Are we all Hizbollah?

Placard from yesterday's demo

I think not.

That photo was taken by Lenin (no, not the Russian one, a pro-SWP blogger) yesterday at the anti-Isreali protest in Central London, called by the Stop the War Coalition, CND, the Muslim Association of Britain, and I believe, a new outfit called the British Muslim Initative.

It doesn’t surprise me that there are such people from the Muslim community who identify with Hizbollah, but what does irk me greatly is that no-one, speficially from the Socialist Workers Party, ever challenges it. Socialists have nothing in common with groups like Hizbollah.

More needs to be done to break Muslim workers from auto-Islamism, and that means raising a socialist programme.

    They are protesting against the Isreali attack upon Lebanon, but they are also supporting Hizbollah, which is a very violent, murderous militia (private army) in Lebanon.
