Police in central London are on the alert today amid fears of more violence between anti-Islam protesters and Muslims.

Hundreds of supporters of the right-wing English Defence League are expected to descend on Trafalgar Square today.

Tensions were simmering yesterday after a Cabinet minister raised fears of a return to 1930s fascism, comparing modern right-wing groups to Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts.

Communities Secretary John Denham's comments came as he announced a drive to prevent white working class people being 'exploited' by extremists.

He singled out protests being organised by the English Defence League, some of which have turned violent over recent months.

Would not be the first time Europe and Islam fought.

Hmmm! Denham! Wasn't O's mother Stanley Ann Denham? Any kin?

This angst over the "right" is sadly misplaced. There should have been angst about the rabid muzzies taking over huge parts of UK--more and sooner angst.

They are worried about possible Christian based fascism when they ALREADY are under threat by ISlAMIC FASCISM? What, do some of these people have a death wish?

It is just the beginning. Muslims pushed much too far over there.

Cowardly comment on the online paper.

As I British, white, male who lives in Harrow I see the SIOE to be just stirring up unneccessary trouble. Immigration does need addressing, sensibly, but this is just deliberate race hate dressed up as a modern crusade. Most of these right-wing protesters are the people that are the hooligans of the 1980s, lets hope they can be marginalised to.

He warned them.

“Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyzes the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step.” — Sir Winston Churchill - circa 1899

So did this guy.

“The sword of Muhammad and the Quran are the most fatal enemies of civilization, liberty, and the truth which the world has yet known.” - The eminent orientalist Sir William Muir (1819-1905)

I was curious as to why the article refers to the anti-Islamic protesters as "facist". Are they actually saying these guys fit some technical definition, or are they just using the word to insult them as George Orwell once explained:

The word ‘Fascism’ is almost entirely meaningless. In conversation, of course, it is used even more wildly than in print. I have heard it applied to farmers, shopkeepers, Social Credit, corporal punishment, fox-hunting, bull-fighting, the 1922 Committee, the 1941 Committee, Kipling, Gandhi, Chiang Kai-Shek, homosexuality, Priestley's broadcasts, Youth Hostels, astrology, women, dogs and I do not know what else... almost any English person would accept ‘bully’ as a synonym for ‘Fascist’. – George Orwell, What is Fascism?. 1944.

"The UK is lost. Churchill must be rolling in his grave."

Yep. The Liberals have screwed up the country beyond repair. Those leftards are so backwards, they are calling right wing conservatives "fascists"? Incredible. It will be interesting when the Mohammadans start on those leftards.

After reading this, I think the protesters should be targeting the British government. It’s turncoats and appeasers like this minister that are the source of their problems - the islamists are just the symptoms.
