		<description><![CDATA[Your gratuitous defence of the EDL removes any credibility you may have had, and your one-sided view of Islam, preferring to focus on the minority of fundamentalists and trying to pass them off as the majority, is extremely dangerous. Your Jihad News highlights Muslim violence worldwide, but what percentage of violent crime in the UK is committed by Muslims? Certainly not proportionate with the hysteria surrounding it. 

The EDL are not representative of the working class in any way, shape or form. What you may not know about modern Britain is, since the Thatcher years, when many working class industries were effectively shut down, the working class split into 2 factions - the working class who continued to work, and the underclass, a faction who don&#039;t (or rarely) work and haven&#039;t done for some time, many of which decide to blindly and baselessly blame &#039;immigration&#039; and/or &#039;Islam&#039; for the fact that they&#039;re unemployed. Given that most successful working-class movements in British history are predominantly left-wing (such as the Labour party, which has unfortunately been hijacked by the middle classes and is now centre-right) proves that far-right extremism and the working class are not mutually exclusive, as you seem to imply.

The EDL are reactionary thugs. They are not even a political protest, they are a mere street movement who do nothing but cost the taxpayer millions a year with their street protests which often do nothing but descend into violence with the police. I say violence, it usually involves them throwing beer cans and other miscellaneous objects at them. What does this achieve? Nothing positive whatsoever, only to marginalise and divide otherwise well-integrated communities. They exploited the brutal murder of Lee Rigby for their own gains, and for you to say that they only fight back when attacked by fundamentalism is extremely false. 


In a way it&#039;s a shame you&#039;ve been denied entry to the UK, because it&#039;s given your cause unnecessary publicity. If the Home Office had allowed you and Pamela entry, you&#039;d have said your thing, got a bit of backslapping from those naive enough to believe your rhetoric as representative of Islam in Britain, and you&#039;d have been on your way with little or no outside attention. There&#039;d have been no originality and the whole thing would be relatively unremarkable, as the majority of decent people in Britain know that jihadists are not representative of British Muslims.  


To me, an equivalent counter-argument to yours would be to highlight the activities of the likes of the Ku Klux Klan and the WBC and claim they are fair representations of Christianity in the United States. It is ludicrous.



Retweet that, Robert.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Great fan of Robert Spencer, Tommy Robinson &amp; Melanie Philips so I am torn on this issue. Much as I hate the left&#039;s tactic of shooting the messenger and ignoring the message to some extent Melanie is right here. In 20 seconds flat anyone can go onto youtube and find videos of drunken skinheads waving EDL banners. Do these people represent Tommy Robinson and the other &#039;&#039;serious&#039;&#039; members? No, they don&#039;t but these people who have been allowed to affiliate themselves with the EDL have irrevocably tarred that organisation. I&#039;m not sure Melanie is embarking on kid-gloves caveats when she calls them out on this, though I don&#039;t like her assertion that there may be racist elements in the EDL. I&#039;m yet to see any evidence of this.


On the other hand, if the reincarnation of jack the ripper had been on hand to warn the world of the rise of nazism most sane people would have welcomed his warning - and I am NOT for one second likening the EDL with Jack the Ripper, merely suggesting that what is important is the message, not the messenger.


I am a Brit and I have to disagree with Roberts assertion that class warfare is behind the attacks on the EDL. If anything the UK is going through a reverse snobbery phase - certainly as far as attacking the right is concerned. For the left, the working classes have always been held in higher esteem, albeit superficially, to those normally considered socially &#039;&#039;above them&#039;&#039;.


Anyway, I am ashamed at Theresa May&#039;s decision. Wish we could vote these anti-free speech leftists out from positions of power - except of course Theresa May is supposed to be a freedom loving conservative!!


My country is doomed. Thanks for trying though RS.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You are falling into the same trap by attacking Phillips. As for your accusation of hypocrisy, what about when Geller herself disowned, if that&#039;s the word, the EDL for what she saw as anti-semitism in their ranks. Now she criticizes Phillips for virtually the same thing. Also, for such an advocate of free speech she is able to censor comments she disagrees with on her blog. That&#039;s two instances of hypocrisy right there. Geller is basically a New York liberal Jew (pro-choice, pro-gay) who happens to agree with the Right on one or two issues, mainly on Islam and its threat to the west. BTW Melanie Phillips is also a Jew but does seem to be on the Right side of the political divide.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The dynamic of class snobbery?

