The messages, posted on buildings and lampposts close to Shoreditch gay nightspots George & Dragon and the Joiners Inn, say “Arise and warn. Gay free zone. Verily Allah is severe in punishment.”

They have also been posted on Whitechapel High Street and outside a school.

Pictures of the stickers were sent in by a local resident, who said he tried to remove them.

He told PinkNews.co.uk: “Tower Hamlets council won praise from Stonewall for its LGBT friendliness, but these stickers are a warning that Islamist extremists in Tower Hamlets have not gone away from London’s streets.

“According to police figures, a homophobic crime is committed in Tower Hamlets at the rate of more than five a month.”

The resident suggested that they may have been posted by members of Islam4UK, which has been accused of being a front for the banned Al Mahajaroun Group.

Gay rights campaigner Peter Tatchell said: “There have been a series of homophobic threats and assaults by Asian youths on LGBT people in the East End over recent years.

“I’ve been attacked by Muslim youths three times in and around Brick Lane. In all three attacks, the assailants shouted religious slogans. My LGBT Muslim friends who live in the area are nervous and anxious. They fear attack and dare not reveal their sexuality.”

The East London Mosque, based in Whitechapel, and the Muslim Council of Britain did not respond to requests for comment.

OKAY SO GET THE **** OUT OF OUR COUNTRY

PREACH SIS.

a shame

Pathetic . I've been there before.

Certain Islamic organizations are holding the world from progressing.

was there 2 and a half years ago. YOU ARE LATE! DEAL.

I want one of these stickers! I'd wear it inappropriately all day just to piss the anti-gays off.

But that is really insane that people are still that ignorant. It's 2011, not the 1800s. They need to grow up.

These belong need to be departed back to where they belong if they hate GAY soo much. Why not go live in Iraq where the entire country is homophobic?

246

!!!

and it's not just some islamic organizations that are doing it.

The majority of people from Teh Middle East r soo fcking homophobic. This bitch almost burst ma lips open once cause I joked about him being gay. Like I don't why he got soo offended because ppl here do it all the time. I just at him getting all heated over me saying "you're soo gay".

Wow that is some ****ed up ****

I know, sis. I recently dated somebody originally from the Middle East, and their parents/family could not find out they were gay, or else they risked being killed in an "honor killing" (you'll have to look it up). But it's really bad, and I can't believe it's that big of a deal to them.

see this **** right here is ridiculous. and no i don't have to respect their views and beleifs. I don't respect peoples beleifs when they are discriminatory in nature and just hateful!!

**** like this is part of the reasons that I don't have the balls to come out.


N I just can't at the fact that parents would proudly kill their children over them being gay. those homophobic countries probably already banned lady gaga Born This Way song from their countries.

Agreed. People should be allowed to live their life however they please, as long as it isn't harmful to others, of course. I don't understand why religious families (especially Muslim, Arab, etc.) are so against their children doing what makes them happy and "leaving" the religion. I have absolutely nothing against those people, I just think they're unfair.

It isn't so bad for "regular" people like us that live in America. Normally families are completely fine with it.

I know, it's ridiculous. While most people don't hear many stories of honor killings, they're still somewhat popular in America. There were these 2 girls I heard about that got murdered by their father because he didn't agree with them talking to boys that didn't belong to their race and religion. It's very sad that the world is still so hateful.

Disgusting

If you don't like it, go back to your own country :hey****you:

On most circumstances Im imigrant friendly, but bitch you in danger if you gonna tell me who's dick I can and cannot suck!
