Racist are we?

THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE WAS TAKEN FROM A WEBSITE I VISIT FROM TIME TO TIME. I CANT EXPLAIN TO PEOPLE ENOUGH THAT OUR ORGANISATION IS NOT RACIST, BUT THE USUAL CRAP THAT COMES FROM THE LEFTY MEDIA ALWAYS SEEMS TO TO GET MASS PUBLICATION, WHERE AS ANYTHING THAT SEEMS TO SHOW US IN A GOOD LIGHT IS "LOST"!!


A Pakistani member of the English Defence League speaks out

The English Defence League (EDL), a group standing up against the spread of Sharia and Islamic supremacism in England, is often stigmatized as racist and fascist -- but here again this common tactic of the Left is without substance. Sajid Khan, a Pakistani member of the EDL, kindly sent me this message:

I am an ex-Muslim and a proud EDL member. I have been to many of their demos, including London. The information about the EDL in the mainstream media has been quite biased and just stupid. For instance, they say that the EDL is "right wing" and "racist". This is wrong, as I am a liberal who supports equal rights for different races, colours, sexualities and religions. This is primarily why I support the EDL.
As an ex-Muslim, who still has to hide this fact from many (if not all) my fellow Muslims including my family, I believe that your average White English Christian pub-going non-halal meat-eating and pork-eating Infidel living in the West is the only liberal voice out there opposing the hordes of violence-supporting backward "right-wing" religious foreigners who come into the West and think that homoseuxals should be tortured and killed, and who think that women must gain their husband's or father's permission to go out for the most basic of things like seeing a doctor for treatment.

These people believe that women who show their faces are "whores" and are "asking for it," and that this justifies rape. They think that "offensive" cartoons drawn of a supposed "prophet" of a certain religion (I'll let you guess that one) should be condemned by all, and that the freedom to draw such cartoons should not be available. These are the same people of the same religion who will not condemn with the same tenacity the heartless and cruel practice of the "honor killing" of women and girls.

Why is this? If the only people in the UK who are making any noise about this culture creeping in slowly are White people (who are the majority), it's only reasonable for everyone else who does not like this Islamic culture to join with them. The EDL had White, Black and mixed raced members from the start. I myself am from a South Asian ancestry, and I have gotten to know many EDL activists. I have been welcomed with open arms at their demos and pubs right from the first one. The EDL may have seen as if it attracts a few football hooligans at a few demos, but what did you expect -- some Beyonce fans and astronauts? Didn't think so!

I am also happy to say that EDL has created a division especially for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender people, to show that it welcomes all those who will stand against radical islam and for Western civilisation.

But the media ignores us. I gave an interview to a British newspaper at an EDL demo but they only published interviews with white members. There was also another Pakistani lad (he's not religious, I think) who gave an interview before me. He is a footy fan and he supports the EDL and said he is against bombing and sharia law. They also didn't mention him.


Of course not. It wouldn't fit their "racist" theme.

Reports from London 5th March

The following report was taken from www.democracyforum.co.uk

The controversial far-right Dutch politician Geert Wilders appeared at the House of Lords today to screen an anti-Islam film and denounce the religion as "totalitarian" and incompatible with democracy.

The visit, which was originally planned for last year, sparked demonstrations from anti-fascists and a show of support from the far-right English Defence League.

Wilders, 46, who leads the Freedom party, was banned from the UK when Jacqui Smith was home secretary. She said his presence had the potential to "threaten community harmony and therefore public safety".

Wilders succeeded in getting the ban overturned and told a press conference that he had screened his film in the Lords and discussed it afterwards in what he termed a "victory for freedom of speech".

"I had to debate with people who disagreed with me and people who agreed with me," he said.

Wilders said he had "nothing against Muslims whatsoever" but Islam was a "totalitarian religion".

"Islamism and democracy are incompatible. The more Islam we have, the more freedom we will lose and this is something worth fighting for."

Wilders, whose film describes the Koran as a fascist book, has received death threats for denouncing Islam and has been under close protection for more than five years.

