Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamaah (Arabic: أهل السنة والجماعة; lit. Adherents to the Sunnah and the community; abbr. ASWJ) was an Islamist group in London.
History[edit]
Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jammah was founded on 18 November 2005, in north London by Sulayman Keeler.[1] He called Queen Elizabeth II an enemy of Islam and Muslims.[1] In February 2006, ASWJ helped organize the Islamist demonstration outside Danish Embassy in London in 2006.
In December 2006, ASWJ issued a call on one of its websites for Muslims to fight the Ethiopian attack against the Islamic Courts Union in Somalia "financially, physically and verbally". On 10 March 2009, ASWJ demonstrated in the town to protest against the Royal Anglian Regiment's homecoming parade following the latter's posting in Afghanistan.[2] The demonstration was a deliberately provocative publicity stunt, and had been disowned by representatives from Luton's Islamic communities.[3] The protest, although small, attracted media attention, generating anger that the authorities had given the demonstration permission and police protection.[4]
