ATLAS EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS: UAF Fascists Disrupt EDL Anti-Islamisation Protest in Dudley, Nine Arrested UPDATE: EDL Member stabbed, Another attacked by Muslim with Broken Bottle
Update: UK: Muslim stabs EDL member in neck with broken bottle, police do nothing
Thousands turn out in solidarity with the English Defence League.
All races, all creeds, all colors came to protest the encroaching sharia and the building of a fortress, a mega-mosque, and were met with the hostile and violent fascists of the ironically self identified “Unite Against Fascism.” Orwellian. The EDL was peaceful, as is their manifesto. But the thugs and the sharia advocates engage in a low-grade civil war action, turning the demonstration into a violent melee.
The EDL is being smeared like the tea party activists in the States. The media is corrupt.
UPDATE: Here’s an on-scene report from UK David:
The EDL were driven into a huge metal cage with high fences all around and kept tightly packed in for over two hours. They were told byPolice officers ”you wanted this demo so now you can stay in there!” I have been told by a very good friend presnt, it was mayhem, claustrophobic and people thought they were going to get trampled on once a surge of anger started and pleas for release as many by this time wanted to go home, were ignored by the Police. The UAF and Muslims who were were running freely on the streets, one stabbed an EDL marshall, another had a broken bottle put into his neck by a Muslim yob whilst the Police did nothing!
Nothing at all mentioned about this demo on Sky News or the BBC that I could see tonight even though they had crews there filming this and some of the EDL were asked to give interviews. So who exactly is being informed, the USA? It seems its taboo to inform the rest of the English of whats been going on in their own land.
A mosque is an outpost, a fort, a bastion of Islam behind enemy lines. A place to plot, a bunker, where Muslims organize the overthrow the kafirs ‘miserable house’ and to replace infidel law with the law of allah…..
EDL Protest Today Against Islamic Supremacism and Sharia in the UK

Here’s how the Bunglawussi blog distorts it:

updates as the day goes on.
UPDATE: The BBC has updated the story above. Here is the latest version:
A group of EDL supporters broke away as they were being taken back to their coaches but were “quickly contained”.
About 2,000 people took part in the demonstrations.
Five people were arrested on suspicion of possessing an offensive weapon.
Two more people were arrested on Friday evening on suspicion of causing damage to a wall beneath a bridge in the town, while another two were arrested for public order offences.
And al-Reuters says much the same thing:
Scuffles broke out with police when EDL supporters broke down wire fences penning them in and ran through nearby streets.
Police said they were able to prevent them reaching the UAF rally.
Officers arrested five people for possessing offensive weapons, two for public order offences and two for criminal damage.
Both these reports make it likely that the people who were arrested were UAF, not EDL. Both the BBC and al-Reuters would love to highlight news that makes the EDL look bad — and look how quick they are in these reports to say that “EDL supporters broke away as they were being taken back to their coaches” and “EDL supporters broke down wire fences.” But then when it comes to writing about the arrests of the people who had weapons and causedcriminal damage, the ones being arrested are identified only as “people.”
That means the people who were arrested were UAF members. If they were EDL, you can be sure both the BBC and Reuters would have happily said so, and even put it in their headlines.
UPDATE: The EDL turnout was reported to be well over 2,000. I hear a couple of EDL members broke free of the pen. It’s all the media is talking about. So what?
Let’s hear about the weapons arrest.
