Plans by Islam4uk to parade symbolic empty coffins through Wootton Bassett should be cancelled.

Whilst I am concious that there have been many deaths amongst muslim insurgents it is important that this nation can show respect and honour our fallen. And the now familiar parade through Wootton Bassett of the repatriated fallen servicemen has become a focal point of that need as a nation.

So I sincerely hope that the leaders of the Islamic group in question re-think these plans and consider other ways of raising awareness of the numbers killed in this conflict. In a war situation many are killed, many are injured and disfigured, including many innocents, most people are very aware of this.

If they go ahead with this planned parade they will be insulting the repatriation of those that gave everything in the service of this nation. Whilst they will undoubtedly get media coverage, I doubt it would be the kind of coverage that would make a positive contribution and it could further damage relations with muslims in Britain.

Make your protests elsewhere and in the meantime join the people of Wootton Bassett in honouring the fallen the next time there is a repatriation procession through the town.
