On 9 Sep. I posted this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mm2Db7BCDt4&NR=1
It shows English Defence League supporters and the Green
Movement demonstrating together against a pro-Palestinian
march.

Now a group of Englishmen have burned a Quran and posted
the footage on Youtube.

The Quran was burned outside a pub, which according to one witness was
frequented by the EDL.

Here is the EDL statement referring to the burning.

http://www.englishdefenceleague.org/
'Although the English Defence League do not condone the burning of any
Quran it is understandable why people feel the need to vent such
frustration, especially when our Armed Forces are fighting and dying
for our flag, our Queen, our country and the preservation of its
Western democratic freedoms. Islamists are more than happy to burn our
flags without a single care or thought for our Armed Forces and the
sacrifices they make, they don't care about our "outrage" or even our
"offence".'

These are the people the Green Movement demonstrates with, people
who will happily support the bombing and invasion of Iran by the
British
armed forces, if the situation arises.

Let's be clear, there is nothing in the Islamic religion which is any
worse
than the Christian religion. In the Christian religion the sentence
for love of the same sex is death. The Bible endorses the institution
of
slavery and endorses the beating of slaves as long as an extremely
limited
amount of restraint is shown.

People who endorse Quran burning are in
exactly the same camp as the Southern US racists who burned
Christian churches used by black people in the 1960s and they are
in the same camp as Neo-Nazis who desecrate Jewish cemeteries.

Yet, the Green Movement demonstrates alongside those who defend
Quran burners-even if the EDL say they don't endorse the act itself.
What is this 'Green Movement' and why do Marxists join their
demonstrations? Surely the correct Maoist line is to fight the Green
Movement on an antagonistic basis-just line we fight the EDL.
Let's be clear-the imperialists have always maintained their
'running dogs' in the Third World, in order to maintain
western domination-let's not be too liberal to say so.
