Do you think, though, that the number of protestors might be a glimmer of hope?

Luton is a fairly high-density Muslim community and is considered to be one of the most worrying areas in the UK in terms of extremist agitation. Hizb ut-Tahrir have had meetings there, too.

The fact that there were 20 young men means that almost everyone in their community stayed away. That's got to be a poke in the eye for their esteemed leaders, no?

I do applaud the Council and Mayor Lakhbir Singh - they must have realised that the parade might be deemed contentious to some members of the community but they went ahead with it. Given the politically correct, health and safety lunacy that prevails amongst so many authorities, many would have cancelled.
