EDL Division Tries To Scare Public About UK Muslim Population!

The EDL regularly like to preach the concept that Islam or Muslims are ‘taking over’. Earlier this month, the EDL’s Stockport Division decided to post a status highlighting the rise in population.

Comparison of given statistics and statistics from UK consensuses

1. Birmingham: The Division claimed Birmingham has a Muslim population of 28% BUT the 2012 results have not been released and the last UK consensus said 14.3%
2. Bradford: The Division claimed Bradford has a Muslim population of 36% BUT the 2012 results have not been released and the last UK consensus said 16.08%
3. Leicester: The Division claimed Leicester has a Muslim population of 22% BUT the 2012 results have not been released and the last UK consensus said 11.0%
4. Greater London: The Division claimed Greater London has a Muslim population of 17% BUT the  2012 results have not been released and the last UK consensus said 8.3%
5. Luton: The Division claimed Luton has a Muslim population of 28% BUT the 2012 results have not been released and the last UK consensus said 14.6%

The EDL’s given figures are incorrect

The Stockport Division failed to provide the source of these statistics and they forgot how the 2012 consensus results haven’t even been released yet. We can see that the EDL’s statistics are way out of league and the figures of Muslims are greatly over-exaggerated!

A look at the status clearly indicates its copy and pasted.

The fake statistics posted prior to a EDL demo

This is a blatant example of fear mongering and a really bad one at that.
