“Poor education is a problem of this country. islam is most peaceful religion. but uneducated people mix them. Definitions of terrorism is ¿the calculated use of violence (or the threat of violence) against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature; this is done through intimidation or coercion or instilling fear. therefore EDL and Extremism are same group. not islam or anyone faith. but groups of uneducated people.”

“I am sick of this untrue,biased media coverage of the EDL. It's always the same scripted rubbish,we don't want this hate filled,Nazi or far right racist group to spoil our multicultural britain!
We have all lived alongside people of all races & religions for years with no problem. Islam is an exception,as it does not assimilate into Britain,but strives to take it by stealth or if all else fails..violence!
Racism has become the keyword for the media bias & slander that EDL or other nationalist people face. Being patriotic has now been re-branded as racism,but simply wanting to protect history & culture should not carry this untrue stigma. I personally will stand up for my country & belief in the face of Islamic/UAF fascism that is becoming prominent & worrying!
Overall,I hope that the Leicester demo will be peaceful & nobody in my EDL camp let's the UAF cause trouble,give them ammo & cause damage to our cause. The cause being keeping Britain free of Islamic theology,oppression & sharia law. We have come so far in history,lost lives to keep our freedom..for what? To give it away to Islam & become prisoners & second class citizens? Not while I have breath in my lungs & blood pumping in my veins,there will be no surrender ever!!!

“Why is it whenever the economy goes down the pan we get a splash-back of nationalism?”

“"the edl are peaceful people who have an agenda to rid our country of terrorism and islamification" says ladykay, yet yesterday they were in Oldham burning Qurans (how exactly does that act of bigoted extremism help to combat extremism?)”

“as a black person born and bred in the city they have every right to march in the city and thats the way it should be. there are many things i dont agree with but i would not like to see a time come when some one decides on what we can protest about to spare peoples feelings. Who will decide what we are allowed to protest about alot of people came to england because of its freedom and tolerence so you can not have it both ways. my final point concerns the local media and local councilors concern i might have missed it but i cant remember all this concern being shown when after 9/11 there were stickers on many lamposts and other things saying the magnificent 12 praising the hijackers and what they had done.The city has gone backwards in my opinion concerning multiculture as kid i made freinds with kids from th saff monsell braunstone even though i was from highfeilds i went to their areas and they came to mine but i dont see leicester kids doing that much now adays.”

“the edl are peaceful people who have an agenda to rid our country of terrorism and islamification.... yet outside the us embassy yesterday muslims were burning our countrys flags which in my opinion`s treason.... something needs to be done and our government need to grow a pair ..... all eyes are on edl cos this is a relatively new group but in the mean time these muslims are getting away with everything or they cry racism.
well if wanting to rid our great country of these extremists is racism then half the populations racist!”

“on the whole the edl are peaceful people who have one objective to rid our country of terrorism and islamification.
yet muslims can attend the us embassy and burn our british flags etc .... this is treason but they get away with it .... hows that one worked out?”

“As usual the EDL are trying to convince themselves that only the UAF and "islamists" oppose them. I am neither (although I am probably what they think of as leftist trash) and will be demonstrating my opposition to the EDL. As indeed will almost everyone else I have talked to about this - none of who fit the labels put on them by EDL supporters here.

I'm not against them demonstrating either, actually, but don't confuse this with being anything to do with freedom of speech. They have chosen Leicester specifically because they know it will cause a rumpus.

And if anyone thinks this is about "extremism" take a look at the EDL website (which also informs you that their leader is a man called Tommy Robinson, who is definitely not black, incidentally...). Leave the front page - which tries to paint a picture of reasonableness and sign into the forums (it's not difficult). Then you can see what they really think. It's not pretty.”

“The uaf are a bunch of hypocritical, violent, undemorcratic, leftist trash.
By their very actions it is they who act like fascists.Arrests may have been made at various EDL protests but how many of those arrested were fom the EDL and how many from the uaf.A little research as shown that the uaf arrest count far out numbers that of the EDL.If radical Islamisists are afforded the right of protest then the EDL also have that democratic right.Any one who says differently obviously doesn't understand how democracy works.Oh, that will be the leftists then.Uaf, as far as I am concerned it is YOU who are not wanted in Leicester!”

“At a Gaypride event held recently in the midlands, islamists held a protest against the gay community. Due to the police presence and the good nature of the gay paraders there was no trouble but where was the uaf counter demo?Do you agree with the persecution of gay community by islamists?Do you only counter demo against white groups? Are your counter demo policys racist?”
