National Post Jan12th A8 Anti Islamist group

First I would like to congratulate the National Post for printing the article and Stephen Bell for writing an excellent article. I do however have some comments. Instead of the EDL being described as "far right extremist" or anti-Islamist, wouldn't it be better and fairer to describe them as pro British values? And as long as we are describing organizations, shouldn't the Anti-Racist Action group, the Queers Against Israeli Apartheid group and the Canadian Arab Federation be described as "Islamist" groups? And shouldn't the Canadian Jewish Congress be described as being on the far left politically?

It is also interesting to note that when the JDL protests a meeting or protest held by a Muslim group, no police are injured and no one is arrested. JDL has peaceful protests, whereas this Muslim protest was not peaceful. One policeman was injured and four protesters were arrested. That is a big difference and should be noted.
