EDL....

[DandyFloss]

I am a regular who has name changed for this thread.

I would like to have a discussion about EDL. I want to know exactly why people find them so abhorrent and why it is such a taboo subject.

I dislike militant Islam, it is a dangerous movement and it really frightens me. A family friend was killed in 9/11 and it was a horrible horrible tragedy.

I have two mixed race children, my DH is mixed race, I would not say I'm racist or xenophobic.

As far as I can gather EDL oppose militant Islam, and this alone.

Why does this make them racist? Surely militant Islam, although a very small proportion of Islam, should be opposed?

No.

YouTheCat Nope, I am only marching against estate agents. I read sometime, somewhere in someplace and a friend of a friend of a friend a third cosine removed told me they are evil. Plus when I google them I can find evidence to prove my point.

It's hardly likely to become Sharia law for all then is it? And to surmise that it is going to is a bit daft really.

Laws are imposed/changed etc by government, not by a small group from one particular religion.

no - just Islamic law - so not legally binding

How about a march against people who chew with their mouth's open?

Did you know a woman gave birth to a litter of kittens? Honest, no really honest I can show you where and everything.

Why are you all looking at me, tis the truth I tell you. You'll all be sorry when the labour wards are overtaken by fucking cats, yes you will fools FOOLS.

Youthe cat, shariah council is not legally binding. I wish it was, I'd have saved tohusands in legal fees for my own divorce and would have been divorced way earlier than the three years it actually took.

The Shariah council does not preside over matters.

criminal matters that should say

SEE

Even

Don't Panic, I did not give birth to kittens. Just my kids were a bit furry and clawy.

Youthecat No No No No, I only hate estate agents. They have their own rules and everything. You can Wikipedia it and see. Why are you picking on people that chew with their mouths open?

Dontpanic I heard that. I also know that woman was an estate agent.

Gay people keep the EDL up at night? Doesn't that go against their policy?

Somehow I can't see the EDL pitching up at any feminist meetings looking for ways to help the Muslim women..

Keeps them up at night... Ha ha ha ha ha. Brilliant.

I heard about the kittens too DontPanicMrMannering!!

MrsDeVere, i've always liked you from your posts now I luffs you (yes I used it vipers luffs luffs luffs).

Does anyone else get the feeling we aren't taking the very very real threat seriously enough?

LittleTulip have you seen the video. It's all true! Dontpanic shared the link.

Dontpanic. I am really worried. I am afraid for the future of my children. What will happen to this country if the kitten birthing estate agents are not stopped. We need to go back to the good old days. [serious smily face]

If anyone really wants to know why EDL have such a bad rep, deserved in IMHO, then I suggest you try and look at some of tgeir members fb pages. It's actually quite easy to do as Tgey often have very obvious photos.

They will sadly be forced to only live in pre-designated ghettos and live by kitty law little :(

Oh and all food will be made from fish or the wibbly bits of small squeaky animals.

I want to live by kitty law.

Sleeping all day and clawing at furniture.
