The EDL heavily invokes [[File:Crusadism.png]] [[Crusadism|Crusadist imagery]] in its ralies. The EDL was first founded by British activist [[File:TomRob.png]] [[Alt-Lite|Tommy Robinson.]] Although Robinsons motivation for founding the group was to only fight against "[[File:Jihad.png]] [[Jihadism|radical Islam]]" and not Islam or the British Muslim population itself, a majority of the group had [[File:Xenophobia.png]] xenophobic views towards Muslims. This caused Robinson to leave the group and found a rival group, [[File:Pegida.png]] [[National Conservatism|Pegida UK.]] Since Robinson's departure, the EDL has undergoneunderwent a decline and dissolved circa 2019.
