The Jewish Defense League in the USA is responsible for more terrorist attacks than those carried out by Muslims - the Canadian chapter shares the same views and values. (And we're not talking about arson attacks in dustbins here - full blown bombings and killings of civilians.) Thankfully the terrorists have stopped their campaigns in America.

Relationships with other extremists
In 2011, the Canadian JDL organized a "support rally" for the controversial English Defence League featuring a live speech, via Skype, by EDL leader Tommy Robinson. The event was denounced by the Canadian Jewish Congress whose leader, Bernie Farber, said he was "disappointed that the JDL would support an organization whose record in the U.K. is one of violence and extremism."[42] "We join with all the leading British Jewish organizations in condemning the intolerance and violence that the EDL represents. It has never been the Canadian way to promote vigilantism," added Farber.[43] In an opinion piece published following the event, Farber and CJC general counsel Benjamin Shinewald castigated the JDL stateing that, "By joining forces [with the English Defence League], the JDL condones the indefensible actions of violent extremists."[44]
I guess you can judge a group by the company it keeps.
DDS and myself remain the only posters to condemn both the fascist EDL thugs and the extremist MAC, Choudary etc. Interesting that.

Note also that the JDL exported terrorism to Palestine, where Baruch Goldstein - the US doctor who emigrated to Israel and settled in occupied Palestine - gunned down worshippers in a mosque, in an act of religiously motivated terrorism which the JDL supports:
The 1994 Cave of the Patriarchs Massacre, in which dozens of Palestinians at prayer were massacred by a gunman in the West Bank city of Hebron, was perpetrated by a one-time JDL member who had emigrated from the United States, Baruch Goldstein.[10] The JDL maintained, on its website, "we are not ashamed to say that Goldstein was a charter member of the Jewish Defense League", and described his action as "a preventative measure against yet another Arab attack on Jews".[11]
