“Pigs are Haram!” Undercover Police Confronted on May Day

by BayAreaIntifada and WeCopwatch
This past May Day, autonomous/anarchist people of color held a contingent of about 75 people within the Sin Fronteras’ Immigrant Solidarity march. Although the contingent had a clear non-reformist and unapologetic stance about immigration, they spent the day in solidarity with those struggling against unjust labor and immigration policies.

The mood of the march was joyous and celebratory. During the march, two Muslim anarchists spotted large men who seemed out of place and were paying too much attention to the group. One cop was snapping photos of the Muslims within the contingent. Demonstrating proper Addab (Islamic etiquette), the Muslim anarchists confronted the men who were clearly undercover police, stopped them from taking photos, and with the support of the rest of the autonomous/anarchist contingent sent them on their way with chants of “Pigs Out!” and “Pigs are Haraam!” Embarrassed and exposed, the two undercover officers slipped away through the crowds watching the spectacle.

a multiracial person can be ticked off at these black and other minority cops doing their fascist deeds. a multiracial can also be offended by black athletes homophobia. these black and minority cops do not like multiracials. they always do the deeds of their ''white'' overseers. a multiracial who risked life for all people, only to find these black and minority cops doing this. it will cause people to speak to people more about what police state is doing.

I am a little puzzled by some activists being referred to as '' Muslim Anarchists ''. Yeah Anarchists certainly be of Muslim descent but are you saying they're practicing Muslims ?
If so that certainly seems to be a BIG contradiction !
