I will at some stage write my own piece as to 'Who The EDL are' but in the meantime, I have put some links from news media who explain who the EDL are and some of their links

Just click on the blue text below to have a read......

Linked to Football Hooliganism
The BBC say they are linked to Football Hooliganism

The EDL are Rightwing Extremists
A Guardian investigation has identified a number of known rightwing extremists who are taking an interest in the movement – from convicted football hooligans to members of violent rightwing splinter groups.

The EDL are not racist?
Put in simple terms, the EDL are the organised physical force to back up the anti-Muslim bigotry of elements of the racist middle class

The EDL are non violent?
Incidents include a running battle in Luton in May during which EDL supporters and others attacked property and passers-by in a predominantly Asian area, resulting in 35 arrests

More will be added in due course
And do not argue with the People of the Scripture except in a way that is best, except for those who commit injustice among them, and say, "We believe in that which has been revealed to us and revealed to you. And our God and your God is one; and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him."

Surat Al-`Ankabūt [29:46]

The Heads Of EDL say they are not into Violence READ ON!

Around 500 English Defense League (EDL) members descended to Dudley on Saturday 17th July to demonstrate against plans to build a new mosque.

The protest follows on from a previous demonstration in April 2010, where around 2000 EDL member came to Dudley. The EDL was granted permission by the council to protest on Stafford Street, close to the town centre and near areas where ethnic minority populations are high.

During the protest the EDL supporters attentively listened to anti-Islam
speeches, chanted out ‘E E EDL’, and generally hurled anti-Muslim and racist abuse.

As beer flowed the protest soon turned violent as EDL members
hurled bricks and fences at the police. Eventually fifty EDL members broke through the police lines, rampaged through Dudley, threw bricks at the mosque and at the Muslim crowds who had gathered.

They also attacked three Asian women in their cars, attacked a Hindu temple and destroyed bus stops; eleven windows were smashed in Black and Asian areas, highlighting the councils folly in allowing the EDL to assemble near areas populated by ethnic minorities.
EDL corrosive violence surfaced through the rhetoric of peaceful protests.

EDL will never change their racism, islamaphobia even if their leaders change because their organisation is become too diverse and out of control. There are now BNP, NF, skinheads and every other type of group that hates Muslims joined in with them and each one of them has a different agenda to the EDL leadership. Not to sanction the agenda of EDL, but to highlight they are out of control.

The only way for EDL to prove they are not against all Muslims and Islam is by closing down their organisation completely no more EDL. Then starting afresh with clear objectives and no more demos for all sorts to join. There are more than one way to be a pressure group.
Allah says "Let there be no compulsion in religion, indeed truth and guidance is made crystal clear from ambiguity and falsehood" TMQ - Chapter 2 verse 256. He most high and blessed also said: "Indeed, We hurl the Truth against falsehood, and it knocks out its brain, and behold falsehood does perish! TMQ- Chapter 21 verse 18.

Far Right group to become political party.

Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, said last night: “We’re having a meeting this week with politically minded people and we’re discussing the options. We know the support we’ve got from one end of the country to the other because we talk sense. So we’re having more discussions this week. It’s something we’re seriously looking at.

“We’ve been meeting with top political people for a year about this and now we’re getting close. We’ve been sitting down with a couple of lads who are posh-speaking, public school boys, who have been in politics before, and we’re discussing with them where it can go.”
