From Frontpagemag.com:
Members of two British gay rights groups were attacked when they attempted to participate in a demonstration for Palestinian rights.
OutRage and Queer Youth Alliance went to the protest march at Trafalgar Square to show their support for people of Palestine. But they also urged the Palestinian Authority to halt the arrest, torture and murder of homosexuals.
As soon as they arrived at the square to members of the two groups were surrounded by an angry, screaming mob of Islamic fundamentalists, Anglican clergymen, members of the Socialist Workers Party, the Stop the War Coalition, and officials from the protest organizers, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC).
They variously attacked the gay activists as "racists", "Zionists", "CIA and MI5 agents", "supporters of the Sharon government" and accused the gays of "dividing the Free Palestine movement".
PSC organisers asked the gay activists to "stand at the back of the demonstration", and when they refused blocked their placards with their own banners and shouted down the gay campaigners as they tried to speak to journalists and other protesters.
I think this goes to show just how little many on the left actually know about the Islamic causes they support. They don't realize the hatred and intolerance that exists among the ranks.
Now if only these protesters could have realized that the majority of the conflict between the Palestinians and the Israelis exists because of Palestinian intolerance for Jews. Perhaps this show of intolerance toward gays will set them on the path to that realization.
Somehow I doubt it though.
