90 ARRESTED IN COUNTER-JIHAD DEMONSTRATION IN ENGLAND

BBC:

Ninety people were arrested following clashes between right-wing protestors and anti-fascist campaigners in Birmingham on Saturday.

A group called the English Defence League, which said it was protesting against Islamic extremism, was met with a counter demonstration.

Police said rival gangs had hurled abuse and missiles at each other near the city's main shopping areas.

The arrested are aged between 16 and 39 and offences include criminal damage.

NYTIMES:

Authorities arrested 90 people after racially charged violence erupted between a group protesting Islamic extremism and counter-demonstrators in the central English city of Birmingham, police said Sunday.

The clashes erupted Saturday when a rally by the English Defense League ran into counter-demonstrators including anti-fascists and youths of South Asian descent, West Midlands Police said.

About 200 people were involved in the clashes in downtown Birmingham, police said.

Television footage showed masked or hooded youths throwing projectiles and running from riot police through the diverse city's downtown area.

Police said the 90 people detained -- all males aged 16 to 39 -- were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and violent disorder.

It was not immediately clear how many were protesters and how many were counter-demonstrators.

GOV:

The English Defence League mounted another protest in Birmingham today. This one was better organized than the earlier demonstration in July.

Notice the overall tenor of the interviews that ITN deigned to include in the latter half of the report.

WHEN THE "CENTRIST" MAINSTREAM PARTIES DO NOTHING ABOUT DHIMMITUDE AND ISLAMIZATION, THEN THE PEOPLE WILL TAKE TO THE STREETS TO DEFEND THEIR CIVILIZATION.

THIS IS JUST THE START.

I AM GLAD PEOPLE ARE FIGHTING BACK AGAINST DHIMMITUDE AND ISLAMIZATION.

I WISH THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT AND THE MAIN PARTIES WOULD DO MORE SO PEOPLE WOULDN'T HAVE TO RESORT TO DIRECT ACTION.
