EDL Muswell Hill Arson Conspiracy Proven Wrong

Just so we've got a record of this online somewhere, the EDL and Casuals United are saying a report about this on the website of the Tottenham & Wood Green Journal, which originally said the graffiti said "Love and Peace", has been changed to claim the graffiti said "EDL", to put the EDL in the frame for the arson attack. A Google search for the original wording does suggest the original report has been changed, but the EDL & Casuals are distorting what that original report said in the first place.

The original report, which has been screen-grabbed and posted all over the internet by far-right groups, referred to Abdool Ali of Wightman Road Mosque, saying "in Haringey... we had some graffiti, although it just said love and peace". To clarify, the "Love and Peace" graffiti was being referred to as being on the Wightman Road Mosque (London N8 0NA), NOT on the Al-Rahma Islamic Centre in Muswell Hill (London N10 1JS) which was burned down (the earlier version of the report was also up-dated to correct some spelling mistakes).
