Rejected petition We insist that the English Defence League are made a terrorist organisation

More details

Given light of the rise of anti-islam sentiment after the tragic events of Wednesday 22nd May 2013 in Woolwich, and the actions of, and threatening posts on social media by members of the English Defence League after the above date, I the undersigned feel now has to be the time that the English Defence League is made into a terrorist organisation.

It is plain to see from media reports from the demonstration in Newcastle that the EDL are not a political party,but one with just one agenda,which is to incite racial and religious hatred.After events later on in Bristol on the same night (25th May 2013) how long will it be until an innocent human being is murdered?
