[QUOTE="SachaSingh, post: 141622, member: 14363"] [B][U]Major Sikh and Hindu Organisations Condemn English Defence League (EDL)[/U][/B] Sikh and Hindu politicians, community leaders and organisations have joined together to condemn the racist English Defence League. The EDL is a violent racist organisation that particularly targets Muslims. It has links with the British National Party and other fascists groups. It has attempted to recruit a handful of token Asian, black and Jewish members in a feeble bid to camouflage its racism, and has attempted to stir up anti-Muslim hatred among other religious groups. [B] United[/B] But Sikh and Hindu organisations and activists have signed a statement condemning the EDL. They make it clear that people from all communities and religious groups should not be taken in by the EDL and should stand united against racists and fascists. The signatories include councillor Lakhbir Singh, the former mayor of Luton who was attacked last year after racists went on the [COLOR=#0000ff]rampage[/COLOR] in the town. The statement says:[INDENT]We, the undersigned, are deeply concerned by the rise in fascism, Islamophobia, antisemitism and racism. The English Defence League (EDL) has organised events across the country, stirring up hatred, Islamophobia and racism – running riot in some cases and provoking [COLOR=#0000ff]violent attacks[/COLOR] on Muslim, black and Asian communities and on Mosques and Mandirs (Hindu temples).
