Over at the Samosa, Secunder Kermani gives an account of postings he saw on the Facebook profile of Amit Singh, a British-born Sikh whose involvement in the English Defence League has been used as a counter to accusations that the EDL prmotes racism. Singh is not the only person belonging to an ethnic minority to be involved with the EDL, but his PR value appears to have been seriously compromised by opinions and comments such as these:
You know what, ive got an inkling the profit muhammed was really a bit of a adultering, raping, hate preaching looting Cunt!! Anyone agree, or is it just me????
the muzzies wanna keep away from me im just looking for an excuse im fucked off at the mo fuck the pakis … i just think we shud burn the cunts now!!
Be careful if you go out driving today… driving conditions are awful, ive just come off the road and hit a muslim!! It took me 10 minutes, 2 fields and a golf course, but I got the fucker!!
Etc. When asked about these, he
…claimed that he had been receiving death threats from Muslims at the time, and that this had provoked him into writing many of them. He also said he had an outspoken sense of humour and that many comments were intended as jokes.

Just to be clear Sikh do not support the EDL or the BNP or any far right political organisation.
Amit Singh does not represent the Sikhs. for a start he doesnt even look like a Sikh.
