A
coalition of various organisations (Primarily
CND and the
Muslim Association Of Britain) formed on
September 21, 2001 to try to bring a halt to the US-led war on terror and to settle
racist tension brought against
Muslims by this war.
They are well known for their posters, including their most famous "
NOT IN MY NAME" flyer-simply the
phrase "not in my name" in a large bold font. They pulled a coup just before the
War In Iraq began, by amassing millions of people in a huge demonstration against the war, although ultimately this protest had little effect on the
British government's plans.
The group is strongly related to the UK
Socialist Party,
trade unions such as
ASLEF and other such groups.
