It’s actually pretty funny what some of these people can find to be afraid of. We live in a national security state where the government claims the power to imprison people forever without access to due process, or even assassinate them for reasons they do not have to disclose, and that’s just fine. But Islamic finance? Existential threat.

Calling them delusional bedwetters deeply understates the case….

Ironic blogging will be the death of democracy. All you folks who sit by your laptops give folks the feeling of intelectual superiority, and that in turn leads to a lack of real action. Where is the counter-movement to Pamela Geller?

“The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.”

Self-identifying Jews backing fascist organizations. What the hell is going on with America and Britain??!!

The English Defence League, a far-right grouping aimed at combating the “Islamification” of British cities, has developed strong links with the American Tea Party movement.

An Observer investigation has established that the EDL has made contact with anti-jihad groups within the Tea Party organisation and has invited a senior US rabbi and Tea Party activist to London this month. Rabbi Nachum Shifren, a regular speaker at Tea Party conventions, will speak about Sharia law and also discuss funding issues.

The league has also developed links with Pamela Geller, who was influential in the protests against plans to build an Islamic cultural centre near Ground Zero. Geller, darling of the Tea Party’s growing anti-Islamic wing, is advocating an alliance with the EDL. The executive director of the Stop Islamisation of America organisation, she recently met EDL leaders in New York and has defended the group’s actions, despite a recent violent march in Bradford.

…

Shifren, a Californian senate candidate, said Britain’s Jewish community should rally behind the EDL: “The Jewish community is paralysed with fear, exactly what most radical Muslim agitators want. The people of England are in the forefront of this war – and it is a war. One of the purposes of this visit is to put the kibosh on the notion in the Jewish community that they cannot co-operate with the EDL, which is rubbish.”
