“Counter-terrorism police in the UK are investigating far-right groups accused of trying to use the coronavirus crisis to stoke anti-Muslim sentiment.”
But the so-called “far right” individuals mentioned in this article — Tommy Robinson, Katie Hopkins and UKIP leader Gerard Batten — have not been picking on Muslims. They’ve been telling the truth. If Muslim gatherings continue during the coronavirus pandemic, they should be reported. There is evidence that Muslims are breaching the lockdown, as several Muslim leaders around the world have called upon Muslims to do so. And according to the Daily Mail, the “Islamic community is devastated by coronavirus pandemic,” to the extent that mass graves of up to 10 people are being dug. Maybe this has no connection to anyone breaching the lockdown. Maybe it does.
The police witch hunt, however, will not target the Daily Mail for daring to report on the devastation in the Muslim community. The witch hunt is specifically targeted at those labelled as far-right groups. It’s yet another ploy by the failed globalist establishment to attack those who are trying to preserve Britain as a free society in the face of mass migration and the government’s failure to act on rampant rape gang activity and much more.
It isn’t only Muslim groups that are being highlighted in the British media as posing a problem during the coronavirus pandemic, either, as the counter-terrorism police would have people believe. Other reports have identified Christian and Jewish communities which are not abiding by rules of social distancing: “Jewish leaders fear ultra-Orthodox Jews have missed isolation message” and “Coronavirus: ‘Super-spreading’ at ‘cult’ church sees 2.5 million people told to stay indoors.”
Still, attempts to hammer in the message of Muslim victimology and “Islamophobia” continue during the pandemic, above all other interests.
“Police investigate UK far-right groups over anti-Muslim coronavirus claims,” by Nazia Parveen, Guardian, April 5, 2020:
Counter-terrorism police in the UK are investigating far-right groups accused of trying to use the coronavirus crisis to stoke anti-Muslim sentiment.
The monitoring group Tell Mama said that in March it recorded dozens of incidents of far-right groups allegedly trying to put blame on British Muslims for the spread of the virus.
The group said it had had to debunk numerous claims made on social media that Muslims were breaching the lockdown by continuing to attend mosques to pray. There were also incidents where Muslims were attacked, it said.
In one tweet from a prominent white nationalist, claims were made that Muslims were breaching the lockdown by congregating outside a mosque in Wembley. Tell Mama debunked this claim, and after it encouraged others users to report the content, Twitter removed the tweet and placed restrictions on the account.
A video shared on Telegram by Tommy Robinson, the founder and former leader of the English Defence League (EDL), was alleged to show a group of Muslim men leaving a “secret mosque” in inner-city Birmingham. The video was watched 10,000 times on the platform. The claims were subsequently dismissed by West Midlands police.
West Yorkshire police similarly dismissed images allegedly showing Muslims attending Friday prayers, pointing out they were taken before the lockdown was announced.
Shropshire police took action after a tweet from a far-right-leaning account maliciously claimed that a mosque was flouting the lockdown. The content was also reported to Twitter.
Iman Atta, the director of Tell Mama, said: “These extremists are using coronavirus to get their pervasive message across that somehow the Muslim communities are to blame for the spreading of the virus.
“It is mainly repeat offenders – individuals who are already known to hold anti-Muslim views – who are repeatedly seeing this as a way to cause community turmoil and tension. It is at times like this when there are pressures in society that some people manipulate this to fuel hate and division across communities.”
High-profile accounts linked to spreading malicious rumours against Muslims have included those of Katie Hopkins and the former Ukip leader Gerard Batten….
