President Donald Trump retweeted on Wednesday morning three anti-Muslim videos from a British far-right account, reports CNN. The videos were originally by Jayda Fransen, a deputy leader of Britain First, a far-right and ultranationalist British political organization formed in 2011 by former members of the British National Party.
The first video was captioned «Muslims migrants beating up a Dutch boy on crutches» while the second one was entitled «Muslim destroys statue of Virgin Mary». The third clip read «Islamist mob pushes teenage boy off roof and beats him to death».
According to the same source, Fransen posted online «GOD BLESS YOU TRUMP!», referring to the fact that the videos were shared by Trump and probably noticed by 44 million followers.
On the other hands, Trump’s retweets have made headlines in the UK on Wednesday. A spokesperson for the UK Prime Minister Theresa May said that Trump was «wrong» and that «Britain First seeks to divide communities through their use of hateful narratives which peddle lies and stoke tensions».
For the record, the Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR), a civil rights and advocatory group headquartered in Washington D.C. indicated in one of their reports that when Donald Trump became President of the United States on January 20, 2017, he brought an unprecedented record of conditioning audiences to fear Muslims». The same ONG insisted that «Trump has stated that he believes 'Islam hates us,' and alleges that there is 'no real assimilation' by US Muslims, both of which ideas have been thoroughly disproven by independent sources».
