Far right and football gangs plot 'revenge'
Police monitor anti-Muslim websites Hugh Muir Friday July 15, 2005
Guardian Plans by an alliance of rightwing extremists and football hooligans to exact "revenge" on Muslims after last week's bomb attacks are being monitored by police.
The Guardian has learned that extremists are keen to cause widespread fear and injury with attacks on mosques and high-profile "anti-Muslim" events in the capital.
Football hooligans communicating over the internet have spoken of the need to put aside partisan support for teams and unite against Muslims. Hooligans from West Ham, Millwall, Crystal Palace and Arsenal are among those seeking to establish common cause.
As part of wider plans to generate a backlash, rightwing groups such as the Nationalist Alliance and the National Front are said to be planning marches. Extremists hope to hold a march along Victoria Embankment in London tomorrow.
It is also known that many mosques have received bomb threats since the attacks.
Attempts by the right to make capital out of the tragedy have created a powderkeg. Already extremist Islamist websites have told Muslims to be ready to retaliate.
The BNP has sought to capitalise on the atrocities by reproducing a picture of the bombed No 30 bus with the headline "Maybe Now It's Time To Listen To The BNP" in its byelection literature in Barking, Essex.
The tactic prompted cross-party condemnation. Though it was designed to increase support for the far-right, many believe the message may have been too crass and too badly timed to work. The party does, however, enjoy some support in the area.
Gerry Gable, of the anti-fascist organisation Searchlight, said: "There is no doubt that the far-right are playing this for all they think it is worth. If you look at the BNP website there's Nick Griffin saying 'be calm' and other material saying 'don't get angry, get even!'"
He added: "These things should be taken seriously. One site, Blood and Honour, had a posting about a mosque in the Wirral and soon after the mosque was hit. Soon after, the posting was taken down."
The police have pledged to crack down on any attempts to provoke division in the aftermath of the bombs. Members of Scotland Yard's independent advisory group have been asked to liaise with borough commanders in the capital to reassure the public and make sure the police carry out their pledges. The Met has said from the outset that the bombs were an attack on all communities and that none should be scapegoated.
The synergy between rightwing extremists and football hooligans is not new. Throughout the 1980s, some of the biggest clubs in Britain were plagued by notoriously violent and racist followers.
Though virtually all clubs have since challenged the behaviour of extremist fans, and almost all now belong to the Kick Racism Out of Football initiative, violent followers continue to communicate with each other and supporters from other clubs to engineer confrontations.
The prospect of the opening day Championship fixture between Leeds and Millwall in August is already causing concern.
Tooth for a tooth, eye for an eye. Absolute no MERCY for the islamofascists!
Well, common, I guess you are not invited to join the S.A.
The UK press has no problem with referring to their overly zealous football fans as "hooligans", but they have triple heartburn when those truly deserving of wrath are called "terrorists". Sheesh, and I thought we were suicidically politically correct!
Riiight.
Raider fans shoot each other in the stands, win or lose.
"Tooth for a tooth, eye for an eye."
Oh....that's a good one. I suppose you would be able to find that in the Islamofacist handbook as well. Does that comment mean anyone you can just drag off the street and string up?
Such a rapier like wit. You give conservatives a bad name
Bookmark.
I have no recollection of Negroes back in the bad old days being instructed by their religious leaders to kill whitey, and going out to do so. Not so For Muslims.
The Klan were terrorists; the Hooligans would be acting in self defense.
You'll notice no one else is conversing with you. I think I'll join them.
A group of Hell's Angels has volunteered to go help!
France, of course!

You beat me to it!
Kill the adult males; deport all others. If they were born there, send them to the Muslim hellhole of their choice.

Well it won't happen. So it is just a mindless blanket statement of hate.
maybe Ted Kennedy and Robert Byrd
In Germany after WW I, the Communists were raising hell trying to create a similar revolution to the one in Russia. The Spartacists staged an attempted revolution in 1919, and were bloodily put down by the Army and military vets. The middle class was getting scared, and became willing to support anybody who would lead his own group of rowdies to bust heads with the Reds.
And they didn't care about his silly little mustache
If there's much more bloodshed, there will be no holding back the current crop of rowdies, and if the British elite try, they will risk being swept away
This rag has no problem labeling Britons who want revenge extremists but the terrorists are just bombers and misunderstood neighbors who wouldn't hurt a fly.
And before anybody starts in, I am not in favor of the extreme right getting into a bloodbath with the Muslims. I'm just saying that the British government now has little choice: either do something effective, or step aside
