Harrow Dec 13 - SIOE supports War Criminals Video

The Stop Islamisation of Europe campaign set-up by Stephen Gash and Anders Gravers has called another protest against Harrow Mosque for Dec 13, and SIOE claim they're are not extremists, not racists, and that SIOE oppose Fascism. When SIOE took over an earlier English Defence League protest against Harrow Mosque on Sept 11, the only support SIOE received came from protestors from the EDL and BNP. SIOE state that "SIOE encourages football supporters who oppose Islamic extremism to join the EDL and other Defence Leagues to campaign in their unique way" (1) - "unique way" meaning EDL was formed by football hooligans, people who define their lifestyle around a love of violence. EDL founders include known BNP activists, BNP publicity director Mark Collett praised Hitler and National Socialism, and EDL protestors gave Nazi salutes in Birmingham, Swansea, Manchester and Harrow. So, are SIOE closet extremists?

On the SIOE website, in an article called "Multiculturalism Is The Worst Idea That We Have Ever Had" (2) SIOE parrot the BNP party-line about what they see as the failure of multiculturalism, describing confrontations between a (quote) "Jewish friend" and Palestinian protestors as evidence of that alleged failure, without realising that the "Jewish friend" would not be able to practice his religion in the West were it not for the overall success of multiculturalism. SIOE are so desperate to smear multiculturalism that they even stoop to speculating that crimes of a Canadian serial-killer called Marc Lepine "could" (sic) "have been Islamic religious oriented". In fact there is no evidence of any religious motive in Lepine's crimes, and the only evidence of any connection between Lepine and Islam was his Christian mother's relationship with his non-practicing Muslim father. Lepine was baptized as a Catholic, but never received any religious instruction and grew up to be "a confirmed atheist" (3).

Most disgusting of all is an SIOE text called "The Extraordinary Rendition of Radovan Karadzic" (4). The SIOE website says that "SIOE support Serbian Kosovo", and says Serbian war crimes suspect Radovan Karadzic cannot receive a fair trial for allegedly butchering innocent Muslim and Croat men, women and CHILDREN in Sarajevo and Srebrenica (5) because "the history of Muslim oppression of Serbs during the Ottoman Empire and the fear of the return of such persecution will not be allowed in Karadzic's defence". SIOE's logic is as psychotic as it is delusional. All sides committed disgusting crimes in the Bosnian conflict and sensible people condemn them all, but responsibility for killing civilians cannot ever be mitigated or justified by any act those civilians weren't personally responsible for, or by any act carried out by an Empire that ceased to exist in 1923. During the Srebrenica massacre it's estimated over 7,500 people were killed (6). During the attack on Sarajevo it's estimated nearly 10,000 people were killed, including 1,500 children, and that 56,000 people were wounded, including 15,000 children (7).
