In the immediate aftermath of the recent Islamic butchering of a British soldier in broad daylight on a London street, Twitter was awash in outrage — but not so much against the Muslim terrorists. The massive outrage and hatred was directed against the controversial protest movement known as the English Defence League.
You read that right. Endless numbers of deranged, brainwashed, politically-correct people took to social media to denounce (in the most derisive and hateful words) not the fact that murderous Muslims had once again made a gruesome public display of jihad on English soil — and boldly rubbed the nation’s face in Lee Rigby’s blood — but the fact that an angry group of Englishmen would dare hold a rally on the evening of the barbaric atrocity.
The EDL, you see, consists mainly of patriotic, white British men who are highly concerned about the spread of militant Islam, and Islamic gangs, in Britain. The EDL’s comprehensive ranks these days are actually comprised of a wide variety of races, religions, dispositions, and education levels, but the politically-correct media has succeeded in smearing them as nothing more than a bunch of rabid racists and football hooligans who are about making trouble and stirring up hatred, and not much else.
The authoritarian crackdown and cyber-hysteria against those few who dare object to having their country hijacked by 7th-century savages is nauseating to observe. In just the last week in Britain, an 85-year-old lady was arrested and charged with a hate crime for yelling invective outside a mosque. In a separate incident, a pregnant woman was handcuffed in the street and dragged off by police for the crime of displaying a British flag (the flag offended nearby Muslims, you see).

By saying -- and perhaps even believing -- that Islam is the Religion of Peace and that the future does not belong to those who are truthful concerning slander the Holy Writ of Islam, President Obama is leading many in the United States -- and perhaps even non-Islamists elsewhere who still pay attention to what he says -- into submission.
Either that or it is collective cowardice as suggested at this PJ Media Trifecta video. Perhaps it is a combination.
Dyarbakir?
Yup, Diyarbakir. Pirinclik CDI, to be more exact, my first assignment with the USAF. But upon reflection it was actually the later part of ‘81 and most of ‘82 (Oct.-Oct).
Were you there also?
“EDL = English Defence League. The TEA Party across the Pond...”
Not quite, UKIP is their Tea Party (and more of a Tea Party than ours even is). The EDL is the ENFORCEMENT ARM of UKIP. I expect them to work very, very, well together, although things will be ugly and violent.
Absolutely right.
What successes have they had? I only just found out about them last week.
Hi IChing
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. My wife was stationed there, Apr 88 - May 89. She worked with “Betty” and “Cinemascope”. I visited in Feb of 89. Interesting part of the world.
Sergio, thanks for the reply. Yes, definitely an interesting part of the world, lost in time...
