English Defence League & the Surfing Rabbi demonstration London October 24th

anonymous | 20.10.2010 12:43 | Anti-racism | South Coast | World

The English Defence League are forging ever greater ties with Jewish communites. On October the 24th 2010 the EDL will be demonstrating in support of Israel alongside Rabbi Shifren the US schoolteacher known as the 'Surfing Rabbi.' The UAF & the MDL will be counter protesting the visiting Jews & EDL including the EDL Jewish Division who number around 100. EDL nationwide will be attending.

The Jewish Chronicle have covered the forthcoming EDL and the so called 'Surfing Rabbi' protest here

 http://www.thejc.com/news/uk-news/39434/the-english-defence-league-and-surfing-rabbi

The Muslim Defence League are a mirror group of the EDL. They sent an anti white racist threat to the Whitechapel Anarchists Group in June and have posted anti Semitic views on their facebook site. An innocent antifascist photographer was labelled EDL by the MDL who never printed an apology. The MDL is run by Axe Khabir currently of Maida Vale and Foisal Uddin currently of the Barking area of outer London.

The English Defence League are forming splinter groups. Tommy Robinson of Luton expelled key EDL members and some have since formed the North West Infidels, West midlands Infidels and other Infidels groups. John Snowy Shaw from Yorkshire, notorious for scaling a rooftop n Dudley for an EDL demo has left the EDL. He accused Tommy Robinson of taking £160,000 of monies from EDL members. He said that the money was from the EDL clothing and other merchandise. Snowy is involved with forming the new Infidels groups who are concentrated in the north and midlands areas of the UK.

More on Rabbi Nachum Shifren here

The creation of ties with Jewish groups appears to be a move away from the extreme elements of the right wing of the EDL. The EDL have always had a bond with Zionist groups ie the EDL Jewish division run by Roberta Moore from Brazil. The EDL are set to forge new bonds with Jewish communities as a result of their latest move to protest in favour of Israel. The EDL are also rumoured to be forming ties with the American Tea Party.

The UAF and EDL details for their protests on October 24th are on their respective websites.

20.10.2010 15:00

A dangerous man who left his victim with a permanent brain injury has been released from jail early and is taking part in EDL protests. Bernard Holmes, 25, formerly of Coleridge Street, Blackburn, was jailed for 2 years and 4 months for causing grievous bodily harm to Shaun Baxendale, who was left with catastrophic injuries in the unprovoked May 2009 attack.

Whitechapel Anarchists were punched by Asian gang and sent racist threat by MDL

20.10.2010 15:24

The MDL sent a threat to the WAG saying 'We Muslims dont want no white boy anarchists to fight our battle. Whitechapel is a Muslim area. They need to learn to stay out or they'll get the same as the pussy EDL. You gonna listen now Infidels?'
Four young anti racist WAG members were attacked by a gang of around 30 masked youths.

Muslim Defence League : "EDL are donkey's for the Jews"

20.10.2010 19:04

For most of the evening the Muslim Defence League have again permitted anti Semitism to go unchallenged. MDL members have written "EDL are donkey's for the Jews." The founder of the MDL [2010] stated on the Hindu Defence League facebook site that "Hindus shag donkeys." The Muslim Defence League are religiously predjudiced against Jews and Hindus.

The MDL should be investigated for racism

EDL are NOT forging greater ties with Jews

20.10.2010 21:25

The evidence presented here shows the opposite to what the article claims. Yes the EDL linked with a tiny handful of politically opportunistic, naive, extreme right-wing Jews (let's face it, there are nutters in every community) and just ONE very gullible Rabbi, who isn't even from the UK, but in fact what the Jewish Chronicle article proves is that the Jewish COMMUNITY in Britain want nothing to do with the EDL

Just to remind you all, when the EDL / SIOE protested against Harrow Mosque, Jewish councillor Jeremy Zeid and many Rabbis SUPPORTED the Muslim community and SUPPORTED Harrow Mosque -

A message to all British Muslims

20.10.2010 21:43

The MDL are not beyond criticism by any means, but readers should beware of EDL organiser Jeff Marsh constantly posting on Indymedia trying to start shit between Muslims and Jews, and trying to start shit between Muslims and anarchists. There are a TINY number of (non-British and very gullible) Jews like Pamela Geller and Matthew Kaplan, who've emerged from state of near total political naivete, and decided to respond to some kind of personal tragedy by hurling themselves into political movements the complexities of which they just don't understand; but if intelligent, well-informed Muslims want to learn what intelligent, well-informed Jews really think of the EDL they should be aware that all the major, mainstream British Jewish groups all know full-well that the EDL is a Fascist front. Here's the proof....

