Christian Defence League: Promoting Religious Intolerance

There is nothing really ‘Christian’ about the Christian Defence League (CDL). It’s merely another Division made off the English Defence League (EDL) that is trying to gain support from the religious to target Islam and Muslims (the Jewish Division does this too).

It says on its Facebook Page, ‘Please refrain from criticizing other Christian denominations here or our Jewish friends’, and likewise, we can see both parties trying to work together to target the faith group.

What is easily noticeable, is the obsession the group has with extremists. They basically share stories of extremists… and that’s it. The CDL are trying to promote the loony ideology that Islam is a ‘threat’ by trying to define what Islam is. Even worse, the group targets Islam publicly.

We know statements like these creates many problems, and it also contradicts the EDL’s Mission Statement saying it promotes the ‘understanding of Islam’. Likewise, there is nothing ‘Christian’ about the CDL, and it is merely a group that promotes Islamophobia, intolerance and bad IQ.

Surprisingly, this Division also shares information from Pamela Geller, a co-founder of the hate-group Stop Islamization Of America (SIOA) and a person very rooted within the Islamophobia network.

Her work and group influenced the Norway bomber, Anders Breivik (a self-proclaimed Christian), and she also received an extremist email from a person who said they were ‘caching and stockpiling weapons’ shortly before Breivik committed mass murder. Click here to read about it.
