From Unite Against Fascism-Edinburgh:
ann arky's home.
Hello
Below is a statement on the
recent murder in Woolwich and details of a despicable protest
organised by the Scottish Defence League. Please forward and share
this information.
Unite Against Fascism-Edinburgh sends its
condolences to the family and friends of the soldier murdered in
Woolwich. There can be no justification for such a terrible attack
on an individual.
Despicably, racist and fascist organisations such as the Scottish and English Defence Leagues are trying to use this tragedy to whip up racism and direct hatred against all Muslims.
We must not give a quarter to those who would judge an entire religion, race or nationality by the actions of a few. We do not hold Norwegian Christians responsible for the actions of the fascist Anders Breivik, whose 2011 rampage left 77 dead. We do not hold all white British people collectively responsible for David Copeland, the former BNP member who planted bombs across London in 1999. Nor should anyone suggest that Britain’s Muslims are collectively responsible for the attack in Woolwich.
The Scottish Defence League (SDL) have organised a protest to try to stir up trouble and racist violence in the wake of the Woolwich killing, they do not care about the dead soldier, his family or the interests of any community.
We stand together to oppose the SDL protest outside Scottish parliament on Saturday 1 June.
