Regardless of what they might state in their material, the EDL aren't just against militant Islam. They are against all Muslims. Hopefully he'll realise this and disassociate himself from them. There should be no place for bigotry or racism at our club.

What exactly is militant islam? Its all from the same book.
Agree with the no place for bigatory or racism at any club, however we cant stop him thinking these things just have to stop him publishing them. Surley someone will have a word!

I can't decide whether you're serious or not Obviously not all Muslims interpret the Quran the same way. That's why the vast majority of Muslims both here and abroad are good valuable members of society and a tiny minority want to blow things up, behead soldiers etc. Just look at the Phelps family in America for a comparison, they're homophobic Christians who think it's right to picket soldiers funerals. Obviously 99.999% of Christians would strongly disagree with them. I agree with the rest of your post though

Brilliant.
I love being champions. We have got a full season of golden bitter moments like this.

I think it was David Hulme (not the former widnes player) who said it first, I've certainly heard it from Christopher Hitchens.
"good people will do what they can, bad people will do the worst they can, but if you want good people to do horrible things, you will need religion!"
It is however too late for a theological argument lol!
Not wanting to get off topic (perhaps I already have), but either way someone at the club will need to certainly have a word, as without wanting to be called arrogant, now he is at Wigan, this kind of thing will be much bigger news than it was while he was at Bradford.
Good player though all the same!

| I think due to Bradfurts financial woes he has been touted round and we bought him up rather than us going after him.
Still, a decent player though and could flower with some better training.
Played well against us at the DW last year and picked up a try or two IIRC.
Anyone think he will be cover for centre rather than 2nd row?

I'd love to have seen him tested in the centres at Bradford but we stuck with him at second row. He's incredibly strong for his size and has great hands. In my opinion he has the potential to be a great centre player.

Its never too late!
I'm pretty sure it wasn't David Hulme (or Basil Hume for that matter either). I think that was the physicist Weingberg as paraphrased by Christopher Hitchens in his debate with Tony Blair. Not a particularly special quote though...
