Im not English so I wouldn't truly know, and there is a difference between what it means to be English and what English means.

I forgot you live in a topsy turvy world where the EDL are noble race knights and everyone who opposes them is an islamo-fascist or a collaborater.

WW1-Germany was relatively centrist in politics (or at least, not as far right as many nationalist parties today).
WW2-Britain let Hitler get away with most fascist policies through appeasement, before finally declaring war after 6 years of breaking the various terms of the Treaty of Versailles.

That I realize now, should probably add "NOT from the Daily Mail".

Though I did meet a EDL member a while back and he proved to be quite pleasant, so I get the impression that the organisation was probably started with noble intentions but got hijacked by thugs that were looking for a good excuse to smash stuff. Seems a similar thing is happening to the UAF and did happen with the student protests of last year.

Quote the statement from the judge in that article where he states that he gave them a suspended sentence because they weren't used to alcohol, as you claimed he did.

Are you arguing that the judge was racist because he believed Muslims are ignorant about the effects of alchohol?

The EDL are still about AFAIK but I gather that UKIP is the only "righter than the conservative party" party that's still going strong. I think that the EDL has many racist members who are there just because of them "funny coloured people" but I also think there are real concerns in British politics of a soft attitude on Islam I mean when you have George Galloway winning a seat in parliament because he successfully argued that he was "a better muslim" than the Labour candidate I sort of get worried about the political state of Bradford! (where the By election was held) That being said I in no way support them but I do think any religion getting involved with politics is a Bad Idea.

Actually the judge wasn't convinced that it was racial motivated and dismissed the defendant's claim that the women weren't used to alcohol.

No, you said:

the Judge said they were not used to alcohol


Which was false. You know, the opposite of the truth. The reason he gave for giving them a suspended sentence is right there in the article and has fuck all to do with their religion, making this case utterly irrelevant to this thread.
