‘Vileness appeared today’

From a fine post by Liberty Scott:
‘It had to happen.  The London Metropolitan Police has today protected about 100 protestors who in Grosvenor Square – the location of the US Embassy to the UK – held placards proclaiming “Islam will dominate the world”, calling for an Islamic Caliphate for the UK and the US and celebrating that Afghanistan is a graveyard of US soldiers.  They deliberately broke the minute of silence held to commemorate the dead and are now celebrating the same on their website.  They burnt the US flag.
…It is worth noting that two groups counter-protested.  A group of Muslims appeared holding placards saying “Muslims against Extremism”, “Keep the Silence” and “If you want Sharia, Move to Saudi”.  Good for them.
…Another group comprised the English Defence League, a group commonly described as fascist/far right, which is largely a bunch of working class men who are loudly and usually rather bluntly against Islamism.
The Police moved them so that the Islamist misogynists could have their protests…’                          (bold mine)
