FabSwingers.com forum: EDL and the USDL

By (user no longer on site) OP

I've just been on facebook and a friend of mine has liked a picture from the USDL (United states defense league)

It's a picture of Tommy Robinson (The leader of the EDL) The quote says

"9/11 was our fault, 7/7 was our fault, there's been 17000 terrorist attacks since September 11th, I guess they're are fault, I guess the last 1,4000 years of history, where Islam's been at war with non-Islam, is our fault. It's ridiculous . We're not the cause. The root cause of the problem is the Koran, it's Islam"

There's hundreds of comments agreeing with him on the subject as well. What are other peoples views on the EDL and USDL. Personally, I think their a bunch of lunatics and there hatred of other races is no different to other races hatred towards them

and also, 17000 terrorist attacks since 9/11? That's about 3-4 terrorist attacks a day since then

"in some ways I kind of agree with them"

You can't deny there is a problem with terrorists. But these clowns have been setting fire to mosques, holding rallys which have turned violent, even fought with the police the day Lee Rigby was killed. Any further then they'll be terrorists themselves

Anything or anyone that promotes mob mentality, influences by illogical facts and fear is a step backwards in humanity's goal of progressing forward.

The EDL are doing more harm than good, nothing but racist thugs hiding behind the thin veil of an issue that many people are worried about. They exploit every incident perceived or real for their own gain. Just look at their disgusting behaviour at the site of the Lee Rigby murder! The sooner they disappear up their own uneducated backsides the better.

don't believe everything you hear in the media, in one instance regarding a mosque getting set on fire, 2 muslim men were arrested and charged with it, there's lunatics in every walk of life, not just the edl, there's far more muslim extremists in this country than any other race or religious extremists, the uk government have bent over backwards trying to appease Muslims this is why their is a rise of the far right in the uk and all over Europe as well, some agree with the edl and far right politics and some don't, each to their own.

Any radical extremist group is only ever as successful as long as it can hoodwink the less intelligent in society who choose to swallow the utterly biased diatribe they preach..

they are intent on dividing folk and as long as the vast majority of all cultures, creeds, colours and beliefs see them for what they are they will remain a tiny misguided minority..

we as people of all colours etc etc have far more in common with each other than these spouters of vile hatred can accept..

that's what frightens them, that despite its faults as a society in this country we are an example of people living together..

with respect and tolerance..

You will have people who agree openly, or agree behind closed doors. When you have this sort of behavior, you know that the ideals that were fought for in blood, are gone! There are people who disagree too, but I find them in the minority.

I'm not an EDL fan, why? because our political class has failed, and very badly. What now? Well, by vilifying groups that wanted change, and people, all that you are doing is side lining them more and more. You'll end up with these people turning away from democracy and eventually doing something about it, not with the pen but with the sword - so to speak.

When terrible things happen around the World, some times it is because of seriously messed up individuals, either acting alone or apart of a group. But, you always have to ask yourself "cui bono" - who benefited?

Anyway, that's enough from me. I gave up giving a damn. More important things to deal with. If shit hits the fan, i'll be there not hiding my head in the sand.

What exactly are they defending ? We have an army, navy, air force and police service to defend our country following proprtionate and necessary.....oh and lawful practices ?

Perhaps they're defending us from johnny foreigners.....those terrible sorts who fought to defend our skies as polish pilots etc, the brave Indian regiments in Burma, and so on.

Get real, the threat is from criminals not a religion or race. Yes there are extremist Muslims but there's a hell of a lot of other horrible sorts from other cross sections.

How about these brave Edl morons go out and tackle and deter crime....or better still get over to middle east and fight it on the frontline. Oh sorry forgot, they don't have true balls...probably don't get meets either.....and breathe.

Sorry. I have to disagree. The EDL are people who are fed up, people with warped minds (as you say) and all sorts of others. This is what happens when you ignore them or try to have people lose their jobs etc etc because their views do not match yours. Who is the fascist then? The very people who attempt to stamp on you because your view of things differ.

