The Muslim Defence League and anti Jewish racism.

Rachel Cohen | 07.10.2010 09:19 | Anti-racism | Culture | Repression | South Coast | World

The Muslim Defence League have said that they are 'defending all races & religion.' They have said that they are 'sick of racism from the EDL.' Their defence of 'all races & religion' does not extend to Jews. A number of anti Jewish posts have appeared on the MDL page & are not being removed. The MDL cannot claim to 'defend all races & religions' while stating that Jews should die & bark like dogs'.




The anti Jewish extremists who are collaborating with the Muslim Defence League are not being questioned on their anti Semitism. They are writing with unquestioned and unashamed hatred and racism towards Jews. MDL members have said that 'Jews should die' and 'Jews bark like dogs' on the MDL facebook page. Anyone reading it might well wonder if they have wandered onto a Combat 18 facebook site in error. The Muslim Defence League was started up by a man named [removed] who seperated from the original Socialist Worker Party Muslim Defence League run by Richard Seymour to start the Muslim Defence League, a seperate London based group using the same name. While there are no anti Semitic posts found in the SWP run MDL group there have been anti Semitic statements posted on theLondon MDL site. Unwitting and well meaning supporters should ask themselves why they are supporting a group that asks for the defence of Muslims but writes death threats and racist comments against Jews.
