British Christian group 'mobbed' during patrol of Muslim hotspot

Britain First, a political group composed of Christians was reportedly 'mobbed' by Muslims during a patrol of a Bedfordshire town in England.

According to a report by The Huffington Post, the group, which consisted of men and women holding crosses, patroled along a Muslim hotspot in Bury Park in Luton on Saturday.

The group, led by Paul Golding and his deputy Jayda Fransen, circled the area known as an 'Islamist hotspot', where they handed out newspapers and confronted Muslims.

In a video heavily edited by the group, the leader said that they were mobbed, the exact circumstances surrounding these alleged assaults were difficult to see in the video.

"We were walking through...we just literally got mobbed. Muslims came back from every angle," the Britain First leader said. "They were threatening violence. People tried to attack me ... people tried to attack our activists. They're throwing things."

However, it appears that members of Britain First may have been the ones who initiated the conflict, which raised tensions between them and the local Muslims. They reportedly insulted young Muslim men and women in the area, which could have prompted the attack.

The group reportedly tried to imitate what the 'Muslim Patrol' did not so long ago, where they attempted to harass and shame the public in London, in the Whitechapel and Tower Hamlets in January 2013.

In order to ease the tension, a local priest, together with some Christians, gave out roses to the Muslims in Bury Park in order to show them the real side of Christianity.

Still, Britain First condemned the kind gestures and questioned their loyalty to Christianity.

Tell MAMA, a national project that records anti-Muslim incidents in the United Kingdom, were called for the authorities to arrest members of the Christian group.