When people bring race in to, I tend to find them the hypcorites. I couldn't care less whether it was all White, Black or Purple! It's ironic, because you do have groups specifically for other races but not whites. Anyway, again, couldn't give a damn.

Why does it matter if the EDL were all white? So that they can be accused of racism etc etc? Well, they still are even though they have members from all racial backgrounds amongst their ranks.

whites within the edl stand shoulder to shoulder with different "races" and they are still racist?? Lol you make me laugh, not all edl members will be racist, there just sick of the way this country treats their citizens and the way they try and appease the muslim extremist,

how about the black police association? They must be racist as no non black members are allowed

muslim council of Britain, only Muslims allowed as members, racist? You try and push through a group for whites only and there would be outrage by this government and them Muslim extremists would be out on the streets protesting/rioting, blame the government for all of this, their policies etc are to blame for the rise of the far right.

""9/11 was our fault, 7/7 was our fault, there's been 17000 terrorist attacks since September 11th, I guess they're are fault, I guess the last 1,4000 years of history, where Islam's been at war with non-Islam,

It's these kind of made up numbers that are used by extremist groups that number of attacks equates to 3.9 attacks per day.

I am sort of guessing from the misplaced comma that it's 1,400 years not 14,000 which would possibly equate to the Crusades, which were actually started by Pope Urban II in 1095, and lasted about 200 years, the Catholics basically lost that one but that was actually only 917 years ago.

Still why let a few facts get in the way of generating hate and escalating personal agenda's hey... after all politicians do it all the time

EDL are exactly the same as Muslim fundamentalists, miss-using and often completely made up information to pull supporters to their cause, the extremes of both are terrorists trying to control the mass population through intimidation and fear.

I agree... but wont happen. You have the IRA in parliament now - don't care what people say, they are. I only found this out a couple of weeks ago, a few Taliban officials walking the halls of our parliament! If you want heard, i think you have to fight for it!

No government will ever please all of the people all of the time, so it's right to say that some will see some of their policies as a reason to be unhappy..

but ignorance, intolerance and many other factors are also relevant too..

Sorry. But, I can't agree.

Islamists are far far more dangerous, yet... Mr Hague and Mr Cameron are supporting them (regardless of what they say, they are). To be brief, Libya's largest Islamist group that spearheaded against Gaddafi and the one in Syria, both groups that have committed unbelievable acts! Both these groups, are what makes up the opposition. Wouldn't be surprised if many of their fighters are responsible for killing our soldiers in Afghanistan.

Anyway... I don't agree.

the edl, bnp, nf, and all the other right wing groups will never get a foothold in British politics, they will always be around though, same as muslim extremism, it will never go away, peaks and troughs spring to mind, the nf has councillors in the 80/90's, 2000's it was the bnp's turn, nearly 200 councillors i think at 1 time, now only a handful and 1 MEP, next its ukip's turn, slightly watered down version of the bnp, you will never fully eradicate peoples views and beliefs

Yes. Many states have had their fingers burnt but, all the time? No. They do it openly, and because they think that their untouchable. (Tony Blair is one)

Indeed, business. That is what runs our 'elected' governments.

You don't agree with what exactly?

The fact that 3.92 terrorist attacks per day since 2001 is an exaggerated number? or that 1400 years ago is 500 years before the actual crusade's started?

Only two facts given in the OP's thread and both clearly lies with the intent of spreading fear and boosting recruits.

The exact same technique used to recruit ordinary Muslims into the fundamentalist extremist groups.

I don't actually disagree with you on the Western politicians role in causing the problems in the middle east, after all it was the USA that wanted the Shah of Persia removed to open up the country's oil, created Iran oops! so they supported a Mr Hussein in his bloody rise to the top in Iraq, to counter the mess they made next door, then they supported the Taliban in Afghanistan against the Russians.

Western Governments have subjugated the people by fear for generations, anyone noticed how the terrorists were no problem until the Cold War with Russia ended? or is it just the conspiracy theorist in me

Can't blame EDL for using a tried and trusted method of recruiting, but it doesn't make them right...

Why does it matter if the EDL were all white? So that they can be accused of racism etc etc? Well, they still are even though they have members from all racial backgrounds amongst their ranks.

how about the black police association? They must be racist as no non black members are allowed

Someone who thinks like i do.