Put it this way, if the Israeli ambassador comes out of the Israeli embassy and physically embraces EDL activists Jeff Marsh and Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, hugs them warmly, and invites them inside for champagne and canapes to thank the EDL for supporting Israel, then I'll eat my hat; but if the Israeli embassy leave the EDL out on the pavement then it's safe to assume that, like Geert Wilders, the Israelis want nothing whatsoever to do with the EDL because they know the EDL are at core very much a bunch of racist cunts

Jews supporting the Palestinian cause

20.10.2010 22:06





The screen-cap shown above does NOT prove that MDL members have written "EDL are donkey's for the Jews" - what it proves is that someone called Al Asad has written "EDL are donkey's for the Jews" - no proof has been offered that this person has anything to do with the MDL. The photos here however show even ultra-religious Jews support the Palestinian cause and show EDL revealing their true Anti-Semitism. This is not the black-and-white issue EDL trolls want Muslims to believe it is as people decide their political allegiances according to personal convictions and not according to simplistic racial stereotypes

Now listen here!

The MDL are racist cunts. They don't need Jeff Marsh to stir shit, they are managing perfectly well all by themselves. Jeff Marsh isn't one of 30 masked Asian youths who chased and punched the Whitechapel Anarchists who were also sent anti white racist messages by MDL. WAG know it was Muslim youth who chased and punched them and not Jeff Marsh wearing fake tan and a jilbab. Facebook messages against WAG were circulated by Asian youths and not by Jeff Marsh prior to the attack. If 30 EDL had chased and punched 4 Asian lads this would be quite rightly seen as a dispicable act. Not all Asian youth are MDL. Few are MDL in fact. The MDL are giving Muslim youth a bad name and they are managing that without the help of Jeff Marsh.

Muslim Defence League anti Semitism, more of it.

21.10.2010 06:43

Syed Bokhari, a Muslim of the Muslim Defence League United We Stand Divided We Fall tried to put a stop to the MDL run by Foisal Uddin. Syed pointed out that Foisal had written disgusting things about Jews and Hindus. Foisal Uddin writes under a number of aliases and is a racist. When the founding leading member of a group is a Jew hating, Hindu hating, whites hating racist then the rest of the group will likely follow suit. Muslims from the other MDL know what he is like. He has threatened to hit their female members and has another pet hate, women. Where the London EDL protest is concerned The MDL [run by Foisal] shied away from any publicity against the London EDL demonstration until they found out that the the UAF and the other MDL are going who they can hide amongst. This is typical cowardice. A 'man' who sees fit to threaten women but won't stand up to the EDL unless the UAF are there. Genuine anti racists would be better off joining the UAF the other MDL or forming another group.
The MDL run by Foisla Uddin state that "EDL members should be treated with respect" but are happy to threaten to hit Muslim women like Chloe, a white maried Muslim convert. The MDL leadership is rotten to the core and other Muslims know it. Foisal Uddin hates Shia Muslims. He sees being a Shia as committing idolatry. He threatened to smash a Shia Muslim in the face with a picture of Ali. He wrote as Habib Islam Ali and told Danielle Smith that she probably deserved to die for being a Shia. He has a problem with Shias. Prior to the last protest against the EDL The MDL run by Foisal sent MDL members on a wild goose chase to the wong part of Liecester where there was no protest. Innocent Muslim youths who had gone there for a protest and not for fights were left wandering around and wondering why there was no protest having followed the directions of Foisal's MDL.
There are more anti Jewish comments on Foisal's MDL.

 http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2010/10/464466.html

Whether or not Foisal is a Muslim or Asian he is every bit as racist as any Combat 18 member. He has written against Shias, Hindus and Jews and threatens women.

Foisal Uddin

This is a photo of Foisal Uddin taken from a protest in Bradford with two young female MDL members. All decent Muslims should ask the MDL to disband and to stay away from Sunday's protest.

A Rabbi has had a red linr drawn through his photo by antisemitic MDL

21.10.2010 08:21


Rabbi Shifren a schoolteacher from the US has had a red line drawn through his photo by the MDL. This alongside the numerous antisemitic comments made by MDL members is proving the group to be antisemitic. When the EDL claim that "the racists are nothing to do with them" no one believs it and no one should believe that the MDL are not antisemitic because they are. The MDL have sent racist threats to the Whitechapel Anarchists. They hate white people and Jews.
Close them down and fast.
