As the race they want to be "single and unified" is that of the English, who are a throughly mixed up mess of Viking, French, Celtic, Roman and Germanic peoples. The hypocracy, it hurts!

Thats ignoring the racist overtones of it all.

Racist overtones? Explain, again.

Wiki describes the EDL as belonging to the following types:

   Anti-Muslim,[1][2][3] anti-Islamism, anti-sharia law

Well we understand that, how does it add to any argument? We realise they are Anti-Muslim. What's your point in other words?

Having been raised as an immigrant in the UK (ages 10-18), and then going back, all I have to say is that I'm 100% behind nativist movements in Britain. Seriously. Sort it out.

Multiculturalism is, and has always been a disaster. You need to stop giving so many incentives for immigrants to stay. I'm not advocating pursuing them out in the way the EDL does (who I think are a bunch of thugs), but you need to drop the benefits and stop giving British citizenship so easily - if at all. Coming from an immigrant. Sort your shit out Britain.

Ethnic cleansing is almost always racist.

Cleansing implies killing, die to most modern uses of the term. I don't think they want to kill, just deport. Still, how is it racist? Muslim isn't a race.

Replace every instance of "racist" with "prejudice", then.  Nothing changes.

The EDL discriminates or attempts to marginalize based on race, culture and faith. Racism? Yep.

No, it attempts to remove. They won't get discriminated against Becuase they'll be in their own country, surrounded by people of a similar culture. The EDL is fighting against racism/prejudice!

Its not just muslims, its immigrants, aka brown people.

And no, ethnic cleansing does not necessarily imply killing. Genocide implies killing. Ethnic cleansing includes all methods of force, threat and economic action to remove an ethnicity from a location.

And there are muslims being murdered by guys like these.

What is this EDL garbage? UK, you're supposed to be America's classier and more mature older sibling. You.... you're not allowed to have bigoted nationalist groups who want to deport all the dirty mudbloods les they soil your culture. This "White Pride" garbage is our bag.

But seriously, I'm disappointed to learn that we Americans don't have a monopoly on ignorance and prejudice. Only slightly more than I'm disappointed to see community members condoning it here.

Calling it "thier own country" when thier nation of birth and residence is the UK for many cases is exactly the attitude that earns the EDL a bad name.

How singing out specific ethnic or racial groups and targetting abusive behaviour (which is basically thier sole means of operation at the moment) towards them is fighting against racism and prejudice is lost on me - if anything, they are promoting such behaviour.

Do you have any idea how ridiculous that statement is?

We are fighting racism through enforced segregation and deportation by threats and acts of violence against minorities!

And there are Muslims being murdered by Muslims, there are whites being killed by whites... There are Muslims killing whites... And once more, how can you cleanse an ethnicity if it's not an ethnicity?

Yes, the Mideast has no prejudice or bigotry! No national scale bigotry here! Nope nope nope!

No, it actually works. People have no pretext for racism if they are the same race. Also, see above.

See above, racism will not occur if there are no different races in the same nation.
