Fatwa on British Democracy

A member of the Lords who invited her fellow Lords to a private meeting in a conference room of the House of Lords to meet the Dutch politician Geert Wilders, an elected member of the Dutch parliament, to watch his controversial movie Fitna and discuss the movie and Mr. Wilders’ opinions with him was threatened by another Lord with a FATWA.

Barely had the invitation been sent to all the members of the House when Lord Ahmed threatened JIHAD on the House of Parliament. He threatened to mobilize 10,000 Muslims to prevent Mr. Wilders from entering the House and threatened to take the colleague who was organizing the event to court. The result is that the event, which should have taken place next Thursday was cancelled.

Lord Ahmed immediately went to the Pakistani press to boast about his achievement, which he calls “a victory for the Muslim community.”

A victory for the Muslim community, but a defeat for British democracy.
