muslims march in wales, of all places. they’re everywhere and spreading like …. you name it.

Never give Wales a thought. I guess cos it’s so far from us, and it’s been a good 25 or so years since I’ve visited there. It just isn’t in the forefront of things. Til today when I happened upon this small story. Wales is not a very big place, and I would not in the normal course of things think of Wales and muslims together.
That is, until today. Look at a map, and do a small amount of research on Wales, it’s weather and customs and landscape etc. I hate to think of that beautiful place and muslims too.  It as tho they leave a trail of slime or something just not clean in their wake. Sort of like gypsies, romas, travelers. That ilk but with religion.


Hundreds in city centre for 30th annual Martyr’s march

By Ruth Mansfield

AROUND 500 Muslims marched through Newport city centre this afternoon in the 30th annual Martyr’s march.

The march, which is organised by the Islamic Society for Wales, commemorates the anniversary of the martyrdom of the Prophet Mohammed’s grandson Imam Hussain.

Imam Hussain was among 73 Muslims slaughtered in Iraq more than 1,300 years ago.

Men, women and children chanted as they took part in the hour-long march which made its way way from Victoria Place, along Commercial Street and back up Stow Hill.

The marchers also repeatedly placed their hands against their chest as they paraded through the city while some carried flags and banners.

The marchers stopped along Commercial Street for a group of men to perform chants while beating their hands against their chests.

The event grabbed the attention of shoppers and passers-by who stopped to watch with some also taking photographs of the early afternoon march.

Also among the marchers was Mayor of Newport, Cllr John Guy who made a short speech before helping to lead the parade.

Speaking to the crowd, he said: “The Muslim community send a wonderful example of hard work and community spirit. I wish you all success and all the best for this very important day.”

Secretary of the society, Mubarak Ali said the march was the first of its kind in the UK and possibly Europe.

He said: “We started this in 1982 so are now in our 30th year.

I am really pleased with everyone coming and really appreciate the Mayor coming to support us.”

Organisers also thanked the council, police and marshals who had helped with the event.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
  1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
  2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
