English Defence League V Muslim Defence League London rally October 42th

The English Defence League are protesting in support of Israel on October 24th. The anti Semitic Muslim Defence League are also likely to show for this protest as will the Muslim Defence League United We Stand Divided We Fall [SWP].

http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2010/10/464466.html] All anti racists should attend to oppose the fascists outside the Israeli Embassy October 24th

The EnglisH Defence League are an Islamophobic group who are supposed to be against extremism but have also turned their attention against Muslim youth. The MDL are showing signs of extremism and anti Semitism.

Anti fascists are likely to oppose both the EDL and the MDL.

Details for the EDL protest are on the EDL poster

Islamophobic?????

How can they be Islamophobic if they confront radical muslims? Phobia means you are frightened of something and run away from it. I have yet to see the EDL run away from anything yet! If they are Islamophobic does that mean you people are nationalophobic because you hate nationalism? I am fed up of incorrect use of the English Language!

phobia doesn't refer exclusively to fear, it means 'fear or hatred' specifically an irrational fear or hatred, if you think that you need to go round intimidating muslims because you fear that shariah law in britain is just around the corner - then thats a case in point, isn't it? Irrational fear and hatred of muslims = islamophobia. Its not English either it's Greek. However a morer appropriate tag for the edl is fascist: scapegoating working class minorities while trumpeting imperialism = fascist.

Islamophobics fear the imposition of an Islamic state

14.10.2010 20:48

They may not fear Muslims individually, but they certainly (unjustly IMHO) fear the imposition of an Islamic state in this country.

And what's with the Christian cross in the EDL logo? Are all those football hooligans and neo-Nazis really closet Bible-bashers? I'm certainly Christianophobic, I fear Christian interference in the state (which exists already). How come you get some of the Archbishops sitting in the House of Lords?

Sunday trading laws

The Sunday trading laws, created because of Christian influence in this country are a big pain in the arse. Imagine if all the religions had such infleunce ie no trading during Friday prayers or on a Sunday....

EDL trying to trick British Muslims

18.10.2010 12:12

The EDL are trying to trick British Muslims into displaying banners that support terrorist groups and advocate Sharia outside the Israeli embassy, so the EDL can legitimise the victimisation of British Muslims. When the EDL / SIOE protested against Harrow Mosque, Jewish councillor Jeremy Zeid SUPPORTED Harrow Mosque -

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MH-8Y2Sr_K8

"Leading members of Harrow's Jewish community have joined together to condemn anti-Muslim campaigners who are planning a protest in the borough this weekend. Rabbis Aaron Goldstein, Hillel Athias-Robles, Kathleen Middleton, Frank Dabba Smith, and Michael Hilton have signed a letter offering unequivocal SUPPORT for the borough's Muslim community" -

Sensible Jews know full-well that EDL campaigns against Halal will soon turn into campaigns against Kosher

Peace Signs

18.10.2010 15:12
