THE MUHAMMAD CARTOONS

THE MUHAMMAD CARTOONSAppendix One:The Counter-Jihadist MovementA plethora of organisations, campaign groupsand discussion forums make up Britain’s broad‘counter-jihad’ (CJ) scene. Most are interlinkedand share activists, ideas and activism.Some are more extreme – such as calling forcivil war – than others.4FreedomsAn online discussion forum run by Alan Ayling and “KinanaNadir” to share and distribute articles and views about Islam andthe “fundamental defects in the constructed model of Westernsecular democratic government.”This is the public face of the Ayling/Kinana network.7/7 SocietyA more secretive group of the counter-jihadist scene, the 7/7Society is run by Kinana and holds regular meetings in theHolborn/Chancery Lane area of London.This is the private side of the Ayling/ Kinana network.Law and FreedomA pressure group run by Bristol-based lawyer Gavin Bobythat declares its mission to “promote freedom under law,as we enter more lawless times.” Of course, its sole focusis on Islam and the Muslim community. It has produceda long report claiming that child sex grooming is a directconsequence of Islam and it campaigns to stop the buildingof mosques.Voice UKFormed in April 2014 by Anne Marie Waters and “David Britain”,VOICE stands for Victims of Islamic Cultural Extremism andclaims to “help victims of Muslim grooming gangs, FGM, malevictims of Muslim violence in general, and Muslim women in fearof their male relatives.”Stop Islamisation for Europe (UK)The UK branch of this Europe-wide organisation is weak and lessinfluential than it was a few years ago when Stephen Gash ledit. Today Samantha Herron runs it but newer, more militant CJgroups have usurped its role.Alan AylingGeorge IglerGavin BobyKinana NadirToni BuglePaul Weston30 | THE MUHAMMAD CARTOONS | HOPE not hate
