The EDL disturbs me a great deal.
The claim to be against Islamic extremism (and in a way they are) but whenever they're mentioned, it's almost always to do with muslims as an entire group (not just the small extremist minority) and have often been seen as just out and out racist (and I mean literally giving Nazi salutes)
Personally, I have no real problem with immigration of any race, nationality or religion and the idea that we're being invaded by extremist Islammis extremely naive and short sighted, especially as, other than looking for work, the majority were fleeing the kind of persecution that they're often accused of supporting.
Islam is in many ways as ideologically diverse as Christianity (they even share the same history as Abrahamic faiths. Jesus is considered a prominent and good figure in Islam) so I hope the EDL leave the good, decent moderate Muslims (and anyone of any ethic minority) alone.
*sigh* That's my, leftist liberal rant done with.
