LONDON (AP) - Authorities arrested 90 people after racially charged violence erupted between a group protesting Islamic extremism and counter-demonstrators in the central English city of Birmingham, police said Sunday.
The clashes erupted Saturday when a rally by the English Defense League ran into counter-demonstrators including anti-fascists and youths of South Asian descent, West Midlands Police said.
About 200 people were involved in the clashes in downtown Birmingham, police said.
Television footage showed masked or hooded youths throwing projectiles and running from riot police through the diverse city's downtown area.

too late for Britain’s immigration reform eh?
“anti-fascists and youths of South Asian descent”
It’s interesting how the reporter was able to identify their political wing and geographical origin, but not their most obvious and unifying characteristic - ISLAMISTS.
“Clashes also erupted last month at a similar demonstration in Birmingham, a diverse city of about 1 million where nearly a third of the population is nonwhite.”
Oh, the joys of diversity!!
Yes ... indeed. The “rainbow” of anger, hatred and intolerance — especially displayed by those new arrivals and that next generation.
Diversity is fun!
The DIVIDED city's downtown area...
Same will happen in the U.S., but 50 times worse... Bet the rent.
Properly this should be titled “...after racially charged violence erupted between a group protesting Islamic extremism and groups supporting Islamic extremism.”
In the leftist media, a hooded person who attacks others for expressing their opinions is by definition an "anti-fascist".
The English Defence League are a bunch of football hooligans who support the BNP (British Nazis).
I don’t have any sympathy for them.
Diversity is their strength?
The BNP are nazis.
Their founding members openly glorified and admired the nazis.
They are on record doing so.
That is the foundation upon which the BNP has been built.
You can’t get around that.
I’m not misinformed.
If you don’t like it, that’s your problem, not mine. I’m not the nazi apologist here.
Ok. So a Christian Tory decides to convert to Islam. By your standards, he or she must be killed. Even if they have never hurt anyone. Even if they have never advocated anyone being hurt. Even if they are veterans of the British Armed Forces who have fought for their country.
Does someone not have to commit a crime for you to execute them?
Prove that assertion. Show me where on the BNP Website they 'glorify' and 'admire' Nazis. If you can't do that, you're a mudsucking liar.
Nope. I don’t have to. The Telegraph have posted that in the past. You can also find these references for yourself by doing some researh online. Try wiki. I’ve posted these links before in the past on these BNP support threads but I don’t think the burden of proof should fall on me when it is such a matter of public record. It’s a KNOWN FACT. I don’t need to prove Elton John or George Michael are poofs for example. It has been published and is well enough known. And so it is with the BNP.
Look, you’re the one supporting them. They have DEFINITELY said admiring things about Hitlers Nazis in the free and open press. Maybe YOU ought to look into it more before you get caught out supporting these guys.
And I will say it again. I have posted this ‘proof’ on this forum before. If you want to dig for it, be my guest. I shouldn’t have to post it every single time one of you BNP supporters crawls out from under your rock.
Educate your own self.
