When someone who seems Asian or Muslim says something like “Let’s burn a flag” and “I hate America”, the EDL are quick to jump on the bandwagon and start complaining. But why is then acceptable for parts of the far-right, to chant “Let’s burn your mosque” and “Let’s go kill a Muslim”? (1:26 onwards)
Why is there no condemnation when these remarks are made? Why is this allowed? Why is it one thing for the far-right, and another thing for someone else? It’s double standards!
A recent example would be that of the young Asian teen who said “all soldiers should die and go to hell” on Facebook. The EDL were eager to highlight the story and complain. But if the EDL were really defenders of Freedom of Speech, they’d be speaking out against it, regardless of who it is.
Note: We think the Islamophobes working in the far-right only bark on about the Freedom of Speech, just so they can have the right to be discriminative and get away with it.
