'More needs to be done to stop march of Islamic State terrorists'

By Leicester Mercury  |  Posted: September 08, 2014


A Kurdish community was out in force at the weekend calling for greater support for the armed resistance to Islamic State.
Hundreds of people rallied in the city centre for a demonstration condemning the aggression and atrocities of Sunni Muslim extremists in Iraq and Syria.
The demonstrators, including young children and pensioners, marched along Humberstone Gate to the Clock Tower on Saturday.
Many wore traditional dress, shouting slogans and waving placards and Kurdish flags.
Typical slogans read: "We expect more from the UK", "Islam is peace, not war" and "Peshmerga are our heroes", referring to Kurdish fighters.
The city's 1,000-strong Kurdish community, many of whom came to the UK to escape oppression by former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein in the 1990s, is supporting calls by the Kurdish People's Assembly UK.
It wants the British government and its allies to provide more military hardware to Peshmerga forces in northern Iraq struggling to halt the march of IS (Islamic State) terrorists.
Protest organiser Dara Muhammed, 32, who sought refuge in Leicester as a teenager, said: "We don't want troops on the ground, but we need more military help.
"We are scared for our families in Kurdistan. The Peshmerga are defending them, but need weapons and support."
"We are proud and thankful for the UK for giving us a home and helping in the fight against Isis – but they need to do more.
"If these killers are not defeated, their terrorism could spread around the world."
Thousands of people have been murdered and some 1.5 million displaced since the IS advance across Iraq began.
