Why Must We Put Up With Such People In Our Country?

/// The 45-year-old former lawyer added: 'We are going to take England — the Muslims are coming. Brussels is 30 per cent, 40 per cent Muslim and Amsterdam. Bradford is 17 per cent
Muslim. ///

/// The father-of-four takes home more than £25,000 a year in benefits and lives in a £320,000 house in Leytonstone, East London. ///

Not bad for someone who hates us so much.

Probably because he has the inalienable right to live here, aog. What would have us do with him?

I see where the confusion comes from.

The EDL Facebook page is updated all the time. I wasn't saying that the page right now has racist comments on it - but if you go to EDL Watch you can view an archive of comments which people have taken screenshots of.

Here's a link to what members have posted on the EDL Facebook page about gays:

Have a look at what one person would like to do to Gok Wan.

Nasty eh?

Would you like me to dig out screen grabs of what they say about Muslims too, or is the blatant gay hate enough for now?

Now...going back to my original (and as yet, unanswered question) - if we must accept the kind of violent language we see on the EDL site, don't we have to accept other views we find repugnant?

You do find these view repugnant don't you?

Just found this AOG:

Another one AOG:

There's 95 pages of much of the same. You get the picture.

Do you see the problem? If we accept that the EDL have members who will make statements like this, which is guaranteed by free speech - don't we have to accept that others are going to have equally disgusting views?

Keen gardener, sp1814?

Enjoy your 'digging'.

here he is again:-
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/9875954/Muslim-preacher-urges-followers-to-claim-Jihad-Seekers-Allowance.html
both the telegraph and the mail have interpreted "jihad" to mean "holy war", when in general jihad means no more than an inner struggle by a believer to fulfill his religious duties.

are we sure we know what we're being told?

Here's another who fits into the repugnant category

[emmie]

he is well known agitator and has been on tv any number of times, one which i watched was a tv debate with Nicky Campbell, where he clearly said Sharia Law will be part of mainstream Britain one day and that all women should wear a burkha. no we can't stop him spouting his bile, mores the pity. If you see him and his cronies they are usually at the forefront of some demo or other, one was poppy burning. He has a very short memory, a party boy, loved a drink and the girls, suppose he must have had some sort of road to Damascus moment to turn him into a good Muslim.

My thread is about one particular hate preacher, who in my opinion should be arrested, yet you continue to seek out Far-Left sites attacking the EDL for some reason.

I think I have asked you this before but can't remember your answer if you ever gave one, are you in actual fact a Muslim because you seem to go to extraordinary lengths to protect them?

/// Now...going back to my original (and as yet, unanswered question) - if we must accept the kind of violent language we see on the EDL site, don't we have to accept other views we find repugnant? ///

If these so called EDL members actually spewed out this supposed violent language in public, and not by some unknown nutters on some Left Wing website, then yes they should be arrested also.

But I have searched the official EDL web site and cannot find any such comments.
