The EDL, My take.

For several years now the UK has had a problem.

Loud mouthed, miss-informed people, who take to the streets to cause disruption and mayhem over a fear which is based on lies and rumours.

Welcome, to the EDL.

What is the EDL?

The English Defense League to give them their full title, is a "British" run group, who's leader going under the name Tommy Robinson, take to the streets whenever they can to protest the sharia law fear, which is the fear that the UK may one day be under Sharia law.

But shall we look abit closer at the EDL?

You see, MY problem with the EDL is that it's main core of supporters are actually just racist, homophobic middle aged men, who are either looking for a fight or, in truth, are just afraid of anything thats different to them.

Tommy Robinson, although not his real name, has connections with the KKK, who we all know about and what they stand for.

Here's some of what the EDL is like in action.

Attractive aint it?

So what is MY take on it all?

We, as in, the majority of people here in the UK, wouldn't lose any sleep if the EDL fell apart tomorrow for the simple reason that it's just causing trouble.

Video after video, photo after photo could be posted here, showing you that they just cause trouble and disruption, while their movement gains no progress or extra support. The UK will never fall into sharian law, it simply wouldn't work unless there was some sort of war taken place first. In which case, we all have the option of moving to another country, so even if it did, no biggy!

For as long as the borders have been open to the UK, some people have always said that the UK would be much better under sharian law. Some parts of it, actually, yes it would. Like i say though, this simply wouldn't happen. Yet in debates you can have with the members there seems to be more to this group than you'd first think.

In debates with the official twitter account for the EDL, i've managed to find out first hand that they believe there's an epedemic of muslim men, sexually assaulting and murdering teenage girls between the age of 11-16. While it is true that some muslim men do carry out such acts, men from all religions do this, infact, more men from other religions carry out these sorts of acts, so statistically speaking, it's not a muslim epademic.

We also get told of how the islamic religion teaches all men that they are above others and that all other religions are wrong. Because that's exclusive to the islamic holy books? Erm. No.

Long story short, the EDL base alot of their anger towards people purley on the colour of their skin, then hide behind a religion excuse, even if that person isn't of that faith. They protest often on these lies and feel that they have a very valid point, infact, they don't.

The EDL will eventually die out and be replaced by another extremeist group as history has taught us, but until that point in time, sit back, relax and enjoy the show.

They hate and they are hated.
