Anti-fascists to confront Scottish Defence League in Perth

ANTI-FASCISTS will challenge the Scottish Defence League (SDL) with a counter-protest tomorrow in Perth where the racists are planning on holding a protest against a mosque.

Unite Against Fascism (UAF) Scotland has warned that the SDL may stage a rally opposing the relocation of a mosque within the city.
The anti-fascists condemned the march as “nothing more than an opportunistic excuse to scapegoat and peddle their fascist hate.”

UAF Scotland spokesperson John McFadden said: “It is appalling that the hate-filled, sieg heil-saluting fascists of the SDL are threatening to impose themselves on the people of Perth in a brazen attempt to intimidate the Muslim community and whip up racial hatred.
