Enforcing Islamic Blasphemy Laws in Tower Hamlets

Last Saturday supporters of the English Defence League marched across Tower Bridge in London and staged a demonstration at the very edge of the Borough of Tower Hamlets, the most notoriously enriched neighborhood of East London.

After the demo EDL leader Tommy Robinson was arrested “for breaching section 14 of the Public Order Act 1986 and inciting others to breach section 14 of the Public Order Act 1986.” I assume that means he ran afoul of this provision:

If the senior police officer, having regard to the time or place at which and the circumstances in which any public assembly is being held or is intended to be held, reasonably believes that — (a) it may result in serious public disorder, serious damage to property or serious disruption to the life of the community…

In other words, Tommy and his associates — as he pointed out in his speech — are being repeatedly arrested because the police cannot do their duty and prevent violent attacks against a lawful and peaceable assembly of native English citizens.

Below is the entirety of the speech Tommy gave that day. Many thanks to Vlad Tepes for uploading this video:

Here’s a brief news story about Tommy’s arrest:

FROM @EDLTROBINSON ON TWITTER: (about 10 hours ago)

Over 160 people were arrested for a variety of offences after the far-right group’s march through central London yesterday.

Most of the arrests were for breaching the conditions police had set down for where the rally could take place, and included people from rival anti-racist and anti-fascist groups who were prohibited from coming in to contact with the EDL’s route.

  1. Tommy Robinson has been ordered not to enter colonies in Britain surrendered, by the very “democratic and civilized” government of Britain, to Muslims.

  2. Is the choice of the court in Tower Hamlets a deliberate attempt to intimidate Robinson, or even worse, put his life in danger?

    There is something very devious in this appointed court hearing.

    I hope there are plenty of EDL supporters protecting Tommy on the 22nd October.

  3. Following message was removed from ‘the Guardian’:

    What constitutes Islam an ideology !?

    This can be easily verified on the internet and is a collective and social responsibility :

    http://alisina.org
    http://formermuslimsunited.org/resources/groups-and-websites/
    http://www.jihadwatch.org
    http://thereligionofpeace.com

    Or do your own searches; ‘truth about islam’ and ‘ex muslim websites’.

    With the internet at hands it almost becomes a crime to remain ignorant concerning Islam and oppose those who choose to actively resist a total intolerant ideology towards ‘infidels’.

    We do have a simple choice; Be informed and resist or become a willful victim!
