BBC: English Defence League demos 'feed Islamic extremism'

Only problem with this is that, however repugnant the EDL may be, does the BBC really think that protesting about something makes it worse?

Does protesting about anti-Semitism make more recruits for anti-Semitic groups?

If protesting extremism increases it, then why protest about anything?

The answer maybe 'how' those protests are made and the true motivation behind them.

But I have a sneaking suspicion that Islamist extremists don't rely on the EDL for their recruitment drives. It's actually quite the reverse.
