Halloween 2009. I was torn between going Leeds to cover yet another EDL protest and staying in London covering the march for Sharia, led by Muslim extremist
Anjem Choudary. Decision was to stay in London and see the other side, the extreme Muslims.
However, the march for Sharia was called off last minute by
Islam4UK organization. Even though it was called off, few organizations, right-wing English groups
the English Democrats and
March For England along with
moderate Muslims group British Muslims for Secular Democracy, still turned up at Piccadilly Circus to show their opposition to
Sharia law.
Sitting on the steps of the Eros statue I spotted a familiar face.
Vaclav Havel, the first democratic president of the Czech Republic after the
Velvet Revolution (Wiki link) in 1989 which meant the end of communist era in Eastern Europe. Very random seeing him amongst those two groups not knowing what's happening before I explained the whole situation to him. That was the highlight of my Halloween 2009.
