Islam4UK march off

A CONTROVERSIAL Islamic group last night abandoned plans for an anti-war march through a town where processions for dead British soldiers are held.

Islam4UK provoked anger with a scheme to march through Wootton Bassett in Wiltshire, prompting MPs to urge local authorities and the Home Secretary to step in. But a statement from Anjem Choudary, leader of the group, said they had "successfully highlighted the plight of Muslims in Afghanistan and "no more could be achieved even if a procession were to take place".