This afternoon he repeated the views that have angered Muslims in Europe and across the globe, saying Islam was a "fascist ideology", "a violent and dangerous religion and a retarded culture".

Wilders, who visited the Lords at the invitation of the UK Independence party leader Lord Pearson and the crossbencher Baroness Cox, said: "Cultural relativism is the greatest disease we face in Europe today."

Lord Pearson said that while he and Wilders – "a very great man" – agreed on many things he did not support his Dutch colleague's desire for the Koran to be outlawed.

"If Geert is still calling for the Koran to be banned like Mein Kampf then I would not agree with him," he said. "[But] the Koran should be very much more discussed among the Muslim community."

When Wilders was asked whether he would engage with Muslims who reinterpreted their holy book in a manner more compatible with his views, he replied: "If you tear the hateful passages out of the Koran, you would get Donald Duck."

In any case, he said, Muslims would never abandon the text of what he called "a terrible book".

Lord Pearson denied suggestions that Wilders's visit had been a publicity stunt designed to woo those on the far right, saying it was a multi-party event.

Asked how many people had attended the event in the Lords, he said "about half a dozen", adding that he was not aware of any objections or boycotts.

Wilders was escorted from the press conference as a crowd of about 100 protesters from Unite Against Fascism (UAF) demonstrated against both his visit and the presence nearby of the far-right English Defence League, who had turned out to welcome the Dutch politician.

A large-scale police operation ensured that the UAF and the EDL were kept well apart.

While the anti-fascists were waving placards reading "EDL+BNP=Nazi racist thugs" and chanting "EDL, go to hell, and take your Nazi mates as well", members of the league were massing further up the Thames outside Tate Britain.

After waiting around for two hours outside the gallery and in a nearby pub, the 300 EDL demonstrators began marching towards Parliament Square just before 2.30pm.

Flanked by mounted officers and escorted by a thick police line, the EDL members wore shirts bearing the names of their divisions – Glossop, Blackburn, Oldham, Stockport, Merseyside – and carried placards reading: "Gert [sic] Wilders, England Salutes You" and "England needs a Gert [sic]".

The point of the march appeared to have been lost on at least one EDL member. Spying a Dutch tricolour carried in salute to Wilders, he asked his fellow demonstrators: "What you got a French flag for?" [A likely story! - Darren]

London 5th March - Part II

So we were at this boozer, people where starting to gather outside, the sun was shinning (was actually nice!!). Anyway i went into the pub b4 it got buzy to get a pint, lager for me, coke for me mate. Ordered em, an fuck me i nearly started fightin with the girl on the bar straight away, £7.80, Im the scouser im the one who spose to do the robbing... at least i have a mask to wear and/or hit ya over the head first. Once our numbers started growing we started organising ourselves, I was with the Stewards. Its not something I want to do, but i figure that you have to be confident, and I have some experience of err.. dealing with crowds (lol). As much as not really into doing it, I want everything to go well for us as Organisation, so i jumped in an done my bit.

We stayed for about hour and half, before being allowed to march (Officially the first time we have been allowed). The Commies had blocked the road so we where held outside the Tate for bout 2 hrs, while the UAF (the real facist scumbags) where removed by force, and around 50 of them where arrested.
While we where outside the Tate, a few of our members including a Sikh made some short speeches, mainly i think to keep every1 from being bored at the waiting to move. The sound system was inadequete, but what can you do!!!

Eventually we moved down towards parliment square, there was a fair few mounted OB and normal plod, but nothing like what we have been used to, even had one of the top OB`s (Manchester OB, forget his name) come over and say thank you an shake my hand.
Our day was a sucessful one for us, we managed to marshall ourselves quite well, As far as i know we only had 1 arrest from within our ranks. About an hour later we moved on again to the tube station the OB had selected. We all marched down the stairs, where once again we where met by uniforms, they guided us down to a platform where there was a couple of carriages cleared and train held just for us, oh i felt special then!! No1 was allowed to bored our carriages, which was interesting at the stations...
Anyway that was the day pretty much over, we all dispersed and started our long journeys home, we eventually got back to our coach, which was a bit quieter on the way home, coz I for one slept most of the fuckin way back! ( well to wigan anyway), Then with out a couple of members from other divisions we would never of got back to Liverpool at 2am saturday morning.
Sausage an Egg butties, then Bed!!!

