How many anti-Vietnam war demonstrators blew up trains and buses, killed soldiers in the streets and went off to fight for the Viet-Cong?
The Weather Underground killed four people, one by accident and three of its own members whilst assembling a bomb - It had a very strong 'no kill policy). The Black Panther party for Self Defence however were also part of the anti-Vietnam war movement and were involved in direct violent confrontation. The BLA and SLA both grew out of the anti-Vietnam war movement (as did Germany's Red Army Faktion and Italy's Red Brigades). The Red Army Faction had close connections with the PFLP, through the June 2nd Movement, whilst the Black Panthers had close ties with the Algerians. If I remember rightly Jane Fonda 'did some propaganda' for the NVA. Thanks for correcting me. I confused the Weather Underground with the SLA. A fascinating subject. The SLA probably exemplify the weirdest and strangest terrorist group of all time. I've become a bit of an armchair expert on left wing terrorism in the late 60s and 70s.
They then took on the establishment some of them. Their anger boiling over to the point of murderous madness. Like their parents in 1944, ironically. The shooting of Rudi Dutschke was the final straw. State suppression of protestors against the regime in Iran and Vietnam war was massively unpopular, and the unwavering support of the US military, created a massive problem - The youth of Germany saw in that a potential repeat of the late 20s early 30s, and with ex-Nazi's remaining in positions of influence, there was a lot of paranoia. Its worth remembering that there were still far right groups around in Germany, and the country was very conservative. Its also worth remembering that groups like the Red Army Faction, 2nd June Movement, Red Cells, were a small part of a very large leftist movement, including the German Green Party (very successful) and the anti-nuclear movement (also very successful). Those other groups, really resulted in Germany becoming a much more liberal country. At the time West Germany was 'doomed', the cold war heating up was a real fear, and that conflict would be played out in Germany.

Apologies if already mentioned... 18 June 2014 Tory MP Sir Peter Tapsell, the Father of the House of Commons, standing as an MP since 1959 has invoked a law last applied in 1806 to impeach Tony Blair for "Lying to the House" for the reasons for going to war with Iraq.

I think that the likes of the EDL and Britain First represent more of a threat than Islam. Whils extremist militant islamists might represent a threat to a small number of the UK population, the kind of popularism groups like the EDL and Britain First garner from exploiting peoples fears is far closer to the threat 'New Nazi'. The UK will never really ever be overly influenced by Islam, simply because so few of the population are Muslims, so radical islamist movements, even less so (as they're a minority among muslims in the UK). Britian First, putting a different foriegn religeous agenda ahead of the minimal threat of a foriegn religeous agenda, seem to have gained a lot of popularity recently, particually with people who'd never think of supporting a Far Right Christian Fundermentalist group.