You don't agree with what exactly?

Sorry, but the EDL or other like groups do not follow a bible/holy book. They also do not have Imam's going all over the place recruiting openly and freely. If they do have camps, I'd be very surprised. However, I hear the extreme Christian groups in the States have camps :D

That's fine if you don't agree with my view about our politicians involvement. Totally fine. However, I'm surprised that Britain has still been doing selling military hardware to Iran and many other Middle Eastern states. Now, I didn't say that we created the mess, because it's been going on for around 1500 years.

It'll be hard to grasp but even Churchill talked about the Islamists. Anyway, you wonder why we had no issue with them? because our flood gates were not as sprung open as they are now for them to get a foot hold. You do know what 'sleepers'? Well, those crazies who attempted Glasgow Airport attack, were sleepers... so was the 7/7 and many other attacks.

Finally, I did say I don't support the EDL.

Tommy comes across well in interviews despite the interviewers doing their very best to make him look bad. As for them being racist ive only ever seen tommy speaking out about radical islam since anyone of any creed or colour can be muslim i fail to see how this can be racist ive seen edl marches and theres almost as many black lads with them as whites along with hindus and even a few moderate muslims.tommy robinsons a fairly good representation of your average british working class person, the longer perfectly reasonable views of decent folk are ignored and maligned the closer serious violence on our street becomes.

If anybody wants a history lesson, take an EDL "speech", and swap the word Jewish every time they mention Islamic.

Sound familiar? Sound like Germany in the 1920's & 30's? Just like the EDL, the NDSAP were a bunch of barely literate thugs, and because they got away with their behaviour, and courted people with propaganda tales, they got elected, and became the Nazi party we all know and "love".

All that is needed for evil to triumph, is for good men to do nothing.

The EDL are not the "good men" here.

Might not be a bad thing

it does clarify who I'm less likely to get on with.

The convicted criminal that is in charge of the EDL (tommy or whatever name he's using this week) is the same as any radical. He's identified a group people can blame for their problems and then made them into a potentially cataclysmic event which will affect every right minded thinking person. Like all radicals he mixes a bit of logic with some facts and then adds a healthy dose of hatred and rhetoric and bob's your uncle we have an EDL.

chuck in some good old fashioned fear and propaganda, sell it to a bunch of disaffected people angry cos their life could be better and you have a problem..

your views are pretty much at odds tbh of what is publicly out there on the media of who the majority of EDL supporters appear to be..

its not some sort of multi cultural protest group, its the new nf / bnp and hopefully it will go the same way..

I can't even begin to describe how monumentally moronic this comment is.

Only radicals support radical beliefs, across all religions, races and creed.

You either believe all people who support the right of muslims to exist, to support radical muslims, or you believe all muslims are by association, radical.

Either way, you have a very poisonous view of the world.

You could blame 7/7 or 9/11 on our governments, or you could blame it on the individuals that carried it out, or you could think to yourself 'were those individuals acting a lone', or you could blame the very fact that those people are influence by a holy book that has not been modernised and the very Muslims that attempt to modernise it, end up executed, murdered or fleeing to countries in the West. Sorry... but you can believe that those Muslims are in a minority all you want but those Islamists, that give a lot of peaceful Muslims a bad name are in the majority! Yes, yes... I know, people will say otherwise, but where are your Muslim countries that are beacon's of democracy now? Egypt has went tits up, Tunisia and Turkey. Very very hard topic to speak about without offending people.

The answes to the questions you ask are based on single events proving the norm. One black person on a rally becomes a rally supported by ethnic minorities. Except of course when done the other way around. The racists in the EDL are the minority. Information is manipulated to prove the point and any information that doesn't prove it is identified as being a "one

Off " or "media manipulation"

that will be the government funded UAF your talking about then? I think you'll find if you look deep enough into their members list you'll find numerous criminal convictions on their part, same as the tories, labour, ukip, lib dems etc etc, the same UAF which actively involve themselves in fights against the far right groups, where numerous members of the UAF are arrested and charged at these counter demos, you don't hear much mention of this in the tabloids because all the government and tabloids want people to hear is the arrests on the side of the edl, not their funded thugs of the UAF,

That annoys me. Why? because they are not a few, there are millions of them if you wanted to compare it to the overall Muslim population. A survey was carried out a few years back, asking Muslims in countries like Egypt, Syria, Palestine etc etc whether they supported the Taliban and Al-Queda and such groups and that survey found that as much as 80% supported them, the average was around 60+% pretty high.