London 5th March Support for Geert Wilders - Part 1

This was a bit of a mad one for me. Originally I couldnt afford to go, so wasnt, then after thinking about it, I realised that I couldnt not go and support Geert Wilders in our capital city. This fella has had death threats and has to be surrounded by a close protection team where ever he goes. Why? because he disagrees with Islam!!! Fucking nuts!!

Anyway I decided i was going to go, and one of the younger lads from chester division decided to come with me. We where going to travel by coach with a few over divisions, but as there was only to of us we had to get to the coach.. trains at 4am after no sleep are never a good thing, followed by a ride on the tram in manchester and a walk to the pickup point.
We were happy that we were not the first to the pick up point, so at least we knew we had the right place. I think we waited about 45 mins, on a cold morning, several people turned up an we all had a chat and a laugh. It wasnt just our people that turned up though, some of our uniformed friends turned up. Mostly Intel gathering i think, Video`d us and was writing details, more than likely what divisions shirts he could see. When our rather large coach turned up, one of the Uniforms tried to tell me that he was not parked in the way of the coach, what a nugget, I laughed at him and explained that he was parked in the middle of a single track road, 10 ft away from the corner entrance that the 45 seater coach wanted to turn round, at thought that he would understand that as a traffic officer he should know that the turning circle of the coach would involve going right threw where he was parked, he moved with a grumble..
Anyway that was the coach for us, ithad already made couple of pick ups so was mostly full. Everyone was very pleasent to each other, some I already knew from previous demos and/or the internet. Its always good to meet like minded people.
We set off for a hell of a journey right to central London.
There was films on the coach, including The Firm (remake... ok, but not all that!!) but mostly there was singing, lots of singing!!!! All good Fun

We eventually got into London around 1230, and we had to literally shoot accross the road, and on to the tube (where we met some more of are uniformed OB mates), £5 each, we eventually got us all through, and headed down to get our train, just as well this bit was controlled by some one, coz fuck me, the London Underground is a proper confusing place, and the line maps dont help. We spoke to several people on the tube, a couple where generally interested, and I only heard one person try to give us abuse, which is always interesting, as they all tend to say the same thing "NAZI`S" or "FACISTS". Thing is though the joke is really on them, because none of us are, and it just gives us a chance to laugh at there communistic, uneducated veiws.

Also we meet another lad wearing one of the EDL hoodies on the tube, Student Division!! He had not been brainwashed by the UAF, in fact was very pissed off at how the likes of the UAF tried to force their veiws upon the student population.
6 or 7 stops later we got off the tube and made our way up an out, (where we were met by some more of our uniformed friends, who were actually very polite) we were directed, not escorted to a nice little pub by the Thames, on the opposite bank to the MI5 building.

Stoke part 2

We gathered in our thousands in front of a small but adequate stage, i was with some of our division who were gonna make some speeches, along with people from other divs, including a Sikh, and the leadership.
The speeches where brilliant, very powerful issues where addressed by all, and a minutes silence was held.
During this there was some trouble that started up near one of the police lines, i went to assist our stewards. When i reached the front lines i found that we didnt have enough stewards, and i didnt really recognise anyone at the front, which makes me think there where a lot of local youths out to cause to trouble.
There where a few scuffles with police, nothing major but netherless still scuffles, and no doubt the media photographers where all over that!! cunts, they only seem to pick on the bad points, they dont mention they fact that we also had a collection for a soldier who was severly injured, and raised in excess of £1000!!

Anyway im gonna cut this short as my memory is crap, that was part of the reason i started doing this. I have just added this after a spell offline, have it all sorted now though and my internet is back on. So will carry on.
