MUSLIM leaders have lodged an official complaint with the organisers of London Pride after a group was seen carrying placards with apparently Islamophobic messages at the event.

The offending banners, which included slogans reading “Allah is Gay,” “Fuck Islamic Homophobia” and “East London Mosque incites murder of LGBTs,” were condemned by Muslim and anti-racist organisations.

East London Mosque spokesman Salman Farsi said on Saturday that it had written to organisers warning that the group was inciting hatred against Muslims.
