Paid Members Chris B Posted September 12, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted September 12, 2011 They best thing the EDL can do is not affiliate ourselves with any political party. Â As a way of getting laws changed, of making serious changes and trying to effectively make a religion illegal.... yeah, the best thing you can do is not to affiliate yourselves with any political party. Â Not least because none of them want a damn thing to do with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Quagmire Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Out of interest, how does one become a member of the EDL? Is it a case of paying a membership fee and filling out forms? Or do you just turn up to a march/protest? I'd say around 70% of them joined the EDL by accident as they thought they were signing up for a new electricity and gas supplier.

Kiffy Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 (edited) Sure there's more but one glaring bit of bullshit was the point that "It is a principle of Islam, common to all four schools of the religion, that there can be no secular authority that takes precedence over Islamic law." Which is all very good fuel to the fire of the EDL and various others but, actually, it's bollocks. The Muslim faith specifically states that when living in someone else's country, you should respect and adhere to the laws of their land. Now of course the muslim faith will say it's laws are to be obeyed, in the same way the christian and jewish and all the other religions do. But it's only the Muslim faith that specifies adherring to the laws of the land you are in. Although facts like that, and no doubt many others destroying any worth contained in that article, would ruin the enjoyment for big Mickey. Because he needs muslims to be the bad guys to justify his actions. Edited September 13, 2011 by Kiffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big mickey Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 They spend more time focusing on EDL matters and don't cover other hate groups. Â So they're biased, I mean it's not like the evidence is not there is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 As has been pointed out on numerous occasions, the EDL are the biggest hate group out there at the moment so they get the most coverage. In that article they mentioned MAC but given the EDL is about 100 times, if not more, the size of MAC, they are going to get 100 times the coverage. Do you honestly not understand that?
