Have any evidence for this at all? If you haven't, you should withdraw it.
The EDL strongly deny that it was anything to do with them and their members - in fact, they are doubtful that it was even non-Muslims that were responsible for this.
Apparently, word on the local grapevine is that it may have been an insurance job by local Muslims. The building was pretty run down from the photos, and it would be a nice way to end up with a new one on the insurance/state.
That said, I am open to it being either the EDL or Muslims.
To put it another way: the damage visited upon the mosque is more severe than any other anti-Muslim attacks during the immediate period after Woolwich. One or two mosques suffered minor damage, some women had people try to pull their
hijab/
abaya/
niqab off, but that's about it. Even in the small handful of physical anti-Muslim attacks, no-one was physically harmed and it all died down quickly afterwards. I think this is an amazing testament to the tolerance of the vast majority of people in this country, despite what grievance-mongers in Tell MAMA said (
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/terrorism-in-the-uk/10093568/The-truth-about-the-wave-of-attacks-on-Muslims-after-Woolwich-murder.html). I can't imagine that jihadi types would be as peaceful if a neo-Nazi terrorist stormed into a mosque and gunned down everyone in there.

I mean, I suppose, the former is more recent and as such not much investigation has gone into it...
I suspect that this is because they know who has done it... and it's not the EDL.
