Unite Against Fascism is calling on all anti-fascists from across London to come to Harrow this Sunday to defend the local mosque from racists for the second time this year. A group called “Stop the Islamisation of Europe” - which brands all Muslims in Britain as “extremists” - is planning to march on Harrow Central Mosque on Sunday 13 December.

This group, together with the racist thugs of the English Defence League, tried to march on Harrow mosque on 11 September this year. But they were blocked by a magnificent turnout of 2,000 people, young and old, from across all the communities who joined the UAF protest and defended the mosque and prevented the racists from getting near it.
Today they threaten the mosque, tomorrow it could be a synagogue, temple or church. Today they threaten Muslims, tomorrow it could be Jews, Hindus, Sikhs, blacks, gays, travellers or any other minority.

Fascists have been beaten before by people standing united against them: at Cable Street in the 1930s, Lewisham in the 1970s and in Derbyshire this Summer where black and white, young and old, Hindu, Christian, Muslim and Jew, gay and straight all came together to oppose the BNP’s fascist rally. In September we made it clear that these thugs are not welcome in Harrow. Now we must make Harrow a No-Go Zone for Nazis.

We are calling on our supporters to flyer tube stations on thursday and friday this week to help build the demo. People across London will be disgusted that groups of racists are threatening to mobilise on the streets of London, and will respond well to the call to action.
