Hopefully a little clarification for you both (as I see it at least) WM221, SamF
Bagpuss posted #35, the "mission statement" of the EDL & in their first paragraph they go to great lengths to differentiate, between oppressive & radical Islam as opposed to moderate Islam. The Muslim believers themselves have vastly differing takes on the interpretation of the Koran & it's meanings dependent on the leanings of those spoken with.
Whilst we must always protect against the unjust assumption that all Muslims are complicit in or somehow responsible for these crimes, we must not be afraid to speak freely about these issues. This is why the EDL will continue to work to protect the inalienable rights of all people to protest against radical Islam’s encroachment into the lives of non-Muslims.
The above taken from the EDL's "Mission statement" on their homepage. So if their intents are as they say & that any & all may partake in & affiliate to the EDL, this statement infers that Muslims may also be members, so long as they harbour no radical intents & believe in moderate & fair treatment of all peoples. That said, from what one reads & sees not many Muslims have taken up the EDL on their offer, lack of clarity ? Uncertainty as to goals ? Or peer pressure from within their own communities ? |
