Tea party linking up with Koran-burning British far right: report

It seems now that America and Europe are acting as one, and united we can never fail'

The tea party movement is forging links with the English Defence League, a nascent anti-Islamic movement in Great Britain that has made a habit of rioting in Muslim neighborhoods, says a report at the Observer.

The news comes a day after the EDL clashed with anti-fascist protesters in the city of Leicester, which has a large Muslim population. Eight people were arrested in those clashes. It is part of a pattern of behavior for the EDL, which has in the past burned Korans and carried signs declaring "We hate Muslims."

3. fear drives them
They are so afraid of becoming a minority. Because they fear being treated as they have treated others.

5. That's what they keep saying
Yes, they keep saying that. Problem is of course, it's not the country they want back. It is control of all that are not like them. They want "time" back (to around 1500 bc). The country belongs to all of us. I am amazed at the republican women that cannot see this. And I know a few of them.
