This is all turning out to be an andy-hughes v anotheoldgit thread, so I won't be readdress you any further on this subject except to address these matters.
/// I for one deeply dislike and distrust the EDL, but I am in no way in favour of any Muslim extremism, so that dismisses your rather broad-brushed argument immediately. ///
Just because you personally dislike and distrust the EDL for reasons that you have been careful not to tell us, is surely just being selfish.
All right there are many who do not like certain groups all for their various personal reasons, and most are the same as you, they can't come up with any particular reason.
Right the EDL may have some amongst them who are beer swilling yobs, and that is just like the media wishes us to see them, but as yet I don't think that we have seen them committing any suicide bombings, beheadings, throwing homosexuals off high buildings or taking part in child grooming gangs.
On the other hand there are many followers of Islam who do do such things, so if anyone is prepared to demonstrate against the rise of Islam in this country, then I would personally rather speak up for them, no matter what they themselves just look like.
/// Because you are not in favour of Islamic extremism, does that make you a fundamentalist Christian, keen to exterminate all other faiths by any means necessary? I would guess not - although your logic would certainly infer
that. ///
There you go again with your vivid imagination of what my logic infers, where have I inferred that I wish to exterminate all other faiths, when I just don't want to see a further rise of Islam into this country, which apparently you see no problem with.
I do hope that your grand-children and any future great-grandchildren will in the future thank you, for your laid back approach on this matter?
