As for being evocative, that wasn't my intention, it wasn't aimed at anyone on CF (unless there are people here who actively take part in BNP/EDL riots).
The knuckle draggers who usually frequent BNP rallies etc can be relied upon to ensure it never happens, although I'd like to think common sense in voters would be effective enough to make sure it never gets that far.

While I am happy to agree with you 100% about the average membership of the BNP, EDL et al is likely to be a knuckle dragging moron. Your first post, like the statements that have been bandied about in the press for the last nine years, doesn't point to specific sections of the political or social spectrum. It reads to me, and perhaps to other as a broad statement that, if you are interested enough to watch, and comment on the rise of militant islam. Then you are,
a). A bigot.
b). A racist.
c). A fascist.
d). A xenophobe.
The fact that many people who aren't, or certainly wouldn't consider themselves to be any of the above. Get tarred with the same brush, by politicians, the more liberal sections of the media, and on boards such as this by someone such as you Russ. Makes people rather brassed of, but at the same time worried that anything they say will end up getting them labeled as a jackbooted nazi....
