Protestor holding up anti muslim sign
Late last week there was notification telling the good people of Oldham to avoid the Town Centre on Saturday (14 January) because the "North West Infidels" were coming around for a visit.
You can think of it as foreigners coming to cause a ruckus and creating a no go area for many Oldhamers on the busy shopping day of Saturday and probably try to stoke up tensions within the local community of some sort.
They might have been protesting a lack of love in their lives or something, I am not sure as I didn't attend.
Apparently not many turned up to the protest so it was a bit of a dud.
I wouldn't worry too much about this protest - the bigger worry is the recent spate of burglaries and reports of attempts at kidnapping of children that are circulating in the local community.
EDIT
Having googled for past uses of the above image it does not seem to be new and may be from an older EDL protest, but I will keep it because its funnier than the ones of the actual protest.

Some Muslim protests that you might find interesting? Are all these True Muslims, or Muslims who are just being misunderstood, and mis-reported?

I notice that she can freely walk with and through those angry demonstrations in the first video.
I notice that in the second video what the intro says is different from what the person on the announcer in the demo says who says to not let the extremists dominate... but 90% of the people will have not heard that bit and stopped listening earlier (around 7 and a half minutes in).
The third video is just a rant by a priviledged panelist.
