Casuals United Issue Fatwa?

We doubt the extremist EDL-supporting group Casuals United are even religious, nevermind being Muslim enough to issue fake fatwas (religious rulings), but the guys and girls have done it.

The Casuals are now Islamified.

On their blog they wrote,

Quote: ‘Right due to certain trouble making incidents, and incidents of Left wing journalists posting pics theyve taken at or around demos of individuals, with messages asking “who is this fascist girl help us identify her” and the continuous online attempts to identify people attending EDL and other events with the intention of harassing them and causing them personal problems, at ROCHDALE, no press or photographers are welcome unless invited by us. Any media not accompanied by officials from EDL are to be treated as hostile. This is announced after consultation with various firms. Not invited by EDL leadership? We cannot guarantee your safety at this demo. Sorry for any inconvenience.’

What we noticed

• The EDL do not have the authority to stop news agencies or journalists doing what they do
• No-one is guaranteed safety at a EDL protest, even EDL supporters themselves
• This is just an attempt to stop people seeing the side of the EDL the EDL do not want you to see!

Like this,

No wonder the EDL don't want photographers there.

Update: The EDL and the EDL leader have said they would like the media to be there. Tough luck Casuals, no-one is listening to you.
