    No sorry, try again. As previously demonstrated your arguments hold absolutely no water when analysed properly. Race is not the same catergory as class. Class is a structural phenomenon quite specific to capitalism. It's an economic category. Working class people (or proletarians as Marxists called them) are in the class they are in, and subordinate to the ruling class (or bourgeoisie, to use the Marxist term) because they have no choice but to work for a living, or simply die. Your class is defined by the capacity in which you work, and by your relations to the means of production (i.e. factories, tools, offices -- basically anything that capitalist owns, whilst the proletarian does not.) Race is biologically determined; it's not a category specifically in correlation with a historical epoch.

    THIS IS WHY YOU AND YOUR ORGANISATION IS RACIST: Opposing Islamic-extremism in itself is not explicitly racist, but the way in which the EDL, and BNP actually, does it is racist. They oppose Islam in such a way that it excludes opposition to any other faith. When you do a bit of research and find out that every other religion has extremists, and every other religion should be condemned for being dogmatic and demagogic then you find that every religion should be opposed equally. You exclude Islamism simply because your intolerant, ignorant racists. Your inciting hatred against ordinary people, who clearly aren't terrorist, and who clearly don't want to implement Sharia law nationwide. Your also inciting hatred and violence against a people that a targeted a million times worse because the media stirs up a horrible jingoistic sentiment against the purported theat immigrants and "Muslim extremists", when in fact, with a Muslim population of 2.8% in Britain, there's really no threat at all.
    Firstly I havnt mentioned class. I mentioned Idioligy and both Islamism and Capitalism are exactly that. ''Race is biologically determined'' Yes your right and would you say Islamism is biologically determined? Im not against Muslims (I cant believe i have to keep going over this) just extremists...

    No, dont YOU understand that that doesnt make me racist? Which RACE am i discriminating against? I feel you are only using the word as a defence for your argument and you dont seem to fully understand what it means...which is sad. Im not against all muslims, Neither am I against Islam. So using your logic the British armed forces are racist because there opposing Sharia and extremism but because there only fightign muslim extremism and not extremism on the wider spectrum...they must ALL be racist...
    Ok fine, if that's your beef: you're a close-minded bigot. It's simply a matter of semantics.
    Both for the production on a mass scale of this communist consciousness, and for the success of the cause itself, the alteration of men on a mass scale is, necessary, an alteration which can only take place in a practical movement, a revolution; this revolution is necessary, therefore, not only because the ruling class cannot be overthrown in any other way, but also because the class overthrowing it can only in a revolution succeed in ridding itself of all the muck of ages and become fitted to found society anew

    Can people please be a bit more gentle? He's only come here to ask some questions and everyone is jumping on him and accusing him of being things he isn't. All we are gonna do is make him assume that anyone on the left will never talk to him as an equal, but as though they are better than him. Don't attack him, reason with him and put your points across fairly. Attacking someone who come in peace is only gonna strength there resolve against you.

    Remind me again, how many muslim members does the EDL have.

    Grab your coat mate, i think youre about to ride the bancannon.
    1 as I know. There more than welcome and even encouraged. If we turned them of the busses or excluded them from demos I think you may have a leg to stand on. Sorry but we welcome them so you dont...

    Yes, I can't believe I keep on having to go over this. It's the whole reason why you're a bigot, racist, or whatever you want to call it. Of the minority of Muslims in Britain (1.6 million, roughly) how many of them do you think are "extremists" and want to implement worldwide Sharia law? 1.6 million? Think again; it's probably about 16.

    Sorry, to you and to EDL in peace, it's late at night and I'm grumpy. I'll try and be more polite.

    We want EDL supporters to come here and question why we don't like the organisation and show them that if they wanna change their country there is another way. I don't think anyone on here agrees with islamic fundermentalisim or any religion at all. But we can't just jump on someone. We have to explain the alternatives.

    Your wrong. The govenment figure for 2001 was set at about 3 million'ish. ''Four out of 10 British Muslims want sharia law introduced into parts of the country, a survey reveals today.'' source: the teligraph but I cant seem to able to post the link- You might just have to take my word for it or find it yourself

    Sorry but I see that as radical...

    No actually: I got my statistics from the 2001 census here: http://www.statistics.gov.uk/cci/nugget.asp?id=954 which puts it at 1.6 million. At any rate, 3 million is still a tiny portion. I would like to see a statistic on how many Christians want homophobic laws put into legislation.

    Islamism has existed as long as islam so thats wrong mate
    This is dead wrong

    "Islamic Fundamentalism" or "political Islam" has only existed since about the 1950's. Of course, there were always fundamentalists, but before the 50's they were basically a small pack of psychotics that no one paid any attention to.

    "Islamism" came to prominence after countries like the U.S. began to get heavily involved in the affairs of Middle Eastern countries. And by that I mean "intentionally destabilizing Middle Eastern countries and giving a lot of material support to theocratic lunatics".

    Anyway the thing is the EDL seems to think that "Islamism" is an actual threat (which is ludicrous), and thanks to their dumb fear of imaginary monsters, immigrants to Britain are singled out and targeted, whether it's intentional or whether you realize it or not.

    If its an ideology then please explain why im a racist for opposing it. I think most religion is based on weakness but its still dangerous
    It is not wrong to oppose it. The problem is that you wouldn't oppose it that much if the muslims were predominantly white. Then they would just be seen as a weird christian-like cult. The scary thing about "those pesky muslims" for a lot of people is that they look differently. But nowadays, its not allowed to dislike people openly for looking different, so culture is a convenient scapegoat.

    Islamism is a quite small current amongst the muslims in Britain, though it has gone inflated recently due to racism.

    ''Race is biologically determined''
    I also have to correct both you and Lyev. Race is socially determined, based on a set of arbitrary physical characteristics. People may have different skin colors, face-shapes, and that kind of thing, but the distinction between white people and black people as different "races" of people is completely arbitrary.

    Yes, I see. Do you mean that there's certain stereotypes that society thinks people of a certain colour should have to fit into? I just wanted to make the Marxist view very clear; class is not the same as race or sex. We're not "racist" to the bourgeoisie or some stupid bollocks like that.

    revleft has a no platform for fascists policy.

    Last time i checked, the consensus was that the EDL is a fascist group.
