Two parades in One: Â Muslim segregation for a parade in London – wrong?
Central London was brought to a complete standstill on Wednesday after Shia Muslims held a segregated religious march down London’s main shopping street.
The event was segregated by gender, with men leading the way down Oxford Street with a sea of veiled women following behind.
It was held to mark Ashura day, part of the month of Muharram – the second holiest time in the Islamic calendar when the violent death of the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad is remembered.
According to the Evening Standard, placards read, “Terrorism has no religion†and “men and women are equal in Islamâ€.

Firenze Sage: Â I remember when an order to go to the back of the bus(parade) was unconstitutional and wrong.
