Why doesn't the home office find away to look into why the protests are occuring and why right wing movements are growing?. This is not just a problem in the UK - it is happening all over europe. A good example would be Mr Geert Wilders and his anti-islamic party (PVV) in the Netherlands. A lot of genuine people are concerned by the growth of Islam and extremism within this country and europe as a whole. Exreme muslims are not helping. Simply brandashing people as racsist (Islam is a religion NOT a race, therfore giving no baises to the accusations of racism) is the only thing the liberal governments are doing to oppose this. The probelm will only go away when solutions are sort on both sides. I am not in support of the EDL or the UAF - they both appear to be as violent as each other (it also makes me laugh when UAF members appear to be shouting 'Nazi scum!' - they clearly have no idea about Nazi ideology - it is well known that Hilter was an admirer of Islam). If what you claim happends and the home office stops EDL protests, then by law it would also be obliged to stop the protests of UAF and any other potentially violent protests (including muslims protests in favour of sharia law). This is a democratic society, theroretically everybody is allowed to voice their opinions. The EDL are condoning violence, UAF and extremist muslims (which do exist; look at recent acts of terrorism and murders within both europe and the wider world commited in the name of Islam) are also condoning violence. This site clearly had a problem with the BNP, EDL and other right wing movements - I share this sentement. However, I don't think that throwing eggs at BNP members and inciting violence whenever there is a EDL protest is going to stop them. I know a member of UAF and I know how much they condone violence. The BNP has broken into mainstream politics legally and therefore have as much right as labour etc. to speak their policies and opinions. Encouraging violence and making accusations is only going to make things worse. Going back Geert Wilders for example, it is well known that his popularity increased due to death threats made against him - it is simply proving his point. Muslims in large numbers need to start showing that they are outraged by terrorist atrocities, instead of keeping silent as this is not helping their religion of peace claims. Only then will the right wing stop growing. Sadly, I don't believe that Islam is a peaceful religion (so far there is much more evidence to support this statement than the contary), and therefore feel that the short period of European tolerance is very quickly coming to an end. Look all around europe at the sad growth of the right and down right extreme right parties. The current governments need to start asking why is this not going away, and coming up with real policies not just saying the word racist and intollerant which due to political correctness gone mad are starting to look like jokes and lose all meaning.
