The BBC reports that the group Islam4UK will be banned under the Terrorism Act<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

A radical Islamist group that planned a march through Wootton Bassett will be banned under counter-terrorism laws, Home Secretary Alan Johnson has said.<\/p>\n

Islam4UK had planned the protest at the Wiltshire town to honour Muslims killed in the Afghanistan conflict.<\/p>\n

The government had been considering outlawing the group — Islam4UK is also known as al-Muhajiroun<\/em>.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for Islam4UK told the BBC it was an “ideological and political organisation”, and not a violent one.<\/p>\n

Mr Johnson said: “I have today laid an order which will proscribe al-Muhajiroun<\/em>, Islam4UK, and a number of the other names the organisation goes by. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The strength of the government’s move may be judged by the next statement in the report: “It is already proscribed under two other names — al-Ghurabaa<\/em> and The Saved Sect.” <\/p>\n

So, Islam4UK will be “banned” . . . in the sense that the organization has to come up with another alias, but the group itself will suffer no other hardship? Perhaps I’m missing the point of this little exercise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
