who have sought to incite hatred against Britain’s Muslim communities by staging confrontational rallies in multi-racial areas.The presence in Luton of one of the most controversial anti-Muslim preachers in the world will be incendiary and highly dangerous. It will provide a boost to every racist in this country and spread fear among Muslim communities. The hatred whipped up by Jones and the EDL can only lead to more extremism and violence.
That's why the organisation Hope not hate are calling on the Home Secretary to prevent him entering Britain. Will you add your name to the letter?
Everywhere the EDL have gone they have caused trouble. The last time they were in Luton 250 of them rampaged through a predominantly Asian area smashing windows, attacking people and overturning cars. With Pastor Jones at their side the EDL could whip up even more trouble next time, not just in Luton but all over the country.
We must stop the EDL tearing our communities apart. That is why the HOPE not hate campaign says the Home Secretary should ban Pastor Jones from entering the UK. If you agree, then please sign their letter at: http://action.hopenothate.org.uk/page/s/Preacher-of-Hate
