Former EDL leader Tommy Robinson condemned over Finsbury Park mosque comments

They seem moderate, factual and reasonable to me.  But I guess that associating a mosque with terrorism is unmentionable

Former English Defence League (EDL) leader Tommy Robinson has been criticised on social media after accusing the Finsbury Park mosque of “creating terrorists” following the terror attack.

One man has died and 10 others were injured when a van was rammed into worshippers near the north London mosque, before the driver is said to have screamed: "I'm going to kill all Muslims".

The 34-year-old Robinson tweeted an hour after the attack, claiming that the mosque has a “long history” of “promoting hate and segregation”.

“The mosque where the attack happened tonight has a long history of creating terrorists & radical jihadists & promoting hate & segregation,” he posted.

“I’m not justifying it, I've said many times if government or police don't sort these centres of hate they will create monsters as seen tonight.

“I genuinely hope the innocent people targeted tonight outside the mosque are ok.”

Mr Robinson was accused by many Twitter users of “inciting hatred” with his comments and attempting to “justify” the attack.

Andy Hearn tweeted: "If you spread hatred you are directly responsible for hatred spreading. So yes Tommy Robinson and his supporters are part of the problem."
