The Muslim Defence League are a mirror group of the EDL. They sent an anti white racist threat to the Whitechapel Anarchists Group in June and have posted anti Semitic views on their facebook site. An innocent antifascist photographer was labelled EDL by the MDL who never printed an apology. The MDL is run by Axe Khabir currently of Maida Vale and Foisal Uddin currently of the Barking area of outer London.

The English Defence League are forming splinter groups. Tommy Robinson of Luton expelled key EDL members and some have since formed the North West Infidels, West midlands Infidels and other Infidels groups. John Snowy Shaw from Yorkshire, notorious for scaling a rooftop n Dudley for an EDL demo has left the EDL. He accused Tommy Robinson of taking £160,000 of monies from EDL members. He said that the money was from the EDL clothing and other merchandise. Snowy is involved with forming the new Infidels groups who are concentrated in the north and midlands areas of the UK.

The creation of ties with Jewish groups appears to be a move away from the extreme elements of the right wing of the EDL. The EDL have always had a bond with Zionist groups ie the EDL Jewish division run by Roberta Moore from Brazil. The EDL are set to forge new bonds with Jewish communities as a result of their latest move to protest in favour of Israel. The EDL are also rumoured to be forming ties with the American Tea Party.

The UAF and EDL details for their protests on October 24th are on their respective websites.