Nope, totally wrong..

many have commented that all extremism is wrong, whatever its 'origin' or whatever it hides its true face behind..

you don't have to be 'loony left', centre or anything to see that spouting propaganda and marching with the sole reason of provoking a reaction is not the way forward for any group..

therein lies anarchy..

maybe some extremists would like to go as far as you suggest, others in society see different vile practises as acceptable also..

none are right and any decent folk see them for what they are..

I am happy... cheery in fact. Love a good debate.

I think I'm missing your point. Yes, yes... our governments have went ahead a did terrible things, not the people of the west. Camps, that was a thing of the past... then again, you have many many refugee camps all over the Middle East, very very sad. As I said, and I'll say again... a lot of peace loving Muslims (People, humans) are suffering because of the problems in the Middle East. Just to add, a solution? It's been going on for 1500 years, as time has went by, the weapons have got more sophisticated and more and more people are suffering as a result.

Excuse me I'm not a "lefty" I'm right of centre fiscally and left of centre socially and I'm telling you as a foreigner that the EDL is chocker with racist twats who disguise themselves as a "rational choice" you've used A video to prove something however I'm sure if we used videos to proved the opposite or indeed showed the racist undertones on Facebook or nazi salutes you'd tell is they're a one off.

Would love too but I'm not a fan or supporter of the EDL. I see the Defence Leagues as a means of action rather than words. It concerns me, because it could turn vicious and violent, become a militant arm like the IRA. Then again, that is what happens when you start calling people bigoted, racist, having them losing their jobs etc etc things turn bad.

Has anyone defended radical islam? I must have missed those posts. The vilification of a whole religion based on the actions of a few extremists is as stupid as vilifying all Lutonians for tommy Robinson."

I for one have not defended radical Islam. I abhor extremism in all its forms, all its creeds, and all its colours.

We are all human, regardless of colour, creed, or politics, we all bleed the same colour, and we are all descended from apes, although some in every group have evolved more than others.

" What exactly are they defending ? We have an army, navy, air force and police service to defend our country following proprtionate and necessary.....oh and lawful practices ?

Perhaps they're defending us from johnny foreigners.....those terrible sorts who fought to defend our skies as polish pilots etc, the brave Indian regiments in Burma, and so on.

Get real, the threat is from criminals not a religion or race. Yes there are extremist Muslims but there's a hell of a lot of other horrible sorts from other cross sections.

May i ask if the EDL are just simply people voicing an opinion of being fed up why do they insist on covering their faces and looking intimidating with balaclavas and face masks that scare children and walk along with baseball bats and weapons. I have been in the city centre with friends who have children and we havent known they were due to march through we had a 4 year old screaming and crying at them as they were scary and then we got locked in a shop as they proceeded to smash windows as they went down the road and were threatening everyday people. Im sorry but i have been caught up in their so called peaceful protests a few times and they are just hooligans and come across as scum. There is a way to protest peacefully and they wont do it. They cause trouble everywhere they go and seem to take great delight in it.

Seeming so many of our grandfathers fought a rather large war against a fascist regime in the 1940's, I for one would not be unhappy that our current (right wing) government is funding anti fascist groups. It would seem to be the sensible thing to do. As you have no proof of it though I will be taking it with a large pinch of salt.

An edl march in Plymouth resulted in takeaways being attacked, cuz dey iz extremists rite

And yes, likely because of their skin etc but I'm not going to get in to that. You said it. People losing their job or becoming victims because of their political views, is wrong. If you are black, white, purple or whatever, it is wrong! Just because I also notice that those with different political views are becoming targets, and I decide to defend them and see through the hype doesn't mean I don't also recognise it when that individual happens to be a different racial group.

