The EDL are a racist, Islamaphobic group of football hooligans & bullies. While it may be true that not all of them are racist many of them are. The EDL have rioted in towns across the UK & have attacked Muslims, usually women. They say that they are "against Islamic extremism" but their actions prove that they are racist and Islamaphobic against all Muslims. They have put a pigs head on a Mosque.
The EDL chant "Burn down Mosques" on their marches. Trevor Kelway has described the Quran as "...a lifestyle manual written by a 7th century peadofile." [He can't even spell].
On the 7th July [7/7] the English Defence League London Division had their EDL anniversary meet up.
Five people turned up.
The message to all anti racists is : Keep up the pressure! Stop the EDL!

More and more people are eginning to realise that:
a) the EDL are racists/nazis/facists = the less rightwing among them are leaving in droves now that that their "we're only opposed to Muslim extremism" bullshit is being proven wrong
b) anti-facist pressure from all communities/political persuasions opposed to these shitbags is beginning to tell.
c) Their leadership are either self serving rich bastards using the EDL for their own ends (Alan Lake) BNP/other nazi scum lieing about their non-involvement or grasses (as in the notorious Sheffield police station incident.)

Are people who protest against Scientology also racist?

Just because most extremist muslims are none white it does not mean that those who protest against them are racist!

The singling out of Islam is suspicious, and conflating the vast majority of Muslims with radical Islamism is plain old fashioned racism.

Other problems include the fact that the EDL, contrary to its propaganda is linked to the BNP, NF, and other racist facists or neo-nazi groups. No not all members of the EDL are that bad, but the links are there. There is also a hell of a lot of casual and generic racism from the EDL toward non extremist Muslims, Asian communities regardless of religious persuasion and non-white communities.
The activities of the EDL are dividing formerly peaceful communities. With a Tory Govt. in charge punishing the poor for the banker's fuck ups and the economic problems, cutting benefits, services etc, working class communities and workforces are facing a fucking tough time. We need to be united in the face of this if we are to achieve any significant victories, the actions of all extremists undermines this, dividing communities and making the Tory scum and capitalist bosses' life easier. Plus the actions of the EDL in demonising Muslims instead of negating the problem of extremism actually pushes Muslims into the arms of the extremists making terrorist attacks etc. all the more likely. What is needed is community cohesion and discussion. The violent, bigotted, beer belllied beligerance of the EDL will only make the problem worse.

As for Trevor Kelway's comments about pedos, it's the pot calling the kettle black so far as the EDL "defending" Christian culture's concerned - in the Bible God required Abraham to prove he was willing to murder his own son as a test of faith. Jerry Lee Lewis married his own cousin when she was 13, and is this hypocritical jerk Kelway even remotely bothered about the thousands of disgusting abuse cases perpetrated by both Catholic and (although to a lesser extent) by Protestant clergy?
