No Trident - Troops out of Iraq
It had been years since I last had gone to a demo. The last one I went to was against the war on Iraq when millions around the Globe took to the streets to protest.
I went straight to Trafalgar Square this time. It was incredible to see so many people exercising their legal right as citizens of a Democracy. One tends to forget the power one holds. When many think the same, it is evident that when the public gets together, people can have a big impact. I wish more people would realise this and stoped living in fear of speaking out and supporting what they feel is right.
It doesn't mean we will achieve what we set out for. I do hope the British government doesn't go ahead and spend £75 BILLION on renewing the Trident missile system or attacking Iran, nevertheless, public discontent was made known.

It is a grave responsibility of the Ahmadis to inform the world of the beautiful aspects of the Prophet’s blessed life. Those who allege that his teachings were excessive and militant should be told of the minute humanitarian details in which he trained his followers in the etiquette of battle, that how civilized and enlightened was his protocol for the prisoners of war
Conversely attention should be drawn to the annihilation of two Japanese cities in World War II, the dreadful effects of which are still being experienced by people and indeed what is being currently perpetrated in Iraq. How would they care to term it?
