I ask, as you appear to be seeking to move the debate away from the issue at hand, this being why the EDL were permitted to behave in an illegal way while those seeking to exercise their right to peacefully demonstrate against them were attacked by the police. John T Baptist,

Can you answer me one simple question – are you pro or anti racism? I ask, as you appear to be seeking to move the debate away from the issue at hand, this being why the EDL were permitted to behave in an illegal way while those seeking to exercise their right to peacefully demonstrate against them were attacked by the police.

I honestly don't know what their policies are, other than opposing the BNP and EDL. For the record, I oppose all forms of religious extremism, whether Islamic, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish or other. Like I said, that hasn’t anything to do with Expose.

Expose is an independent group of journalists and media workers who aim to expose the BNP and its fellow travellers like the EDL and to highlight bad media coverage, as well as support proper journalism. I can't answer your question, I have no idea what UAF's official policies are as I'm not a member. You might have a better chance of getting an answer if you actually asked UAF.

You'd have the same reaction if there was a banner saying "Jesus is the greatest" or "Buddha is the greatest"? If so, that would make you a bit of an extremist atheist yourself. If not, then you seem to be displaying a little bit of Islamophobia. So, you’re saying that anyone proclaiming that their god is the greatest is clearly an extremist?

I also noticed the police were doing everything they could to stop Asain youths from attending with arrest, yet EDL supporters were allowd to wonder freely. I am a muslim and sick to death of these self appointed style Muslim community leaders they are as much use as a glass hammer. We belive approx over 2000 youths were stopped from attending a so called democratic demonstration, but there again its no suprise therae after all the police are institutionally racist. The locl police report Police congratulating the EDL for their behaviour. EDL Chants. Kill a paki kill, Nazi style salutes, if your black send them back if theyre brown shoot them down?????? not racist??? This is an insult to those 1st and 2nd world war heroes who fought this bigotry. Shame on the police, BCOM, and the politicians who hide and divert the spot light way from themselves.

Why are police approaching mosques, schools and trade unions to discourage people from demonstrating against the EDL when they don't, for example, approach football games and dissuade people from joining EDL marches? The police behaved appallingly at the demo and am disgusted at apparently tactical smearing of Weyman Bennett and Martin Smith. It’s all so frustrating… why all this effort to discredit UAF?
