DAR AL HARB - U.K.: A NEW MOSLEM NETWORK IN THE UNITED KINGDOM,WHY?!? TO BOOST THE ANTI-WAR MOVEMENT (A LEFTIST & JIHADIST FUSION)

Muslim network launched to boost anti-war movement in UK

Britain's Stop The War Coalition (STWC) is launching a new Muslim network to help strengthen the country's anti-war campaign at a time of intensifying Islamophobic attacks against the 1.8 million community.

From the outset, Muslims have played a very important role in building the anti-war movement but as the attacks on the community increase the "need for Muslims to fight back will increase further," STWC said.

"The anti-war coalition has shown all of us what uniting and working together can achieve. The coalition in Britain could not have been so successful if it was not for the conscious decision to reach out to different groups," it said.

The new Muslim network was launched in the northwestern English city of Manchester Saturday. A further launch meeting is to be held in London on February 11.

Muslim organizations have been an integral part of the STWC since it was established following the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001. It has grown to become Britain's biggest campaign group with the Iraq war, organizing the largest-ever peace demonstrations seen in London.

The umbrella organization has also taken up such issues as the plight of the Palestinians and the threats being made against Iran and has also been challenging the growth of Islamophobia in the UK.
