Racist Far Right Group Praised by NY Anti-Mosque Organizers Riots in UK

Apparently it’s Right-Wing Freak Protest Day in the UK as well:

About 700 protesters from a far-right group have clashed with hundreds of riot police in northern England.

The English Defense League activists threw bottles, rocks and a smoke bomb at the riot police after the authorities penned in the protesters to keep them away from an opposing demonstration by a leftist group, United Against Fascism.

The two bigots who have done more to whip up furious opposition to the Islamic community center in New York than anyone else have both gone out of their way to praise this bunch.

1. K&R As was seen in the 1930s, bigotry against religious groups and racism are contagious...
...and can spread like wildfire. In the age of the internet and globally broadcast 24/7 news it's happening a lot quicker this time.
