EXPOSED: EDL Spread Fake Hoax

The English Defence League (EDL) has been known to misinform and even lie to the public. And here is the perfect example.

The fake hoax of an obnoxious airline passenger

A story has circulated the web for years, telling of an obnoxious person who didn’t want to sit next to another person on a plane. Early stories report of a black man refusing to sit next to a white woman, and also the other way round. The Hoax-Slayer website (here) writes:
Quote: “While the story has recently resurfaced on Facebook, versions of the tale have circulated since at least 1998 and have been set on several different airlines in several countries. There is no evidence that the incident described actually took place on any airline.” 
“While it may be uplifting, it is almost certainly a work of fiction. In fact, dozens of different versions of the story have circulated, by word-of-mouth, email and, more lately, via social media posts for well over a decade.”
The EDL spread the hoax

The EDL Leeds Division made up their own version of the fake story, and made the man into a Muslim, perhaps so it could help the EDL make Muslims look like the ‘bad guys’, as usual. Also notice how the word ‘unpleasant’ is capitalized.


Other EDL groups follow suit

As expected, other EDL Divisions blindly followed suit and shared the whole story. These included the Welsh Defence League (WDL), the Northampton DivisionWinchester DivisionWiltshire Division, Dorset Division, Weymouth Division and the Southampton Division.


The EDL has been exposed as untrustworthy sources of information.

EDL Exploit Girls Once Again

Previously on our blog, we wrote about how the English Defence League (EDL) have been using pictures of underage girls for their cause.

The Yorkshire EDL Leeds Division has been at it once again, sharing a picture of a young girl that reads the usual EDL propaganda-rhetoric: ‘Please fight Islam for me’. This was a recent post, as displayed on the time-stamp.


Note: Unlike the EDL, we had the decency to hide most of the girls face.

This is now the fourth time we have wrote about how the EDL has exploited young girls for their benefit. Please find our previous articles below.

EDL Leader Does Fraud... EDL Want Money

Groups such as the English Defence League (EDL) would probably be the last place you’d want to leave your money, seriously.

The EDL leader Tommy Robinson was arrested for mortgage fraud, and yet, the EDL and their allies are wanting money for his ‘legal funds’.


But the EDL has asked for various donations in the past for causes that don’t exactly make sense (here), and even the Sikh Defence League leader has been under fire for not giving back owed money (here).

Hence, people should be very wary as to who the money goes to. There is no assurance where donated money goes and what it is used on. There is no transparency in finances.


The EDL leader being arrested for fraud hits the last nail in the coffin.

Update:

Far-right Islamophobic ‘loonsRobert Spencer from JihadWatch, and Pamela Geller of AtlasShrugs, close allies of the EDL leader, have urged people to donate.

According to a September 2010 Politico investigation David Horowitz’s Freedom Center has channelled at least $1 million to Robert Spencer’s JihadWatch over the past three years. You’d probably think that these two would be able to pay for Robinson’s ‘legal funds’ themselves.

The Deceptive Nigerian Defence League

The English Defence League (EDL) has some international support groups. Another bad one we found was the Nigerian Defence League and in this article, we will prove that the admin of it manipulated people.

The group posted a ‘supposed’ verse from the Quran (two times), claiming the book said ‘Israel will rise and will remain erect until it eliminates Islam.’



But we at EDLReview did some research and found that no such verses exist! The real passages between ‘Surah Imran’ in verses 109-111 say something else (see here). The quote the admin shared is a small piece from the Hamas Charter.

Clearly, the admin is a fool. He/she even posted it two times, so this wasn’t a typo. This was just an epic FAIL.


Unsurprisingly, it seems like this group is not run by anyone in Nigeria, as the posts are highly similar to those posted and shared by EDL groups in the UK.

Atlasshrugs And Pamela Geller Go Loony!

[Guest post]

Islamophobic ‘activist’ Pamela Geller has a close relationship with the English Defence League (EDL) leadership. Just as EDL leader Tommy Robinson got arrested for mortgage fraud, Geller is trying hard to stick up for him.

She hates Islam so much she will go through any attempt to try to make everything look like Islam’s fault. Her case is so severe that if a man fell down the stairs, she would blame it on the most “Muslim-looking” stair.


The most recent loony post of hers (regurgitated on Robert Spencer’s JihadWatch) pleas with people to help the EDL leader out of prison, even though he was rightly arrested for fraud.

Geller labels his treatment in prison as ‘sharia inspired victimisation’, also claiming (without proof) that he is wearing the ‘same clothes’ and eating ‘slops’.


Why is this particularly ‘sharia inspired’? Is the law enforcement forcing him to pray or perhaps eat halal against his will? Are the prison officials refusing him leave because he simply isn’t converting? Not at all. There’s nothing Islamic in this.

As usual, Geller is making it out like it’s Islam’s fault, and as usual, it’s hilarious.

EDL Leader Tommy Robinson Arrested For Fraud

The English Defence League (EDL) leader Tommy Robinson has been charged with mortgage fraud. So on top of being an anti-Muslim bigot and all-around Islamophobe, he’s also a suspected criminal who loves committing fraud through the tactic of false representation.


He was among six people to be charged following a fraud investigation by the Bedfordshire police force and face charges including fraud, money-laundering and possession of drugs with intent to supply.

Tommy Robinson is accused of three counts of conspiracy to commit fraud by false representation in relation to a mortgage application.

These charges are separate from the investigation relating to his prosecution for illegally entering the U.S. to attend Islamophobes Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer’s SION conference in New York in September 2012.

EDL West Midlands Infidels Blatant RACISM

The West Midlands Infidels is a splinter group of the extremist English Defence League (EDL) and posts up rather silly and uneducated posts on Facebook.

In this status, the admin sings a unfunny song about Muslims drowning, how Pakistanis smell, and how Polish people are after everyone’s jobs.


What’s strange is that some people think this is acceptable.

EDL Guramit Singh’s Blatant RACISM

The Sikh branch of the English Defence League (EDL), known as the Sikh Defence League, does not stand for the Sikh community of Britain and will never do so.

It’s leader Guramit Singh, has been known to be racist and intolerant towards others (he has even been arrested for it). In the BBC Three documentary below, audio footage shows him secretly referring to other South Asians as “P*kis”.


Sikh leaders and citizens in the country have condemned the Sikh Defence League.

Sikh Defence League Leader Under Fire

The English Defence League (EDL) houses a few Sikhs. By a few, we actually mean a few.

Recently, the controversial spokesperson of the EDL, Guramit Singh, has been under fire by other parts of the far-right, including the West Midlands Infidels.

Supposedly, he owes one of them a lot of money, and hasn’t paid it back. Unite the right? We think not.

EDL Approve Of Connecticut Shooters Actions?

Adam Lanza massacred more than 25 people at a school in Connecticut recently. He is thought to have turned up at the school where his mother worked, killed her then went on to massacre a classroom full of young children.

After the event, the English Defence League (EDL) posted what seems to be a tweet that seems to approve of this murderers actions.


The tweet was reportedly deleted minutes after it was posted but several Twitter users screenshot it before it disappeared.

The EDL of course claim the tweet is ‘fake’, but even so, there have been many EDL supporters (and Divisions) who have sympathised with the actions of murderers before this incident. Below are some disgusting examples.
