Another good place to post messages of support for Dr Naseem is on the website of the B'ham Central Mosque, www.centralmosque.org.uk which features articles about Dr Naseem and a chance to post comments.
He has chosen to post a long letter of solidarity I wrote to him which also explains about the 9-11 truth movement and also www.julyseventh.co.uk and www.officialconfusion.com
Sukhvinder and I visited the mosque on 15 Aug and had useful a wideranging discussion with Dr Naseem. Dr Naseem has received good support from the mosque but in due course the Labour machine in B'ham could engineer his removal unless we can speedily re-inforce this Normandy beach-head of mainstream public truth!
That means sending messages of support (read the mosque's site first) and getting other organisations including Muslim, Interfaith and general civil liberties orgs to also send messages; also it means sending him dvds, literature, etc.

Two quotes: 'It is becoming clear that some very highly placed forces in this country want the Muslims out, and after us it would be the Sikhs probably.' ... 'If we Muslims have to leave, then we will survive somewhere else, but what kind of society would be left in the UK?'

Who are those two quotes from, Keith? Dr Naseem?

Yes, things he said as we talked.
I should also have reported that on Sunday 14th Aug (I think) the News of the World had run a story about 500 islamic extremists to be deported and 2000 to be checked out, along with a photo of Dr Naseem. Likewise I had seen a TV programme about Islam and extrmeism which had featured a number of genuine extremists (and some secret-service-backed ones too so far as I understand) along with an interview with Dr Naseem on the one hand (bad Muslim) and an imam in Luton saying how they had pushed politics out of the mosque (good Muslim).
So any Muslim who stands for their faith to connect to real life (inc politics) - as Xians have done e.g. over apartheid and poverty - is liable to be branded an extremist and deported in the future.
Dr Naseem is completely against suicide bombing, and was suspicious about the way that suicide bombing multiplied in Israel/Palestine after Sheik Hassan of Hamas had been unexpectedly let out of jail by the Isaelis, so was interested to learn of Israel's original role in setting Hamas up.
