Proud and Prejudiced.

(This post was last modified: February 25, 2012 at 1:08 pm by Nine.)
Film coming to channel 4 (U.K) Monday 10pm. Its about Islamic extremist groups and Anti-Islamic groups inside the U.K. Thought i would let people know in case your interested.
More info:
http://www.channel4.com/programmes/proud-and-prejudiced
"Tommy Robinson is the leader of the EDL. Sayful Islam heads a group of Muslim extremists. They're both from Luton. This film tells the story of the local feud that has become a national drama."
For those who don't know who EDL are:
EDL (English defense league) - I don't know much about them. I bumped a bunch inadvertently in Bolton once. Skin head types. Very violent and very passionately anti-Islam. And my opinion of them was they are more than a bit thick..

For those outside the U.K might be able to try find it for you after its released if you want to watch.

One group of nutbags has a beef with a competing group of nutbags, I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

At least it keeps them busy while they fuss over each other. That way they leave everyone else alone.

Perhaps, as Min has so often suggested, they'll deal with each other so that we don't have to.

I think in the least it must distract them from causing too much harm.

Most times I get to feeling like the US has all the nuts, but then you guys bring me a story like this and everything is right in the world again.

Regretfully I can't honestly comment. I know as much about the EDL as I do the WDL. Bugger all.