Of course it &#039;exists&#039;, nowhere more so than in leftieland Islington, but you personally know Melanie Phillips?  Any thing she has ever said or written that gives you grounds to think she would reject someone&#039;s contribution to counter-jihad simply because they&#039;re working class?  To my knowledge, quite the reverse.

I&#039;m aware that Mr David Horowitz doesn&#039;t want any more fuel poured on this already very damaging fire, so in deference to this truly great man, I&#039;ll confine my comments.  I&#039;m also aware that M/s Phillips had right of reply in FPM to Mr Spencer, but appears not to have exercised it, although she did post a reply on her blog.

What I will simply state, is that it should be possible, especially for people who on the question of Jihad are on exactly the same page, to have a respectful difference of opinion on the EDL.

I would suggest that the appropriate response of M/s Geller and Mr Spencer to M/s Phillips should have been along the lines of:-

&#039;We thank Melanie Phillips for her unquestioning support for our right to enter Britain, and her unqualified endorsement of Robert Spencer&#039;s scholarship of Islam.  We recognise that in Britain Melanie is among the pre-eminent voices opposing Jihad and we pay tribute to her brave stand.  Clearly we do not share her view on the EDL and would welcome clarification from her on what else she objects to in our approach to combatting Islam and others we work with.  Any debate opened up between fellow counter-jihadists in a fraternal spirit can only benefit the defence of freedom to which we are all committed.  What is most important is what unites us over Jihad, not what divides us with regard to the EDL.  Thank you once more Melanie for your unwavering support, and we will agree to disagree with you on the EDL&#039;.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am convinced that there is something organically, genetically WRONG with the brains of Leftists. They are wired wrong. Leftists are incapable of sensing, let alone acknowledging, real danger. They revile and slander anyone who would alert them to it. They embrace enemies and demonize allies. 

It has somehow become chic and fashionable for them to do this, as they have done over many generations. It thrills them to publicly strike poses while proclaiming their chic, treacherous idiocies. They are addicted to it. They are truly mentally defective. I&#039;m sure this merits further research.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Have signed your petition, keep up the good work, we must be allowed to measure speech, as we used to do to see which ideas are good and those which are bad, that should have been stopped at inception, Islam is one of those bad ideas (see Winston Churchill&#039;s surmise of Islam and its votaries) http://www.allaboutmuhammad.com/winston-churchillrsquos-comments-on-islam.html


In the 21st century it is ONLY Islam which kills in the name of its god.  Now we can lay all Abrahamic texts next to each other we can see that Mohomet is NOT the perfect example to follow (sura 33:21) and the Qur&#039;an does NOT confirm the Bible and New Testaments as it claims (sura 3:3).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chris, the comments I&#039;ve read by a lot of Americans on this, it seems like you&#039;ve been watching far too many black and white movie versions of Charles Dickens novels.

Melanie Phillips *and Douglas Murray are both British, they respectively say that the EDL are &quot;thugs&quot;, &quot;deeply troubling&quot; and &quot;violent&quot;.

Noone compares to their contribution to the cause of counter-jihad in Britain.  Even if you do not agree with their opinions on the EDL, perhaps they deserve a bit more respect?

Here is Melanie Phillips&#039; response to the insane ravings of Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer against her:-

http://www.melaniephillips.com/a-hysterical-and-ignorant-response

Up until this I had the utmost respect for Pam Geller and Robert Spencer as counter-jihad warriors, but now they have revealed a deeply unsavoury side to their character that goes a long way towards explaining why they support a fascist bunch of street thugs like the EDL.

Geller and Spencer have acted like a couple of internet trolls towards Melanie Phillips.  Phillips and Murray wage counter-jihad to defend freedom.  Until recently I thought Geller and Spencer did the same.  Now I find them highly disturbing characters.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[EDL is blatantly NOT racist. Read their mission statement, listen to their leaders and &quot;non-white&quot; members. However, the EDL regularly catches UAF members hiding in their marches and making nazi salutes in time for photo ops. The EDL have a few not-so-bright skinhead members but have zero tolerance for neo-nazi crap; they either evolve with the organisation or are kicked out. But definitely the EDL should grow their hair long to prevent confusion among the simple-minded and working class-phobics among us.]]></description>
