It's been open a few years now.<br /><br />Re: Islamic extremism, the left do not take to the streets against it because:<br /><br />a) It's used as a battering ram by the right to demonise *all* Muslims.<br /><br />and<br /><br />b) In the grand scheme of things, Muslim radicals in Britain tend not to attack British leftists.<br /><br />That doesn't mean the left should apologise for or alibi reactionaries who claim Islamic inspiration.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06298147857234479278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-6354039883893585982010-03-02T19:54:04.815+00:002010-03-02T19:54:04.815+00:00I didn't know there was a Weatherspoons in New...I didn't know there was a Weatherspoons in Newcastle.<br /><br />JotaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-53857410576287263112010-03-02T16:47:51.091+00:002010-03-02T16:47:51.091+00:00I feel for you that your neck of the woods is such...I feel for you that your neck of the woods is such a hotbed for these kind of daft racists.<br /><br />Good luck.Daniel Hoffmann-Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02531802987223516482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-80145563785859765582010-03-02T16:44:39.174+00:002010-03-02T16:44:39.174+00:00When I turned up to protest against the EDL in Not...When I turned up to protest against the EDL in Nottingham in December the ranks of Unite Against Fascism were not particularly endeering - Soviet and Pakistani flags mixed up with anti-American propaganda and Socialist Workers Party literature.<br /><br />Does it really need to be left to the hard left to oppose the EDL? Or indeed, had it ought to be left to the EDL to protest against Islamic extremism (Even if this is only a front)?<br /><br />It's obvious that there's a problem when you need to ask if you could see Unite Against Fascism protesting against Islamic fascism. That the answer is probably no is quite worrying.James Bloodworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02056322603243514660noreply@blogger.com
