A letter has been written to the Home Secretary and the Chairs of the Home Affairs Select Committee and the Communities and Local Government Committee urging them to take action against the EDL coming to Bradford. We are trying to stop at up to 5,000 EDL thugs descending on the city who have a single goal of whipping up inter-community tensions.
We have a massive chance of banning the EDL from Bradford. Whether we can depends on whether we can exert enough pressure on the Home Secretary and this is why we need as many people to sign our letter.
You can sign the letter here:

This just proves that Islam isn't a peaceful religion...

If they were a religion of peace they wouldn't rise to the EDL provocation but, they will and once again the Muslims will use the opportunity to attack any white person they see because they're nothing but a bunch of hate-filled racists.

No ones worried about the devout practising Muslims but the young kids who have more in common culturally with gangster rappers. It's not the Muslims who understand their religion but the Muslims who know little about their religion. It doesn't matter how peaceful someone is if you are pushed and pushed and pushed like the Muslim community has been by the EDL for over a year now then sooner or later most people will want to fight back. The EDL are deliberately trying to incite a race war. They are all over Facebook calling for a 'civil war' and spreading Islamophobic propaganda. You know exactly what the effect will be to go into Bradford and that's why you're doing it. So doesn't this prove that the EDL aren't the peaceful anti extremists you all claim to be.
