Rania Khan - Respect conference 2007

Cllr Rania Khan, Tower Hamlets

Rania said that she wanted to explain why she, Oliur Rahman, Lutfa Begum and Ahmed Hussain had resigned the Respect whip on Tower Hamlets Council. This had been a very painful decision and not taken lightly. She denied that John Rees, National Secretary had urged them to do so, on the contrary, he had urged them to stay and fight from within.

She outlined some of the events that had made staying in the Respect group intolerable. These included threatening behaviour, intimidation of women at meetings and a failure to campaign for the core policies of Respect.

erm...it would be nice to see how muslims get along staying out of politics hence out of society. In Islam also said that when you are in another mans land it is fardh that you abide by their laws and legislations as long as they do not contradict the Fardh of Islam....so you know.........abit more research on the part of those critisizing.

You should be mocked, your a fool for thinking that you are allowed in Islam to be part of Respect or even under the leadership of Cat Woman!! Work For Shariah!! As a muslim you can not go against the Shariah and groups like respect are very clear that they don't want Shariah.

[GroundShaking101]

There is another system that you could work for, a system that is perfect in everyway, a system just is just in everyway to every person, THE SHARIAH!!!
