A group of British Muslims of Iranian origin, led by Anjem Choudary, is threatening to file a lawsuit before the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.

They allege that Spain’s traditional Holy Week processions are an “offense to Islam” and to the Prophet Muhammad, demanding their immediate ban.

British Muslims will ask the Strasbourg Court to abolish Holy Week in Spain.

The Muslim group intends to sue Spain in Strasbourg over these Catholic processions, with Choudary arguing that these religious events, rooted in Catholic tradition since 1978, are a “provocation” against Muslims.

“It’s an offense to the thousands of Muslims forced to live in secrecy,” declared the leader, known for his history of radical statements. The legal challenge seeks to have Spain suspend these centuries-old celebrations, triggering a strong backlash throughout the country.

In recent years, several European countries have faced similar tensions.

In France, for example, a 2024 report by Le Figaro revealed that Islamist groups attempted to ban Christmas celebrations in public spaces, claiming they “offended” their faith.

In Belgium, Christmas markets were canceled following similar pressures — a move that unsurprisingly sparked massive protests. These cases reveal a troubling pattern: the imposition of cultural restrictions under the guise of “tolerance.”

This case raises serious questions about the limits of multiculturalism in Europe. Should ancient traditions give way to external demands?

The Strasbourg court’s decision could set a dangerous precedent — not only for Spain but for the entire continent.

In the meantime, Spanish society must prepare to defend its cultural heritage and send a very clear message: Holy Week is untouchable.

  1. Islam’s motivation is to subject people to Muslim mastery and force involuntary conversion or death. That is not a religion. It is Nazism written in Bold Letters.

  2. New flash ….

    I could not give a rat’s a*s&s%s what Islam thinks about any of it. If they do not like it they can go home. The government needs to come right out and tell them that. Do not give them one inch. Not one.
