Educating the EDL (and other oxymorons...)

According to the British media, the EDL is going from strength to strength, and everybody's rather worried about them. Why? Call me naive, but a bunch of football hooligans singing racist songs and getting arrested doesn't inspire mortal terror in me. Maybe it's because the EDL, along with all of the far-right, is so confused and ideologically-contradictory that it all just comes off as mildly amusing more than anything.

In this video, I explain to the EDL why their three biggest targets - Islam, students and 'leftism' - are in fact not at all at odds with being English, and all in fact have some fairly long-standing historical links with England/Britain.

...Algebra was known to the Indians, as was chess. The Chinese knew about vaccination. It’s pronounced ‘Averro-eez’, etc. Anyway, if hundreds of thousands of Christians suddenly wanted to immigrate to Saudi Arabia, would the Saudis be obliged to take them because cars and computers were invented in Christendom? Try actually thinking about it, rather than just parading your conscience.

@mrarcher857 My point, really, was that it's a bit silly to claim that Islam, Muslims, or that whole culture has "added nothing" to the melting-pot of human experience when it so clearly has. Of course the origins of many of the things I mention is in question, go back more than 500-600 years and a whole bunch is, but Islamic scholars have compelling claims on most of them. Wasn't attempting to be historically-definitive, more illustrative.

@EnglishWarrior200 More ramblings from our impotent little nazi fiend EnglishWussy200, who hates to be confronted with FACTS and LOGIC. In his world everyone would be a white football thug, underclass scumbag and go around acting tough to cover their insecurity at having a tiny manhood and no life...... poor poor EW...37 and no friends. Has to sit and play all alone. EDL demos are the only time he gets to go out. Poor poor man child. Susan x

@GaEv4 if you live down my way and see the behaviour of some of these Muslims. You do come away thinking most of these Muslims seem to behave alike.

Down my way, Muslims have adopted a tactic. They go out of their way to be nice to white folks. But they seem to extremely unpleasant towards Hindus and Jews.

A lot of middle class white folks are just not aware of the problems. They have become blind.

@Nuron666 I find it interesting that you refer to Muslims as if they were one giant body all interconnected with a hive mind like tendency to act completely alike.

Respond to this video... [...] Moreover New Labour admitted using immigration as a weapon to marginalize the native culture and punish 'the right'. Isn't that what you should be making videos about, that your own government had a secret plan to remake the country? Doesn't that make the EDL seem kind of trivial?

[mrarcher857]

@TheManWhoFeIIToEarth Ok. Well it's a world civilization, it'd be very strange if it didn't have some achievements to its name. But if you go into the detail it does indeed seem that Islams' authoritarianism brought about its decline. My point was that this is all totally irrelevant to the debate about mass immigration, which seems to be the EDLs' main gripe, and whereby we've needlessly imported various Islam-specific social problems (honour killings, terrorism, Anjem Choudry etc.) [...]

[mrarcher857]

...Ok, I couldn't resist. Of course there were 'connections' between England and the Islamic world, and the vast population of the Islamic empire did produce a few discoveries (still nothing on the order of, say, ancient China or industrial Europe). None of that is an argument for mass Muslim immigration. I'd love to see your sources for English law being 'based on' Islamic law, sounds pretty fantastical to me since England was never an Islamic country...

@GriffinPilgrim the only way I will have any respect for Muslims if they started treating Hindus, SIkhs and Jews with some respect. Stop treating them like shit.

Muslims need to match the behavioural standard set by Hindus and SIkhs. HIndus and Sikhs are very sociable people, with a low crime rate.

Where as Muslims have a higher crime rate. I want to see good behaviour rather that aggressive behaviour.

Some how I dont think its going to happen ever.
