A July 26 WorldNetDaily article, taken from WND’s G2 Bulletin and carrying the headline “‘Radical’ nationalists rising up in Europe,” states that “The slaughter in Norway last week – allegedly by Anders Behring Breivik – appears to have unleashed a number of latent far-right activist groups throughout Europe whose members are beginning public protests over their worries regarding immigration, multiculturalism, globalization and the rise of Islam in Europe.” It continues:
Now, following his alleged attack and the publication of his manifesto, ultra-nationalist groups throughout Europe are becoming more vocal, hoping to instill their concept of a more homogeneous society as a political mainstream viewpoint.
One of those groups, the English Defense League, or EDL, is to stage a rally in the town of Luton in Bedfordshire in the United Kingdom. Draped in the flag of the United Kingdom, demonstrators, many of whom are hooded, will be wearing white hockey masks with a red Crusader cross painted on it.
The demonstrators in Luton will be joined by so-called defense leagues from Norway where the recent attack occurred, Sweden and the Netherlands as well as supporters from other far-right groups from France, Denmark, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Scandinavia and the United Kingdom.

Observers increasingly are concerned that members of ultra-right movements and demonstrations consist mostly of young people.
But as we’ve noted, the English Defense League is a favorite group of newly minted WND columnist Pamela Geller. Earlier this summer, after the head of the EDL’s Jewish Division, Roberta Moore, resigned from the group complaining of “Nazis” in the EDL ranks, Geller first declared that she was withdrawing her support from the EDL, then flip-flopped the next day, insisting that “There is a struggle for the soul of the EDL” and that she still believes the EDL is “noble and true.”
Geller has not made mention of the EDL since the Norway incident. Does she agree with WND’s assessment of it as “radical” and “ultra-right”? Does this mean she’s finally ready to walk away from this organization for good since even WND considers it extreme? We shall see.
