Dominoes Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 No evidence the official edl did it at all more like just a few racist toerags! Which is not what the edl actually are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenRivers Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 which is why i think it was nothing to do with the edl, nf or the kkk. what crosser said, probably It was definitely the KKK, I'm always seeing men in white robes near mosques. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, it's interesting that some posters choose to highlight the possibility of the act having not been carried out by Islamophobes rather than denouncing the act itself, irrespective of who's responsible for it.

maxmaximus Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hereford-worcester-23059542 Another Mosque has been attacked, racists graffiti such as Swastikas and EDL was spray painted causing thousands of pounds worth of damage along with various expensive equipment stolen. The Swastikacrux is one of the oldest symbols. It has been used for thousands of years in nearly every culture as a positive sign of luck. The Swastika is used in Islamic art and is also seen in Christian and Byzantine Empire art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt the vandalisers of this mosque have an erudite understanding of the interpretations of the Swastika motif. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingus Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 "BBC WM reporter Michelle Dawes, who was at the scene, said swastikas had been sprayed in blue paint, along with the initials EDL, NF, KKK" From the linked article. So it was the Klan! ---------- Post added 28-06-2013 at 21:43 ---------- I doubt the vandalisers of this mosque have an erudite understanding of the interpretations of the Swastika motif. The Swastika was the original trade mark of Calrlsberg Brewery. So the perpetrators could have been old lager louts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natjack Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I don't buy the "lack of intelligence" comment Chris. (cut for space) Do you get the impression from certain people on here, and in the chattering classes generally, that saying that people are unintelligent or knuckle dragging Neanderthals when they refuse to go along with the line that everything in the garden is rosy, is somehow comforting to them? A written equivalent to going "lalalalalala, I can't hear you". It's as though they either never come into contact with any other people than their own friends who agree with them, or if they do, they wilfully refuse to sense the undercurrent that's going on all the time with quite ordinary, unbigoted people. They really need to get out there and listen, because something is brewing and it's not going to be pretty for anyone if it ever comes to a head. The British are a laid back and longsuffering nation, but when they think their backs are against the wall, and they're not getting a fair go, that's when it all kicks off.
