| In a way, having E/SDL rallies are helpful to the police because it makes identifying and catching football hooligans easier. |

Registered 13 years agoI live in a town called Hyde near Manchester and there's going to be an EDL march going on there tomorrow. We have quite a large asian community here and apparently there going to try and march right through it. Should be interesting. Apparently half the stores are going to close as there worried it's all going to kick off. -

The whole town gets boarded up the night before. Shops lose a day's trade. The outward appearance to passers-by makes it look like a right dump. Last time the police closed most of the roads as well, a half mile exclusion zone of the town centre.

Probably because that's like condemning Nazis or KKK members etc. It's pretty much just taken as a given for those of stable minds.
I never hear people condeming Islamic extremeism even though it's responsible for some of the worst crimes against humanity.
Nor does that mitigate the EDL's moronic approach to life.
And really, Hindle? -

Registered 13 years agoJust driven through my town now to see if the EDL march is going on. There's a massive police presence and there's a ton of people in the town centre. Looks like the BNP have come to as there's loads of people with placards for them too. All of the shops are boarded up aswell. Looks like they've stopped them from going through the asian part of town. They've blocked the roads off. Proper scummy twats though. -

I am fairly sure Fascism trumps Islamic extremism for carrying out the worst crimes against humanity. I doubt if Islamic extremists are in the top 10. -
Please, let's not get into 'ranking' evil bastard movements...
Edit: the Armenian Genocide was not the result of Islamic extremism. The Ottoman Empire would have died long, long before it did if it had let any form of extreme Islamism into its ruling cadres et al.
Just sayin'.

You can easily say the Ottoman Empire, an Islamic empire, committed genocide against its Armenian population. Therefore Islamic men killed Armenian people en masse. That's obvious, and almost doesn't need saying.
However, ascribing the intention to this as being because of an extreme philosophy, particularly in our current conception of the term, is a little more tricky.
It can be seen as a Turkish attempt to control Anatolia once and for all, and therefore 'merely' the action of an Empire's core body 'defending' itself as it's falling apart at the edges. In a sense, it's more racial - Turks vs Armenians.
The Ottoman Empire was predominantly Islamic, and so of course Christians and Jews suffered to an extent. But they also thrived, and were often very high in government. To ascribe the religious aspect to the Armenian tragedy ignores Ottoman activity elsewhere - the Balkans, the Mediterranean and the Middle East, where of course, there were many non-Muslims.
Essentially, if you even want to postulate the whole thing as relying on religious motivations, you'd be hard-pressed to pin it down to specifically 'extreme' philosophies. I know this bit sounds like splitting hairs in the face of a hurricane, but it's important when talking about current views of Islam, Islamism, and its history.

Well, quite.
However, I still don't quite see how your point of it being a result of several factors, of which some Islamic antipathy towards non-Muslims might be a part, equates to 'those pesky Turks...' in response to someone saying he doubts, specifically, that 'Islamic Extremism' is in the 'top 10'. That sounds more definite than 'result of several factors.'
Anyway, down with the EDL. Bunch of cretins. -

Sadly, some of them will be quite intelligent. It's just that the result of their intelligence will be good standing within the company of criminal shitheels. This will result in them being listened to, leading to better planned racially-aggravated assaults and then swollen numbers of customers at city centre Gregg's outlets.

What I've learned from this is that England is thoroughly depressing. Actually, are we sure Alex Salmond didn't produce this?
