The planned Al\u2011Quds Day march in London on March 15 once again exposed a disturbing reality: Britain\u2019s experiment with multiculturalism has created a public square where hostility toward the nation and its allies can flourish openly.<\/p>\n

The event, organised by the Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC), was eventually cancelled after Mark Rowley, Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis, requested a ban which was approved by Shabana Mahmood.<\/p>\n

Yet the very fact that such a march had been planned at all is an indictment of the political culture that has allowed extremist-adjacent activism to masquerade as legitimate protest.<\/p>\n

For years the march has been associated with sectarian agitation and provocative symbolism on the streets of Britain\u2019s capital. A nation that once prided itself on civic cohesion now appears paralysed when confronted with movements that openly import the conflicts of the Middle East into British life.<\/p>\n

Al-Quds is the Arabic name for Jerusalem. The\u00a0Day was created by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini after Iran\u2019s 1979 revolution.<\/p>\n

Government Warnings Ignored<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>Thousands of pro-Iran demonstrators ignored the government’s directives and went ahead with the cancelled hate rally.<\/p>\n

Demonstrators congregated<\/b><\/a> on the South Bank of the Thames for “prayers” and brandished placards declaring ‘boom boom Tel Aviv’.<\/p>\n

Chants of ‘from the river to the sea’ and ‘Israel is a terror state’ could be heard as people held pictures of the assassinated Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and his successor, Mojtada Khamenei.<\/p>\n

According to the Met Police, three people have been arrested so far. One for showing support for a proscribed organisation, one for dangerous driving and a third for threatening and abusive behaviour.<\/p>\n

Pascal Robinson-Foster – one half of the punk rap duo Bob Vylan – repeated his disgraceful Glastonbury chant of ‘death to the IDF’ following a ranting speech at the rally.<\/p>\n

Bob Vylan’s performance in June last year sparked widespread backlash and led to the Robinson-Foster having his US visa revoked and gigs cancelled.<\/p>\n

Around a hundred counter-protesters were seen on the opposite side of the Thames ahead of a demonstration organised by Stop The Hate.<\/p>\n