"espousing their viewpoint"

everyone is entitled to their viewpoint, i am not a paid up member of the edl and never will be, what i am saying is there's 2 sides to every story, don't go along with the sheep without actually looking into the facts,

i said that the government funds uaf and there are thugs and criminals in every political party, pressure group etc, the uaf aren't blameless when fights break out at edl rallys, see below.

On 19 August 2009, police arrested 19 protesters during a demonstration by UAF against the BNP's Red, White and Blue festival in Codnor, Derbyshire. Four people were charged; three with public order offences and one with unlawfully obstructing the highway.

On 22 October 2009, the UAF demonstration against Nick Griffin's appearance on the BBC's Question Time programme resulted in injuries to three police officers. UAF national officer and (then) SWP National Secretary Martin Smith was found guilty of assaulting one of the police officers at South Western Magistrates' Court, London, on 7 September 2010. He was sentenced to a 12-month community order, with 80 hours' unpaid work, and was fined £450 pending an appeal.

On 20 March 2010 demonstrations from UAF and the English Defence League (EDL) in Bolton led to violent confrontations and the arrest of at least 55 UAF supporters, including the UAF protest organiser Weyman Bennett, on suspicion of conspiracy to commit violent disorder. At least three EDL supporters were also arrested, and two UAF members were taken to hospital with a minor head and a minor ear injury. After Bennett was charged and released, he accused the police of being hostile to anti-racists and called for an inquiry into the police's actions that day. The police, while criticising the EDL for "vitriolic name-calling" blamed people predominantly associated with UAF for provoking violence and said that they "acted with, at times, extreme violence". charges against Weyman Bennett were eventually dropped. In response to this news he was quoted as saying: "This is a victory for anti-fascists and for the right to protest. I’m proud to say that the threat of these charges has not deterred any of us from continuing to stand up against the EDL. I can now continue my work without this serious false allegation hanging over me. It is imperative we continue to protest to protect our multi-racial communities."

On 30 August 2010, violence occurred in Brighton, East Sussex, during a UAF protest against a march organised by a group called the English Nationalist Alliance (ENA). A spokesman for the police, who were attempting to keep 250 protesters and marchers apart, said "Unfortunately a small group from the counter-demonstration [UAF] resisted this and threw missiles at the police." There were fourteen arrests during the violence.

On 2 June 2013, 58 UAF counter-demonstrators were arrested by police under Section 14 of the Public Order Act[35] for failing to move up the street away from a BNP demonstration outside the Houses of Parliament against what the BNP describe as Islamic "hate preachers". The police had earlier banned the BNP from marching from Woolwich Barracks to the Houses of Parliament, fearing violence.

good for you

everyone should be proud of their beliefs, some people will agree with you and some wont, i don't agree with the uaf and other organisations like them, i also don't believe in the edl, bnp either but each to their own. My point is there is 2 sides to every story/group etc, the uaf aren't the rosy upstanding citizens people are led to believe, the edl aren't a racist group that people are led to believe either.

I'm not. Its all there to read through this huge thread :D

However, I'll state again... that "incredibly culturally diverse country" will not always be as diverse as you want. What then? Or you'll likely say otherwise, which is fine

Sorry to say that eventually cultures clash, we're not all going to sing and dance together when each of the cultures have different views on things.

THE EDL IS RACIST particularly targeting Muslims. The EDL has staged provocative demonstrations in towns and

cities around the country, attempting to stir up anti-Muslim racism and hatred. They want to divide our communities.

They claim to oppose ‘extremism’ but EDL supporters have been filmed chanting ‘Burn a mosque down’.

A series of arson and other physical attacks on mosques, community centres and the sites of proposed new mosques

have taken place in areas where the EDL is active.

THE EDL IS RIDDLED WITH FASCISTS.

EDL leader

‘Tommy Robinson’ – real name Stephen Yaxley Lennon – is a

former member of the fascist British National Party. Founder EDL member Chris Renton was also in the BNP, as were other leading figures including North East organiser Alan Spence.

