***Apologies in advance for the lengthy message***
A quick, simple message advising what is likely to happen from a traditional Muslim political perspective in the UK if we vote LEAVE:
•Cameron will be forced to resign (we all dislike him but he is the lesser of two evils compared to Johnson)
•Johnson wins the Tory leadership contest to become new PM for the next 3/4 years with an extreme right wing government that unites under him http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/if-leave-wins-on-thursday-prime-minister-boris-would-hold-an-early-election-a7088151.html
• The Muslim hating Michael Gove becomes his right hand man and potential future PM
•New British Bill of Rights is introduced which is no doubt very anti-muslim and removes the parts of the human rights act which protects Muslims
•The general public in the UK will easily become more right wing including the parts of the Far Right who will be more prominent in major parties
•UKIP will have a great chance of winning seats in future General Elections with safe Labour seats under serious threat
•A Tory/UKIP coalition is far more likelier in government...And we will be looking at a lifetime of Tory or Tory/UKIP governments for many many years
•Blairites will use the EU as an excuse (along with others) to try to remove Corbyn
•Scotland will no doubt breakaway from UK giving Labour even less chance of winning any General Elections
• Would be very difficult to have the electoral ability to change current MPs for the betterment for Muslims under the current first past the post system due to all above
•Palestine will be a forgotten issue under Johnson as we know who's side he is on https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/nov/11/boris-johnson-forced-cancel-palestinian-events-pro-israel-remarks
*NB*: The EU has done more for Palestine than UK (eg: illegally occupied lands labelling)
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
*CONCLUSION* = Life for Muslims in this country will be more and more difficult with a LEAVE vote
There are genuine arguments for a LEAVE vote from a Muslim perspective as the EU is far from perfect...however taking all the above into account it is quite clear to *REMAIN* in the EU is the lesser of two evils!
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
It is very important that people *GO OUT AND VOTE* tomorrow *TO REMAIN IN THE EU!*
May Allah (swt) guide us all in making the correct decision, and May Allah (swt) take this country on a route that is best for Islam.
*Aameen*.
