AND FINALLY

Probing the English Defence League’s assertion that they aren’t racist, recently we were perusing their website and stumbled on something that had us coughing up our cups of tea: Clicking on the Forum section of the site, you are met with an ad for mail-order Muslim brides, complete with picture of a pretty Middle-Eastern woman with head-dress but sans burkha. The site it links to – called Muslims For Marriage – does the job of putting you in touch with a range of up-for-it single Muslim women.

So there you have it – when it comes to mail-order brides, the English Defence League don’t mind if their new soul-mate keeps getting up before the crack of dawn to pray to Mecca. Who said the EDF were Islamophobic? If you want to “send ‘em back” – apart from that one special lady – have a look before someone points out the irony to the webmaster and it gets taken offline – see http://s1.zetaboards.com/EDL_The_Forum/index
