A controversial Muslim group that planned to hold a ‘Hell for heroes’ protest on Armistice Day has been banned from operating in the UK.
The Muslims Against Crusades group were due to hold their demonstration at the Royal Albert Hall today but Home Secretary Theresa May blocked the event by banning members from operating after midnight on Thursday 11th November.
May stated that she is satisfied that the group was the same as the organization that had previously operated under the name of Al Ghurabaa, The Saved Sect, Al Muhajiround and Islam4UK.
Previous Muslims Against Crusades protests have included the burning of a poppy on Remembrance Sunday in 2010, following which Emdadur Choudhur was fined £50 for carrying out the act.
