York Mosque praised for offering EDL protesters tea
A mosque has been praised for serving tea and biscuits to English Defence League supporters after the far-right group arranged a demonstration there.
About six people turned up to protest at the mosque in Bull Lane, York, on Sunday and were invited inside to play football with worshippers.
More than 100 supporters of the mosque had gone there after learning of the planned EDL protest.
Archbishop of York Dr John Sentamu said the mosque's response was "fantastic".
He said: "Tea, biscuits, and football are a great and typically Yorkshire combination when it comes to disarming hostile and extremist views."

Unfortunately, the EDL couldn't take up the offer of a football game, because they had no left-wingers 
Anyway, good on the mosque. If they were all like that ...

Accepting aid and succour from the enemy? Their fellow EDLers probably beat them with hurley sticks or something.
