"-not-racist Muslim members] of the EDL categorically state that, what they dislike is Fascist Islam and what they perceive as it's agenda to introduce sharia law into the UK and Europe, that is entirely different to labelling them 'islamaphobic', the lede needs to be put into context. Look, demonising and promoting hysteria about what is essentially a small protest group has no place on Wikipedia, I suggest we refer the issue to senior admin if we cannot get agreement on something that is glaringly biased.    
 :::Just to point out, the video doesn't show what you claim it to. The guy being filmed is an Arab but states that he is not a Muslim and also states his view that the EDL recognises that ""the problem is Islam"". Not ""Fascist Islam"" or ""fundamentalist Islam"", but Islam.    
 ::Just about everything in the first paragraph above is itself glaringly biased, as is this editor's edit to the article (""The EDL has been described by some as Islamophobic.). The intention is clearly to have the description of Islamophobic appear as if it is a minority opinion, held by few observers and practically without foundation. This is not the case. Neither is it the case that ALL commentators say that EDL is Islamophobic, which is why the key phrase is has been described as opposed to, simply, is. It is no good to just accept the EDL leader's claims, how ever categorically they state them, that they are not Islamophobic (this would apply to any group, but given the nature of the EDL's leaders and their history it is even more important). By all means take it to senior admin, but before you do, find an independent reliable source that says the EDL is not Islamophobic, as opposed to claiming they are not Islamophobic.    
 :::Not so, the description is what is is, clearly stating that some believe that the EDL are Islamophobic, if it was a general wide-spread view then it would be different; however, that is not the case. Nick Cohen's piece in the Guardian (26th May 2013) lays out the fact that the EDL's raison d'etre is that Islamists disparaged British troops not a fear of Islam or Muslims. There are numerous sources that lay out the EDL's raison d'etre and I'm happy to supply them so we can take down that hysterical, incorrect label and template.    
 ::::This article is well sourced, and represents fairly the consensus amongst the media and academia that the EDL is an Islamophobic extremist organisation.    
 ::::::Nick Cohen's piece does indeed say that the ""founders of the English Defence League were inspired by Islamists who disparaged British troops""; so what? It does not say that EDL is not Islamophobic; indeed, Cohen's article isn't actually about the EDL. On the other hand, David Miller, in an earlier article in the same paper, wrote about Islamophobia and specifically mentioned ""racist and Islamophobic groups such as the EDL"".   "