Many more former members of the BNP, the Nazi National Front and other fascist organisations are also active in the EDL and its splinter groups.

EDL supporters have frequently been photographed giving Hitler’s ‘sieg heil’ salute.

THE EDL IS VIOLENT.

Its core supporters are members

of football hooligan firms who have joined forces to form a racist street army.

EDL demonstrations have regularly descended into violence.

EDL supporters have rampaged through town centres – such as Stoke-on-Trent and Dudley – attacking Asian and black

people, smashing windows of homes, shops and cars and attacking mosques and, in one case, a Hindu temple.

Two Asian men were beaten up during a recent EDL demo in Dagenham, with one suffering four fractures to his face. In

Luton, Asian residents had their windows smashed and EDL graffiti daubed on their homes hours after an EDL demo.

THE EDL IS A DANGER TO US ALL.

It started by targeting the Muslim community. Now it is increasingly aiming its violence at other traditional targets of fascism, physically attacking trade union demos, antiracist and socialist meetings and anti-cuts protestors as well as black and Asian people.

EDL leader ‘Tommy Robinson’ has issued threats to school and college students protesting over tuition fees.

EDL thugs have even invaded a trade union and community bookshop, News from Nowhere, in Liverpool.

THE EDL LIES

when it claims it has the support of minority

groups such as Hindus, Sikhs, Jewish and LGBT people. Its attempts to recruit from these groups have failed miserably. Jewish, Sikh and Hindu organisations have all spoken out

publicly to condemn the EDL and have refused to be used by the racists and fascists. When EDL supporters tried to whip up Islamophobia under cover of a supposed LGBT ‘pride’ event in east London, local LGBT organisations refused to let the racists hijack the

traditions of pride. The local LGBT groups made clear their opposition to both homophobia and Islamophobia and

forced the cancellation of the EDL-linked event.

THE EDL IS TRYING TO CREATE A STREET MOVEMENT to terrorise ethnic minority communities and attack socialist

and trade union organisations.

They want to create hatred and division.

If your referring to me it would be because i have no allegiences other than to my own beliefs thats were i believe we differ, you will blindly follow the groups your alligned with yet i can form my opinions on what i witness with my own eyes.as the son of a miner i can state through my own experiences that socialist unionists are not the beacon of freedom and equality youd have us believe just another set of muppets willing to put the great and good of this country to the sword to further their own means. as for the uaf violent thugs labelling anyone who sees the world different to themselves as neanderthol racists are no better than the idiots doing nazi salutes. And again the liberals now who are all so quick to label people nazis well there contemperies in the 40s wernt much help in ridding the world of hitler and his cronies as they refused to fight, cherie blairs father being one of them.

Also remind me what the political party of the nazis was...ah that was it the national SOCIALIST party

In name only, even they weren't stupid enough to call themselves the national fascist party.

The national part is a bit of a clue there though as they were nationalists, which is half way to fascism.

Even ukip worries me a little as a nationalist party. Isolational, Japan has already warned us that their industry in this country will be off if we leave the EU. Whats the point of say Nissan sticking around in Sunderland if it becomes expensive to export to the rest of europe. They may as well export to Europe from Japan rather than the UK We will lose many jobs if this happens.

"THE EDL IS RACIST particularly targeting Muslims.

But they attack people based on skin colour even though they say it's Muslims, the dumb fucks end up attacking Hindu's and Sikh's too, thus basing there attacks on race as much as religion...

Racial and religious hatred are similar call it what you may.

And weres your evidence for these attacks? Take a walk down luton high st in full drag and see how even some so called moderate muslims are so understanding of those different from themselves. Its ironic that that you peace and freedom lovers are so rabidly quick to defend what is without doubt the most oppressive popular religion in the world and your also the first to start throwing vitriollic name calling into any debate.

"If nothing else, this thread will be good to note down those that spout incredibly stupid shit.

There's a difference between patriotism, nationalism and racism. A lot of people seem to not be able to make that distinction, either deliberately or through upbringing."

Actually, Turkey is a secular country and not run as a Muslim country. Thought I'd put it out there..
