Salaam and Good Morning!
Just a humble request to all British readers to please, please, please sign the 'Free Babar Ahmad' petition, if you haven't done so already! His family and friends need 100,000 signatures in order for his case to be taken to Parliament, and now have less than 2 weeks now to reach this goal!
Babar Ahmad has been detained for 7 years without trial, and the US have issued a warrant for his extradition under the controversial 'No Evidence Required' Extradition Act of 2003, so that he stands trial over there. His supporters are rallying together, in a bid to stop the UK Government from extraditing him, so that he may face trial here in the UK, where he is a citizen and where his family resides. They require another 45,000 signatures by 10/11/2011! Please support him and his family.
Imagine if this was your brother/father/husband/uncle, and you were in desperate need of help and people were not pulling their weight?! Imagine how frustrated you would feel right about now, and the state of panic his poor family must be in, knowing only 2 weeks remain to get another 45,000 signatures! If the US succeeds in having Babar Ahmad extradited, he will be detained in a supermax prison in solitary confinement! Just imagine how his family must be feeling and the fear and anxiety that must consume them everyday!
So far, only 55,000 have signed, which is absolutely pitiful considering there are over 2 million Muslims here in the UK! Muslims alone should have reached this target in less than a few days, if they were bothered enough to do so! "A Muslim is the brother of another Muslim. He does not oppress him, nor does he leave him at the mercy of others." [Sahih Muslim].
Muslim, Ahmadi or Atheist...whatever trevor..as long as you're British...anything goes! Sign up! Its about justice; nothing more and nothing less!
