BRITAIN: More Islamic Extremist Posters Appear Around East London

Another set of Islamist posters have appeared around the poorer neighborhoods of East London.

It is understood the posters were found last Thursday morning at council-managed housing blocks in Shadwell, next to the DLR and Overground station. They state: “You are entering a Shariah controlled zone. Islamic rules enforced.” Underneath, images declare that smoking, alcohol, music, drugs, prostitution and porn are forbidden. Although they do not mention homosexuality, the posters are expected to cause concern among the local gay population. In June, an 18-year-old man was fined £100 after he was convicted of distributing stickers declaring parts of Tower Hamlets a “gay-free zone”. The latest posters are identical to ones found in Waltham Forest and Newham.

One local imam told police he has thousands of people "ready to patrol" the streets in order to discourage "anti-Islamic behavior."

BRITAIN: Peter Tatchell Calls On Prime Minister To Endorse Marriage

Echoing the debate in the United States, noted British activist Peter Tatchell is calling on Prime Minister David Cameron to endorse same-sex marriage.

The British people are ready for change, with a clear majority in favour of allowing same-sex partners to marry. A Populus poll for the Times newspaper in June 2009 found that 61 per cent of the public believe that: “Gay couples should have an equal right to get married, not just to have civil partnerships.” Only 33 per cent disagreed. The deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg and London Mayor Boris Johnson back marriage equality, as do the leaders of Labour and the Greens, respectively Ed Miliband and Caroline Lucas. Only David Cameron is holding out against same-sex marriage rights. What is he afraid of?
