EDL Rooftop Demo at Dudley Mosque site

repost | 03.05.2010 12:06 | Anti-racism | Birmingham

Early this morning the EDL staged a rooftop demo at the site of a proposed mosque where they had a demo just over a month ago. According to The Stirrer, the plan is for the demonstrators to stay for at least a week to show their opposition to the "Islamification to the town". They also claim there are just four people on the roof with a St. Georges flag and an Israeli flag, plus a banner saying "No Mosques"

Here's a first hand account from the The Stirrer's forum:

'The site of the proposed Mosque / commumity / sports centre has turned into a riot zone with 100s or more of white skinhead youths dressed in St George Flag T shirts and various other football type insignia.

They have been rioting outside of my door and all along my street. The violent mobsters with EDL flags have been hand to hand fighting with the riot police -- and running in every direction looking for a fight with Asian youths -- but of whom I saw no sign.

There have been riot police vans in my street and many dozens of riot police streaming out of them

There have been a number of helicopters with searchlights overhead and young white skinhead youths being rounded up and pushed into police vans after being arrested.

I saw no Asian youths at all!

Is this the group that my local councillor (Malcolm Davis) has encouraged to demonstrate agaionst the Mosque?

And is this the law abiding EDL that PV / HH and Arfur trumpet praise for.

My street and area has always been peacful and friendly -- the EDL, encouraged by one of my local councillors, has destroyed that reputation for a generation.

Shame on you all in the EDL or sympathising with it-- and I now believe all those trolling in support of the EDL should be banned from off the Stirrer.

The shouts I heard from the EDL skinhead rioters -- was:

"If you build a Mosque we'll burn it down!". And: "Send all Muslims home!"
