Nigel Farage has likened masked Muslim protesters marching through the streets of east London to a ‘foreign invading army’.
The Reform UK leader today condemned the scenes of balaclava-clad men who declared they were ‘uniting’ while chanting a series of messages in Arabic.
He revealed that Saturday’s Tower Hamlets demonstration – which came after police banned a planned UKIP protest to ‘reclaim’ the area – was ‘one of the most terrifying things I’ve ever seen in my life’.
Many young men dressed in black, with hoods up and their faces covered, roamed the streets waving Bangladesh and Palestine flags where UKIP had originally intended to march.
One protester at the Whitechapel demo took to a microphone and vowed he would ‘stand firm’ in defending his community.
‘They came specifically targeting Islam,’ he said. ‘They said, “we are coming on a crusade”, they said “we need to take back our streets”.
‘We stand firm to let them know if you come, we will stand firm and will be ready to defend our elders, to defend our women, to defend our community.
‘We have never once said we were going on crusades or going into your areas to cause you problems.
‘You are coming into our homes and you want to cause us problems. What is wrong with us standing up? Today is a day we unite.’
Before the March, a community leader flogged £5 balaclavas to his ‘Muslim brothers’ as he urged others to ensure they were prepared and ready.
Suggesting protesters should cover their faces to avoid being identified by police, he said: ‘No face no case.’

Tower Hamlets – which has the largest percentage of Muslim residents anywhere in the UK – was described by Mr Farage as having ‘proper racism’ going on.
Balaclava-clad men reportedly chanted: ‘We will honour all our martyrs.
‘Allahu akbar. Zionist scum off our streets’.
Mr Farage claimed: ‘This was intimidation to the point of basically urging the mass wipe out of huge numbers of Jewish people.
‘It’s one of the most terrifying things I’ve ever seen in my whole life.

He added: ‘It was like a foreign invading army marching through our streets.
