The "procession" was also led by Shaykh Sayyid Munawwar Husayn of Birmingham who is the grandson of one of the three greatest scholars of Pakistan, Pir Sayyid Jama`at Ali Shah al-Muhaddith Alipuri of Alipur Sharif. There was also Sayyid Mazhar Shah who is the son-in-law of the great shaykh, Pir Sayyid Abdul-Qadir Shah Jilani. There were also scholars from Jama`at-e-Ahle-Sunnat and Markazi Jama`at-e-Ahle-Sunnat. From the photos it also shows people garbed in the Iranian flag so it seems that Shi`ahs were there too. Islam channel, which is mainly Salafi and Tablighi controlled showed the event live on their channel. However, after the brother who is the main presenter took the mike, he stopped viewing the nashids that were sung at Trafalgar Square. He also didn't take a close shot at the Salams recited at the end in Hyde Park - the famous Mustafa Jaan-e-Rahmatu Pe Lakho Salam, written by Imam al-Hind Mawlana ash-Shah Ahmad Rida Khan al-Barelwi. He and the Tablighi molvi of Croydon mosque stayed away from the croud during that period but came running to interview the organisers once the salams had finished. They tried to make out as though they were the organisers but the truth was obvious. Ma`as-salama This is a nice account of Sundays protest with excellent photos.

Apart from Fais Siddiqui - the other key organisers were IHRC and Hizb ut-Tahrir.

I wish I went now :( The first demo was somewhat more 'controlled' then this one. I expected there would have been more people at the first but even when it was packed -around 2pm ish, I still had room to roam around the Square. Anyways thanks for the pics! Salam,
