Nigel Farage condemned over call to ban public prayer for Muslims in the UK
AI Summary
Nigel Farage is facing condemnation for advocating a ban on public prayer by Muslims in the UK, a statement made during the launch of Reform UK's Scottish parliament manifesto. His remarks followed a large Muslim prayer event in Trafalgar Square, which he described as an attempt to "overtake, intimidate and dominate" British culture. Muslim leaders have denounced Farage's comments as bigoted, while Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch questioned whether such events align with British norms. The event in Trafalgar Square has occurred five times previously without controversy. Critics, including former First Minister Humza Yousaf, accuse Farage of bigotry and express disappointment that such rhetoric is becoming mainstream.
