"Bringing English Flags [and the EDL] to Ground Zero"

Among the non-New Yorkers who traveled to Lower Manhattan on Saturday to protest the neighborhood’s decision to allow an Islamic community center to be built were 14 men who came from England bearing their national flags embroidered with slogans and a symbol of the Crusades.


The E.D.L. is.. well, I will let our LJ-resident Brits give their feelings about the EDL, if they choose to. But this is who you stand with, if you're protesting the right of one group to gather with no obvious malign intent (other than what you create out of your own fear) on American soil. Think long and hard about that....

Pam Geller, one of the people who started this mess, has ties to them. They travel England harassing Muslims.The Guardian did a video spot on them (http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2010/may/28/english-defence-league-guardian-investigation) (warning - strong language).

Oh, I know who they are. And I understand why we didn't just turn them back at the border (although considering how Border Control harasses otherwise decent folk, a little border blocking would not annoy me). But I still want to inflict them with a bad case of bedbug-infested poison ivy with a side order of crotch-rot, for bringing their filth here. *nods*

Sadly, I went to English football matches in the 1980s... including one at Milwall. And the crowds were better mannered than this.

When you're dumber, more racist, more violent, and less coherent than a 1988 crowd at a Milwall home match, you're stooping pretty low. About as low as the Second Crusade, now that I think about it...

I approve of this message.

Great. Because the US doesn't have enough homegrown racist nutjobs...

The homegrown racist nutjob in charge of all of this (Pam Geller) invited them.

Sigh. They do realize that they lost the Crusades, right?

[jimhines.livejournal.com]

You've inspired me.

[icedrake.livejournal.com]

Huh. Another day, another nutjob asshole group I learn about.

That trend can stop any time now.

A flag is not responsible for the people who wave it.
