EDL scum - acceptable
Tory scum - acceptable
Muslim scum - offernsive, racist, inflammatory etc
For some reason this is generally accepted, and it's inconsistencies like this that get peoples backs up.
EDL - a member of the human rights group (as per point one of their mission on their "about us" page on their website) EDL
Tory - a member of the Conservative political party
Muslim - a member of the Islamic religion
Islam is a religion/belief the others aren't. You're interested in inconsistencies, the three groups aren't comparable.
