Blackburn: Proposal to ban noisy Eid celebrations

Noisey Eid celebrations that take over' a part of a town should be banned, a councillor has claimed.


Coun Sajid Ali said revellers descended on Whalley Range, Blackburn from across the North West for the bi-annual celebrations, making life a misery' for residents.


The Bastwell Lib Dem called for measures to prevent the influx in future, which he said caused a traffic nightmare' in Randall Street and Whalley Range and intimidated locals.


Salim Mulla, senior vice chairman of Lancashire Council of Mosques, said he was aware of the issue but said banning people coming from other towns was "a bit extreme."


Police promised to work with residents worried about anti-social behaviour but said only a "small minority" were irresponsible.


But Coun Ali said young people from as far afield as Bradford and Halifax were blocking traffic by crawling along the streets in their high-performance cars.


He called for measures to be put in place by December's Eid celebrations.

In the civilized world a permit is required in order to hold a festival. How does getting a permit = banning people from other towns? They can't stop them from coming, but they can keep them from congregating in the street and they can arrest anyone who violates a noise ordinance, you know, as they do any day in any civilized society. What a surprise that someone named Salim Mulla would have neither any concept of nor any regard for the laws of a civilized society. Rather, he wants to cut the throats of animals in the street like a barbarian while shouting Allaxxxxxxxxx-hu Axxxxxxxxxbaxxxxxxxxxx!. Where is the sense of shame in Muslm communities? Aren't they embarrassed by what they do? They should be. This just proves the extent to which Muslims have inbred themselves.
