The latest controversy is maddening for many reasons.

The EDL was a street-protest movement in Britain whose aims could probably best be summarized as “anti-Islamization.” It emerged in the town of Luton after a group of local Islamists barracked the homecoming parade of a local regiment returning from service in Afghanistan. From their earliest protests the EDL’s members sought to highlight issues including sharia law, Islam’s attitudes toward minorities, and the phenomenon that...

https://twitter.com/Debradelai/status/1001012869629206528 I'm not really sure how to share a twitter thread here, but I thought this one would be useful. Tommy Robinson is not the person everyone seems to think he is. I've got this from other sources, as well, but this one probably lays it out best.
