A leader in the movement protesting plans to build an Islamic cultural center two blocks from Ground Zero in lower Manhattan is defending the actions of a right-wing, anti-Muslim group that was involved in violent clashes with British riot police over the weekend.

"The stated goal of the EDL is to oppose militant Islam and the sharia,"

That is what she is supporting. Not Islam as a whole. She may very well be ignorant for protesting against having a mosque built, but she is defending the goals of that organization (not the hatred of Islam). I mean really, your attempt(s) at trying to make the right look bad are getting quite lame.

I mean shit, I dislike militant Islam too and the sharia......please, that shit would never fly here.

Welll if you read the whole thing, she goes on to defend the EDL, despite (so far) evidence saying they started the whole thing. And even further moves to say that Jewish groups, which boycott rallies by the SOIE, are "aiding and abetting" Jihad.

She basically said some of the mainstream Jewish groups in Britain are for Jihad and extremists

Like RL said, read the whole article and consume it, then you would have read this...........

The EDL's own explanation of what happened in Bradford is here. As you can see from that statement, a group of Islamic supremacists and Communists actually began the violence by throwing rocks at EDL members. White supremacists at the demonstration did not represent the EDL, and EDL members actually removed them from the demonstration."
British media reports—including accounts from outlets known for their conservative political slants—and official police statements on the Bradford clashes do not offer much support for, and in some cases contradict, the account offered by the EDL. In an official chronology of last Saturday's events posted on the Web site of the West Yorkshire Police, the first reference to violence is a 2:30 p.m. entry that says: "Missiles have been thrown in the area around the Bradford Urban Gardens, however, this has been contained and the police are utilising their resources to manage the current situation."

Bradford Urban Gardens is the location at which U.K. authorities had allowed the EDL to stage its rally; a left-wing counterdemonstration was booked a half mile away. (The EDL had wanted to conduct a march through the city, but authorities denied permission.)
