It was reported in the Guardian that the police had arrested two anti-EDL counter protesters, pity they didn't choose to attend the party?

I think this is a wonderful way to respond to the far-right, racist thugs, that comprise the EDL. 3 cheers to them !

that is unlikely to happen. I have seen a growing trend for women to wear full regalia, one lady who must have been suffocating in the height of summer, was wearing
a burkha, niqab, hijab, gloves and dark glasses so no part of her was showing. I see many women dress this way in our area now, where once it was unheard of.

mikey
so you condemn all EDL as racist thugs, how do you know they ALL are?

[Mamyalynne]

A small but positive move, no we will never change those hard of heart and mind.

But that doesn't mean we don't try.

I wonder how many 'thugs' there are in the mosques ??

[emmie]

mamy
we do try, you see it all the time, those who come together, but these atrocities can't be forgiven i'm afraid.

[mikey4444]

Emmie....I have nothing but contempt for the EDL. They recruit from the same strata of society as football hooligans.

Here they are, at their best :::: (apologies in advance for the bad language)

[emmie]

mikey
it won't play sorry..

[Mamyalynne]

Good.

[mikey4444]

Emmie.....OK...playing up again it seems !

[mikey4444]

Emmie....I think chap is the EDLs Education Officer !

Your youtube link doesn't work mikey ... let me try and re-post it.

[mikey4444]

Talbot....my YouTube EDL link is working perfectly....well, the second one is anyway.

The EDL is closely associated with the BNP, another far-right racist organisation.

[emmie]

none shown in a good light.

[mikey4444]

I agree Emmie, which makes this Mosque's efforts even more laudable.

Afghan Pillock,

Why did all the other passengers, just sit there and let him ramble on?

I would have gone to the tea party, but I suppose a beer, and a bacon sarnie, would have been out of the question :-)

I would have found the Mosque's efforts even more laudable if they did this sort of thing in response to the atrocities carried out by the radicals within Islam.

I would rather the above having a march, than a bunch of Muslims chanting Allah is Great, Police go to Hell, UK go to Hell, and blocking roads & streets, with their daily prayers!

Forgot the link, for those who haven't seen it.
