It's in their interest though isn't it, keep the workers at each others throats rather than fighting each others corners. It's worth remembering that most of the journalists in the national press are upper-middle class, who would rarely if ever come into contact with anyone from the working class.

Like I said previously in this thread, it's no surprise that those who form the rank and file of the BNP and EDL are from virtually identical circumstances as those who join gangs across the country, and those typically young Muslim males who are radicalised by these extremist preachers.
The fundamental cause is deprivation and poverty and it transcends race, colour and religion.

There's a crisis in the British state and this group are being scapegoated to deflect attention from that. The political and business elite have no clout anymore, exposed as a joke after the last few years. It leaves a vacuum where the likes of the EDL walk right into on the coat tails of the popularity of more mainstream jingoistic groups like UKIP.

That said, the EDL were dead on their feet before they exploited the shocking death of that soldier at Woolwich. Let's hope after their leaders eventually get arrested they'll scurry back under the rocks they crawled out from.

If Muslims were planting bombs at churches, there would be chaos on the streets. Funny how when a bomb is planted at a mosque, it is not described as a terrorist attack by a lot of the media.

ERm muslims killed dozens of people on 7/7 and butchered a soldier to death last month and there wasn't chaos, merely people stressing that this was a minority, not real muslims etc etc

And a few claiming it was a government plot lol.

People will stick up for muslims no matter the evidence, yet get all excited the moment a non muslim could be at fault for a crime. If anything its reverse 'racism' if that's what you'd like to call it even though islam isn't a race. Self hating liberals. And lads I thought the edl was a far right group, even though its full of working class left wingers.

Think you might find facebook would be a very different place had that been a Christian church today

No one was injured and we still don't know who did it. If they find out it was a 'westerner' who did it you watch them kick off. This is a group of people who rioted because someone drew their prophet.

Of course, but there wouldn't be 'chaos'.

Although having said that, coming so soon after the butchering of Rigby the reaction would probably have been a lot more violent than it was after 7/7.

The timing with the Lee Rigby funeral does seem a little coincidental doesn't it, lets just hope there's nothing in it

Yeah guess we will have to wait an see, its at times like this the pre-facebook days seem a blessing, I'll never understand how people think they can deal with hat by peddling more hate

Well actually in terms of this whole argument its perfectly valid to refer to followers of Islam as a race of people.

What economic policies do you think the government should enact mate? Build more/any social housing? (De)regulate the banks? Nationalise the railways or keep them privatised.
What about environmental policy? Should we build more or less gas power stations? How should we combat the rising cost of energy?
Left and right politics is more than just like/dislike muslims.
