English Flag Shamed by Muslim Haters in Blackburn, England

The English Flag was shamed by members of the radical far right group the "English Defence League" (EDL) today in Blackburn, England.

Approximately 2,000 ED protestors converged on Blackburn in Lancashire (near to Manchester) to protest against the alleged spread of Sharia Law and militant Islamism in England and the UK.



The town of Blackburn was selected as it has a heavy Muslim population. The EDL were confronted by a rival march from Unite Against Fascism.
