CAIRO A mob of English racists, neo-Nazis, right-wingers, football hooligans and racist thugs are planning a huge anti-Muslim march in Glasgow, near Scotlands biggest mosque, the Sunday Mail reported on October 25. "A lot of the different firms down here seem to have buried the hatchet and are sickened by the rising tide of Islam," said Stephen Gash, an English businessman and a member of the Stop Islamisation of Europe (SIOE) group.
Whether or not that is the case in Scotland, we will have to see.
A group calling themselves the Scottish Defence League made and then withdrew an official application to stage a march on November 14 in Glasgow.
"There will not be an appropriately organized or licensed public procession," a Glasgow City Council spokesman told the Mail.
Yet behind the scenes, preparations are underway for a huge demonstration on that date, undercover Sunday Mail investigators have discovered.
Expected to show up for the anti-Muslim rally are English racists, neo-Nazis, far-right trouble makers, football hooligans and right-wingers, including senior activists of the British National Party (BNP).
They include Essex security boss Leisha Brookes, BNP activist Chris Renton, Aston Villa fan Richard Price and Jeff Marsh, a 44-year-old convicted football hooligan.
Glasgow may well be the biggest march yet, said Gash has helped organize similar protests in Harrow, Middlesex which descended into chaos.
"In Scotland, we will be demonstrating the strength of our support, which, across the UK, is growing at rate of almost 1000 a month, said Brookes, 42.
Senior police officers and politicians fear the flare-up of violence, especially that the illegal march is expected to take place near Glasgow Central Mosque.
There are more than 50,000 Muslims making up less than one percent of the Scottish population, according to the Scottish Islamic Foundation.
Muslims are the second largest religious group in Scotland, which has thirty mosques, including twelve in Glasgow.
Racist Invasion
The Sunday Mail asserts that most of the protestors would be coming from England, not Scotland.
"There will be a lot of English guys travelling up for the Glasgow march from all over the place - Bristol, Luton, Birmingham, said Gash.
A lot of the football firms like Aston Villa get involved. I have a lot on but I will be going to Glasgow.
The same trend happened in a recent similar anti-Muslim rally in Swansea held by the Welsh Defence League eight days ago.
"In Swansea, the vast majority of protesters were actually English and that will be the same in Glasgow, said Taha Idris, of Swansea Bay Racial Equality Council.
"It was quite obvious that a lot of people had come from elsewhere for the rally.
They are basically a rent-a-mob and a bunch of troublemakers. There are serious football hooligans attached to these people."
