ANTI-TERROR RALLY IN SCOTLAND – SATURDAY JULY 7, 2007 Title: Scotland United Against Terror Date: 7 July 2007 – 7 July 2007 Start time: 0900ET (14:00Local) End time: 1300ET (18:00Local) Venue: George Square – Glasgow, Scotland Summary: Muslims to rally against terror Description: Mosques and Islamic organisations in Glasgow have called for a rally on Saturday to demonstrate their resolve against terrorism. It will take place one week after the Glasgow Airport attack, with it also being the second anniversary of the July bombings. They are inviting everyone in Scotland to take part, under the title “Scotland United Against Terror”. Faith leaders, churches, trade unionists and others in civic society have been invited to attend, while Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has confirmed she will speak. Commenting, Osama Saeed, one of the organisers said: “The incident (today) in Riddrie [someone backed a car into an Asian shop and set it on fire] underscores the need to emphasise community cohesion at this point. “We have a simple equation facing us. We have the terrorists on one side, and the rest of Scotland against them on the other – whether they be Muslim, Christian, people of other faiths or none. We mustn’t start accusing people of being terrorists when they plainly aren’t.”
