FARAGE TO BAN MASS MUSLIM PRAYER EVENTS – Describing these events as a means to “overtake, intimidate and dominate”
Nigel Farage, leader of the Reform UK party, said he would ban mass Muslim prayer at historic British sites if elected as prime minister, describing an event this week in London as an attempt to “overtake, intimidate and dominate”.
Farage was weighing in on a debate that began this week when a Muslim public prayer event in Trafalgar Square was described as an “act of domination and division” by a different politician, Conservative Party justice spokesperson Nick Timothy.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer called for Timothy to be fired over the remarks.
Farage said in a speech in Scotland that although Britain has a history of religious tolerance, the Muslim event in London was not “the private observance of a different religion, but the attempt to overtake, intimidate and dominate our way of life”.
