The Islamic Party of
Britain, whilst not considering it viable to put up its own
electoral challenge during the upcoming local and European
elections, is urging all its members and supporters to go for
tactical voting at the ballot box. "Muslims and those who want
to see better community relations should send a clear message to the
'war parties' that they do not act in the name of the people",
said Dr Sahib Bleher, general secretary of the Islamic Party of
Britain. Rather than endorsing a specific party, he advised to
operate a blacklist of those who have promoted the war or damage
inter-faith relations at home, namely Labour, Tories, Liberals (who
were just as swift in endorsing the war once action had started),
The UK Independence Party (who placed Kilroy Silk as their candidate
after he was sacked from the BBC for anti-Arab remarks), and, of
course, the BNP. "By registering a protest vote instead of
abstaining from the elections, we can make a noticeable
difference", he remarked.
