Skashion, I'm not racist but I won't just sit there and allow people to talk nonsense when both sides are as bad as each other. The EDL like you described are the same as the UAF, both have racist backgrounds and if we could put them all on a desert island somewhere we would live in a better place. But when the UAF have banners like in previous pages on this topic about our soldiers etc, that is a disgrace and is not right. Look at the Pastor Terry Jones. He was banned from this country as he was having a burn a Koran day back in the USA, yet we allow some Muslims to go around this country with the attitude they do and they think it's ok to have posters etc saying they hope "all British soldiers must die". Talk about double standards, this is why there is so much racial tension around. The government were right to ban the American guy but they allow this to happen?
Think most people in this thread have said Islamofascists are as bad, far worse in my view in an ideological sense, as the EDL but the EDL are the ones holding rallies to provoke people now which rightly makes people see they are the ones are fault. If it was purely a counter-protest movement I think you'd see a different opinion. As it would if they used different means to achieve their supposed objectives. However, like I said, it's just a bunch of football hooligans looking for a fight using democratic protections. So they are scum. It isn't double standards Rick. What you must realise is that unfortunately most of these Islamofascists are British. We can't ban them as we can't ban the EDL, unfortunately again, they tend to be British. Not that I agree with banning Pastor Terry Jones anyway. I'm one of the few in this country that supports freedom of speech and expression.
