English Defense League Uncovered

**EDIT**

Thanks to an anonymous reader, I realized the documentary I've posted here is flagrantly biased, and treats the EDL as badly as the KKK. I certainly am not disregarding the EDL as a racist organization, only the racist members of it. This documentary should be taken with a grain of salt, as it is the only one I can find.

Every organization has its extremists and racists, and should not be defined by them if it is in general a peaceful movement. The extremists must be condemned, not the movement as a whole. That's what this blog is about, after all.

Can't how I feel about this just yet... a right-wing English movement that has exploded onto the streets of London determined to protect Britain from Shariah Law. I support the cause, but I'm not liking the extremism and racism the video unearths. Of course, the video is flagrantly biased against the group, so they've probably purposely focused on the bad aspects of the group while excluding the positive. It's definitely not to be considered the primary source on the EDL.

I saw this coming though. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The British government has appeased Muslim radicals in their country for years. Societally speaking, this is the only next logical expectation. It might or might not be 100% morally right, but hey, neither are the jihadis.

I'm curious to know what you all think.

British Islamist Anjem Choudary: Freedom and Democracy Are Idols That Must Be Destroyed and Replaced with Obedience to Allah

Here is a MEMRI interview with an influential Islamic figure in the UK. Note that the reporter had to don a hijab just to get the interview.

Some of his answers are absolutely petrifying. "Freedom" needs to be destroyed? Are you f*cking serious? Why does he want Islam in the government? Why not keep it to the masses, where religion belongs?

I don't even need to answer it. Choudary admits he wants to turn the UK into an Islamic caliphate, which would then become part of the global Islamic caliphate.

When will Islamists understand we don't want to be liberated from our debauchery and sin? We LIKE debauchery and sin. And if enjoying that damns us to eternal hellfire, well gosh dern it Scooter, I'm willing to take that chance. I don't know if he genuinely believes he'd be helping us all live a better life if he converted us to Islam, but all I have to do is point to any Muslim or Arab country in the Middle East, or any Islamic fundamentalist community. There is no freedom to be found in any of those places. Women are treated like dirt. Gays and Jews (and oftentimes Christians and non-Muslims) are tormented or killed for not being Islamic. And if one Muslim doesn't like another Muslim's Islam, it's grounds for murder (see: the Sunni vs. Shi'ite conflict).

The UK is already becoming infamous for its growing cesspool of Islamic fundamentalism. And their skyhigh birthrate is not making things any better. Sooner or later, when Islamic radicals like this Looney Tune start challenging the Parliament, it will force the government to react.

Unfortunately, the only way I see the problem of creeping Shariah being solved is through forced deportation.

Think about it. World governments are reluctant to address the fast-growing problem of Islamic fundamentalism. And you can bet your ass they'r egoing to keep shutting their eyes until they hear a scimitar knocking on the door.

What then?

What can you possibly do in 2020, 2030, or 2040 when half the UK demands the government be dismantled and replaced with a theocratic regime? What can you do when they will not take "no" for an answer, they will not assimilate into the society they've immigrated to, and they will not compromise?

The only answer is forcible removal. Call me a pessimist, but this is the path I see things going down. I'd like to believe that someday Islamic radicals will learn to assimilate into society and get along with non-Muslims. But I'd be a naive moron. That's not what's happening.

Let's just pray the next US president is wise to what's going on. I think it's safe to say by this point we won't have to deal with HOPE! CHANGE! HOPE! for a second term.
