Islamism

Anti-Islamic?

This photo and caption from London’s Al Quds Day demonstration appeared in Monday’s Washington Post:

al-quds-london

I’m wondering if any of the protestors there can fairly be called “anti-Islamic.” And it would have been helpful if the caption acknowledged that the demonstration was sponsored by the Khomeinist Islamic Human Rights Commission.

Update: The Guardian reports:

Far-right supporters of the English Defence League were today involved in a standoff with pro-Palestinian demonstrators in central London.

There were several brief confrontations as EDL activists chanted “We hate Muslims” and “Muslim bombers off our streets”.

So yes, unfortunately, it appears that some of the protestors were anti-Islamic.
