Update on petition Thank you for your support in this campaign. From our humble beginnings a week ago, today we have surpassed 20,300. Theres no denying that the campaign has been a great success and in particular so far; 1. Maajid Nawaz (MN) has been silenced, and is no longer attacking people with foul language online, as he did so initially. 2. Maajid Nawaz been forced into an undignified apology (which is not accepted) in an attempt to save his position; 3. Maajid Nawaz’s group, Quilliam Foundation (QF) has been dropped from nomination for an award from the British Muslim Awards. Its not an understatement to say that both MN and QF have been given a real bloody nose (metaphorically speaking of course). But despite these early successes we have been blessed with, this is no time for complacency. The hard work really now begins in ending this so that our demands are met. We must not relent or give up in our aims. Whilst we have had great successes to date, the ultimate success, the jewel in the crown is to make sure MN is removed from the party and stripped of the opportunity to ever run for parliament again. It needs to be made clear that he is unrepresentative of the sentiments and the values of the majority of the Muslims in the UK and all who believe that, especially, individuals who hold public office have a responsibility to tolerate the religious and ethical views of others and make a serious effort not to insult people who hold hold such views different from one’s own, The honour of Prophet Muhammed (salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam) and that of Isa (Alaihi salaam) was dishonoured in unthinkable ways. We have surpassed 20,300 signatures but we need many, many more. The more signatures the stronger our message to the Liberal Democrats is that, this behaviour is unacceptable. It is of vital importance that we redouble our efforts and encourage all our friends, family and colleagues to sign the petition especially now at a time when the counter petition is gaining signatures at a faster rate than ours. I therefore urge you all to join the team in making a strong stand and do the following: 1. Please continue to share, share and share and raise awareness. 2. Please make appointments with your local LibDem MP/Councillors stressing to them how you feel. Please also see elected reps from other parties in your area and ask them to take action; 3. Please join the twitter campaign, using hashtag #binmaajid. Bring this matter to the attention of any individuals that you know/have contact with that have large followings. Tweet the Senior Leadership of the Liberal Democrats voicing your opinion on how disgraceful this behaviour by the Liberal Democrats is. JazakAllah Khayr Thank You, Online Petition Link: chn.ge/1bc6cb8
