Britain’s escalating extremism

that's very scary if it came true...

"muslims blow themselves up"

alright this says alot about the knowledge of Tommy and his mates. Muslim and Salafi or extemist are completely different terms. I cannot believe the first ones to comment are the same ones that have absolutely no knowledge of Islam whatsoever. So this EDL is right for defending English values on the English soil because England is a land of Christian people with Christian values and those who disagree with this should leave the country. Just like those who disagree with the fact the whole island of Ireland is a Catholic land with Catholic values and its Catholic community is RIGHT to defend their soil from foreign invadors (no matter how long the invader has been staying in the country).

Give this a thought.

to me its like having given asylum/new,better life to many and then they start telling you how you have to live.

EDL members are certainly not part time bums and you are correct we are all patriotic defenders of our Queen and Country who are opposing a growing threat from within. It is the UAF that are the fascists because they are the ones with the radical and authoritarian idealogy and their view is the only view.

They try to repress critiscism or See More opposition to their views, Fascist don't you think. EDL are not BNP and therefore the analogy of EDL and Hitler's SA is laughable to the extreme and just goes to show how far these idiots will go to try and denigrate the EDL who they know are increasing in numbers daily and are now something to be very worried about. It's like little kids name calling the EDL "racist"

The UAF's priority is not to oppose fascism. The UAF
is an extreme-left organisation that wants a revolution to overthrow what's left of our Christian-based society. Basically they want to create a new version of the USSR in Britain. To achieve their aims, the UAF will ally with any group that wants to overthrow the current order, even if that group wants a very different kind of society. This is why you see the UAF and other extreme left groups around Europe making an alliance with Islam.

EDL could have saved itself a lot of hastle by protesting against the people that are allowing this to happen ie, LIB LAB CON.
Next of all EDL need to study what Islam actually is before protesting against one part of it.
The goal of Islam is the same whether done by extremists or moderates.

Hey, good reporting - the first time I've heard of the EDL. Your reporters' sub-text exposes the dilemma, freedom of speech is all very well. However, it should perhaps be limited when the political cause espoused ultimately would deny the very freedom it exploits. If only the Weimar Government had been able to deny the NAZIs' a platform.

Good on the EDL. A non racist organisation standing up for our culture in the face of vicious, bigoted, sexist Islamic extremism, which the authorities allow to spread unchecked. The EDL are exactly what the country needs.

I thought journalism was all about being impartial? How can you interview Anjem Choudary, without interviewing the edl? You need to interview both side's of this coin before putting out statement's like this. For a start, how can you possible infer that the violence at some of the edl's protest's were caused by the burka's on the hoodies that some of the edl members wear? What a stupid statement to make, how did you come to that conclusion? That's like saying, if an edl member attacked a Muslim woman wearing a burka, then it was the burka that was the reason for the woman being attacked! Do a bit research before writting your story's, then you might get a bit nearer the truth. Everyone whose had anything to do with these demonstration's, know's the violence was caused by uaf/antifa members trying to attack the edl members, which usualy resulted in the police coming under attack when they couldn't get to the edl member's. At Luton, several police were injured after coming under attack from 2-300 asian youths, who threw bricks and bottle's at the police. This was two hour's after the protest had ended, and all edl members had left the area.
You say, "such as the level of tolerence in the UK, that both side's, will be allowed to have their say". For a start, the Musim extremist's have been allowed to have their say, as our spineless goverment, who allows these democratic, free speach hating cavemen, are terrified to stop them, as the threat of thousands of Muslim suicice bombers hitting our street's, is a very real threat. The political corectness is this country, has allowed these militents to flourish, unchecked.What is being kept from the public, through the goverment controlled media, is this isn't just happening in England, there is the sdl(Scotland), wdl(Wales), and udl(Ireland). There is also branches being set up in parts of America,Europe and Australia. The world is starting to organise themselve's into deffence league divisions, to fight against Islamic extremism, and lets hope we're not too late!!
