English Defense League (EDL) leader demanded debate on killing David Cameron and archbishop
Source: The Guardian

A senior member of the English Defence League, who founded a far-right website carrying articles by bloggers closely monitored by the Norwegian gunman Anders Behring Breivik, published an online essay discussing the execution and torture of the UK's political and religious leaders.

On 23 May 2010, Alan Lake posted on his 4 Freedoms website an article outlining his belief that "in 20 or 30 years the UK will start to fragment into Islamic enclaves". He went on: "It's time we decide... who we will force in the Islamic enclaves (and who we will execute if they sneak out.) By forcing these liberal twits into those enclaves, we will be sending them to their death at worst, and at best they and their families will be subjected to all the depredations, persecution and abuse that non-Muslims worldwide currently 'enjoy' in countries like Pakistan... It will be great to see them executed or tortured to death."

Lake urged visitors to the site to contribute the names of people who should be sent to the Islamic enclaves and made three of his own suggestions. He suggested that the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, should be a candidate on the grounds that he "approves of the creation and use of sharia courts". David Cameron, he explained, should be included in the discussion "to help refine our criteria about who deserves to die at the hands of the Muslim overlords". He also included Nick Clegg on the grounds that he is "such an angelic and pure person that he upholds various 'human rights' issues more important than plebeian matters of public safety".

Lake has spoken at far-right rallies in Sweden and on Norwegian television, where he has warned that Europe is in danger of becoming an Islamic state. Responding to a march by Muslims in Britain calling for the imposition of sharia law, Lake told the Norwegian channel 2 Nyhetene: "They are seeking the overthrow of the state. As far as I am concerned, I'll be happy to execute people like that."

1. It captures the essence of the right wing
"It will be great to see them executed or tortured to death."

but tomorrow will see another dozen DU threads complaining "I just don't understand what the right wing wants."

2. What has made the world so insane? Teflon? Aluminium foil? Gasoline fumes?
Whatever it is, someone get rid of it, ASAP.

5. I'm pretty sure that it's always been this way.
Sometimes governments keep these people in check, and at other times, these people run the government.

Well, really the consolidation of more power.

The weak of mind can not tolerate an iota of difference between them and another. Because, Hate is a negative emotion and actually repels any rational being, they find themselves alone in their cause of making everyone just-like-them. Out of frustration, these would be uber-men resort to violence to get what they can not buy... Rinse, repeat every couple of generations.

I note with great amusement, that their often quoted ( tho, he was a socialist ) George Orwell was on the last killing list of this sort.

3. Has anyone seen Alan Lake and Pam Geller in the same place at the same time.
I'm guessing Alan Lake IS Pam Geller dressed as a guy and sporting a fake British accent. The fear-mongering posts and speeches targeting Muslims are almost identical.

4. I think Lake is worse - he's saying he'd divide countries into Muslim and non-Muslim areas
and then expel the (non-Muslim) people whom he doesn't like into the Muslim areas - where he expects they would be killed. And he'd cheer.
