EDL Protestor In Court For Racist Outburst

The Cambridge News has reported that a protester has pleaded guilty for making racist remarks to a police officer and spitting at another during last month’s English Defence League (EDL) protest.


An Asian PC confronted him about what he was doing and received a torrent of racial abuse, city magistrates were told. A prosecutor also said: “He was swearing and his words were slurred because he was drunk.”

The man, a 56-year-old from Cambridge, also urinated outside a house on February 23th last year when street closures for the protest were taking place.

He has appeared in court for sentencing.

EDL Go NUTS Over Child Education

Children from two schools in Hendon took part in the Three Faiths Forum which helps young people of different religions socialise and work together (click here for the news story).

As part of the programme, pupils were taught about the different types of food mentioned in the Quran such as honey, dates and figs, and also had the chance to try their hand at Islamic calligraphy.

But supporters of the English Defence League (EDL) and EDL Angels went nuts over children learning things about other faiths.

“CREEPING SHARIA”

What’s so bad about children learning? These EDL supporters have gone crazy.

The children will be visiting Sacred Heart in coming weeks as part of the Three Faiths Forum. We wish the children a happy visit.

Christian Defence League Makes Bad Assumptions

We’ve covered the Christian Defence League (CDL) before, and they are not the brightest of people. They can’t even spell ‘league’ in their blog URL name right.

When the anti-Islam film surfaced late last year, the CDL somehow thought ‘Muslims’ worldwide were protesting over the film, even though they weren’t. On their blog, they created an article titled ‘The “Video Clip” that has Muslims worldwide screaming (and Killing) for more!’.


But the title is an attempt to fear-monger, and it’s also incorrect. Not even 2% of the world’s Muslims protested.

EDL Exploits Grooming Fears, Says Report

The English Defence League (EDL) is exploiting concerns about sex-grooming gangs to fuel its anti-Islam agenda and help forge networks with far-right groups across Europe.

According to a university report by King’s College London named ‘A Neo-Nationalist Network: the English Defence League and Europe’s counter-jihad movement’, the EDL has used recent cases of grooming to build support.

Alexander Meleagrou-Hitchens of KCL’s International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation, one of the report’s authors, said:
Quote: “The EDL has successfully exploited concerns about the sex-grooming gangs in the north of England, turning the issue into one of Islam versus the west.”
The EDL and its affiliates have worsened community tensions and further promoted ideas that helped inspire the Norwegian mass killer Anders Breivik, the report said. One tactic used by the EDL to try to boost its support is that of rape allegedly committed by ‘Muslim’ men as evidence of “Islamisation” of the west.


We at EDLReview have documented many cases of the EDL and its affiliates using grooming to further their causes.

Derbyshire Infidels Reveal Nazi Ideology

The Derbyshire Infidels are a branch off the far-right North West Infidels (NWI) group and have been keen supporters of the English Defence League (EDL) too.

Members of these far-right extreme groups have been known to be racist. For example, the Cumbrian North West Infidels made a Nazi symbol out of shoes (here).

The Derbyshire Infidels posted up a status on Facebook, quoting the “Fourteen words”, which stands for “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children”.


And again...


These words are inspired by passages from Hitler’s Mein Kampf, and alongside ‘14’ is often seen with ‘88’, which stands for “Heil Hitler”.

The far-right National Front (NF) have also used this quote too.
