English Defense League’s Tommy Robinson on Norwegian TV

Over at GatesofVienna Baron Bodissey, with his thanks to Vlad Tepes for the YouTube work, has posted a clip from a Norwegian TV interview with English Defense League leader Tommy Robinson. There are subtitles and a transcript of the Norwegian parts of the dialogue.

Here’s a link to the GatesofVienna site:

It is worth noting that the Norwegian television crew treacherously filmed and broadcast the license plate number of one of the EDL members’ cars and revealed Tommy’s real name.

Here’s the transcription, as is, from the GatesofVienna piece:

Transcript:

00:00		The rise of radical Muslims groups also means more right-wing extremists.
00:07		TV2 has met the leader of anti-Muslim EDL
00:11		They claim to have more than 60,000 supporters now in Britain.
00:18		Inside this building we find the headquarters of the EDL.
00:25		With help from friends, the leader of the controversial EDL is preparing himself. He is to debate Islamism on the BBC
00:34		Some of these things are insane: “Fight those who don’t believe in Allah or the last days”
00:39		I don’t believe in Allah or the last days
00:41		That means they are gonna fight me.
00:44		We have been told that the place we are meeting is to be secret.
00:49		Come again, don’t film the license plate (of the car)
00:52		Stephen Lennon was secret for a long time.
00:55		What do you prefer, Tommy or Stephen ? Tommy!
00:59		And now he prefers the name he took when he became the leader of the EDL in 2009.
01:05		I did not want to become the leader of this organization.
01:08		The 27-year-old father of two risks a lot by being the front figure.
01:14		You have reason to fear for your life?
01:16		Come on, anyone who opposes Islam has reasons to fear for his life.
01:19
01:28		He refuses to be driven by racist motives.
01:31		I’m a realist, not at all a racist.
01:33		We will speak our mind, and we will not be beaten into silence or submission by anybody..
01:39		Stephen Lennon shows us a video.
01:44		The recording is from a welcome-home parade for British soldiers just returned from Iraq.
01:51		Radical Muslims have turned up to demonstrate.
01:54		They shout “May your soldiers burn in Hell.” Just to watch this was disgusting.
02:05		How dare you say that ? The day after, the EDL was formed.
02:10		Now the organization fights against what they claim is “the Islamization of Great Britain”.
02:15		Today this is Luton, tomorrow it is your town. It’s England today, it’s Norway tomorrow.
02:20		It’s coming, wherever Islam is, it’s coming.
02:24		To illustrate what he is talking about, he takes us for a tour of his city.
02:29		Within a stone’s throw in every direction from here, there’s a mosque.
02:34		Luton is situated just north of London,
02:37		and is the size of the third largest city in Norway, Trondheim.
02:41		There are 19 mosques in Luton. Lately more and more have been coming.
02:25		Had they been prayer houses, it would not have been such a problem, but they are not.
02:29		They are commando control centers.
02:33
02:56		The EDL have demonstrated in cities all over Great Britain.
03:03		Many of its supporters have connections to the football hooligans, and demonstrations are often violent.
03:08		Their main policy is confrontation.
03:11		For the Islamist Anjem Choudhary, the EDL is an enemy. He wants to impose sharia in England.
03:18		The more trouble the EDL stirs, the better, says Choudhary to TV2.
03:23		For us it’s very healthy, you know, for when people come out and they show their ugly face
03:27		and their real feelings, then we can confront them and we can expose
03:31		and show the nonsense they stand for, and maybe even more people will adhere to Islam.
03:36		E-E-EDL — we are the real people of Britain, we are fighting for our children’s future.
03:29		We are fighting for the generations to come.
03:42		That’s what we are fighting for. A safe and prosperous Britain.

England invited this increasingly violent mess through a policy of unfettered and unregulated immigration of Muslims, based upon the fallacy of cultural relativism. It is only a matter of time before we begin to see mass Muslim violence in the United States, which will inevitably follow the prolonged campaign of “civilization jihad”, or use of the democratic institutions of a free society to infiltrate, weaken and subvert it to the will of Muslim demands to accommodate Shariah (Muslim law). The basis for my belief is found in the following, which lays out the step-by-step process that Muslims are employing in a relentless effort to impose Shariah on the entire world:

Frank Gaffney’s Center for Security Policy recently published a chilling book entitled Sharia: The Threat To America. The work is the combined effort of some of America’s best experts on Muslim history, doctrine and law. Get your hands on it and read it, if you have not done so already. The Islamization process of America is already well under way.

About John L. Work

John Lloyd Work has taken the detective thriller genre and woven an occasional political thread throughout his books, morphing what was once considered an arena reserved for pure fiction into believable, terrifying, futuristic, true-to-life “faction”. He traveled the uniformed patrolman’s path, answering brutal domestic violence calls, high speed chases, homicides, suicides, armed robberies, breaking up bar fights, and the accompanying sporadic unpredictable moments of terror - which eventually come to all police officers, sometimes when least expected. He gradually absorbed the hard fact that the greatest danger a cop faces comes in the form of day-to-day encounters with emotionally disturbed, highly intoxicated people. Those experiences can wear a cop down, grinding on his own emotions and psyche. Prolonged exposure to the worst of people and people at their worst can soon make him believe that the world is a sewer. That police officer’s reality is a common thread throughout Work’s crime fiction books. Following his graduation from high school, Work studied music and became a professional performer, conductor and teacher. Life made a sudden, unexpected turn when, one afternoon in 1976, his cousin, who eventually became the Chief of the Ontario, California, Police Department, talked him into riding along during a patrol shift. The musician was hooked into becoming a police officer. After working for two years as a reserve officer in Southern California and in Boulder, Colorado, he joined the Longmont, Colorado Police Department. Work served there for seven years, investigating crimes as a patrolman, detective and patrol sergeant. In 1989 he joined the Adams County, Colorado Sheriff’s Office, where he soon learned that locking a criminal up inside a jail or prison does not put him out of business. As a sheriff’s detective he investigated hundreds of crimes, including eleven contract murder conspiracies which originated “inside the walls”. While serving on the Adams County North Metro Gang Task Force and as a member of the Colorado Security Threat Intelligence Network Group (STING), Work designed a seminar on how a criminal’s mind formulates his victim selection strategy. Over a period of six years he taught that class in sheriff’s academies and colleges throughout Colorado. He saw the world of crime both inside the walls and out on the streets. His final experiences in the criminal law field were with the Colorado State Public Defender’s Office, where for nearly two years he investigated felonies from the defense side of the Courtroom. Twenty-two years of observing human nature at its worst, combined with watching some profound changes in America’s culture and political institutions, provided plenty of material for his first three books. A self-published author, he just finished writing his tenth thriller.
