The fascist organisation, the Scottish Defence League, intend to come to Perth on September 10th to protest against the building of a new mosque within the city.

Several organisations and local residents have joined together under the collective name of Perth Against Racism and are speaking out against this blatant display of hatred being imposed on us.

The "SDL" have insulted the intelligence of the people of Perth thinking that we are stupid enough to believe that they are coming here to champion on our behalf about parking spaces!

It is clear, however, that their real aim is to scapegoat and to provoke Muslims, in order to divide and isolate them from wider society. This is part of their programme of incitement against religious and ethnic minorities generally, as they had attempted earlier this year in Wishaw and Alloa.

We call upon the good people of Perth from all walks of life to open their hearts and stand together to show that we are a welcoming, modern and multicultural city.

We also ask that you sign and share this petition, to show your opposition to the presence of fascism on our streets.
