Posting these videos belatedly (they've already gone up at Atlas Shrugs and Jihad Watch) from September 11, 2012. But, with the dramatic arrest of members of the EDL (Kevin Carroll and Tommy Robinson)

And the arrest of Paul Weston of The British Freedom Party ....
... An organization like SION is needed now more than ever.
From Atlas Shrugs:
On September 11, our organization, SION (Stop the Islamization of Nations), held a historic conference at the UN on the war on free speech (at the same time that our embassies were being attacked in Egypt and Libya). The war on our very basic freedoms is being waged on all fronts, in all countries and on the voices of freedom.
The SION freedom congress was an incredible event: world leaders converged at UN Plaza to brainstorm and strategize in the offense against the blasphemy laws under the sharia. Tommy Robinson is part of SION's first activist leadership team, uniting counter-jihadists in Europe, the U.S., and Australia: the President's Council of Stop Islamization of Nations (SION) that we formed in Stockholm back in August. Other members of the President's Council are SIOE's Anders Gravers; Kevin Carroll of the EDL; Debbie Robinson of the Q Society of Australia, Robert Spencer and me.
We were fortunate to have the singular Tommy Robinson come to New York and address the first SION World Freedom Congress on September 11th. Robinson has been arrested for his participation in this effort (video of his speech above). This is the latest outrage in a relentless campaign of attrition, harrassment and political persecution of Robinson by a weak, sharia-compliant UK government. We consider the political persecution of Robinson an attack on all of us. And we will fight alongside him.
No western nation is racing to Islamization as furiously as the UK. I have often said that the UK will be the first Islamic country in Europe."
The videos from the 9-11 SION (Stop Islamization of Nations) Conference are a powerful testament to the bravery and dedication of those who lead and inspire us: Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer, Anders Gravers, as well as those who were unjustly arrested in the U.K.
Playlist - 12 videos- 3 amazing hours
Slideshow of some pictures from the conference:
Stop Creeping Sharia. Stop the Stealth Jihad. Stop their "Final Solution"; the Islamization of the West and the eradication of our freedoms. Can't happen in the States? It HAS already begun. Take a look at what the dhimmis in Washington, DC are up to as they chip away at the First Amendment. We MUST FIGHT BACK.
What 's happening to the U.K. is of grave concern to the world... We are ALL Tommy Robinson!

UPDATE on arrest – complete article – ” Darkness Descends On England”
“The arrest of over 53 people in the United Kingdom is the beginning of the end for the once-great Britain. The leaders of the English Defence League (EDL), Tommy Robinson and Kevin Carroll, were among those arrested, as well as Paul Weston of the British Freedom Party (BFP). I spoke with Kevin Carroll about his recent arrest and that of Robinson and Weston, and he told me the appalling details.
Carroll told me that British authorities tried everything in the book to stop him from running for Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) for the Bedfordshire Police Authority. Nonetheless, he officially won the right to run for PCC last Friday. But then the very next day, British authorities carried out these mass arrests of EDL and BFP members, stripping them and forcing them to wear white paper overalls like those that are given to incarcerated terrorists. They were allowed no phone calls.
Meanwhile, British police raided the homes of Carroll, Robinson, and three others who had been arrested. “They absolutely ransacked mine,” Carroll told me. “They smashed the door off and wrecked my home. They took my only vehicle, with all the tools of my trade inside, and impounded it, as well as Tommy’s car.” The police the bomb squad, forensics teams and sniffer dogs spent seven and a half hours stripping Carroll’s van to the bone. “When they finished,” he said, “they found nothing! They loaded it up with bugs and GPS monitors and threw everything in the back; it looks like it’s been in a blender.”
“…is there no one is the political establishment in the U.K. who has any decency, integrity, or spine? No one who will stand up against these outrages?”
