[quote]English Defence League leader and founder Tommy Robinson has left the group, saying he has concerns over the "dangers of far-right extremism".
The EDL organises protests across the UK against "radical Islam".
Mr Robinson said it was still his aim to "counter Islamist ideology", although "not with violence but with better, democratic ideas".
Several senior figures have quit, but an EDL spokesman said the group "will not die because they're walking away".
...
He explained his motives for leaving, telling BBC Radio 5 live's Nicky Campbell: "When some moron lifts up his top and he's got the picture of a mosque saying 'boom' and it's all over the national newspapers, it's me, it's when I pick up my kids from school the parents are looking at me, judging me on that.
"And that's not what I've stood for and my decision to do this is to be true to what I stand for. And whilst I want to lead the revolution against Islamist ideology, I don't want to lead the revolution against Muslims.
"I believe that the revolution needs to come from within the Islamic community and they need to stand up. And I believe this is a step forward not a step back."[/quote]
stare into the abyss ect ect

Because the concept of the organisation itself attracts yobbo's and underclass Jeremy Kyle rejects.

Because retards can't pick up on the nuances of ideological beliefs, and as such can't distinguish the root of their dislike from the people that are associated with it?
It's not extremism if white people do it, then it's patriotism

Except nobody thinks the way you were making fun of. You were making fun of something that no one believes.

Yeah but its not like their viewpoint is popular, most people hate the EDL since they're all chavs who use it as an excuse to attack foreigners.
