Spike in UK Islamophobia due to Saudi’s terrorism inspired by Wahhabism: Marcus Papadopoulos says

SANAA, July 24 (YPA) – The high level of anti-Muslim attacks in the UK largely stems from Briton’s ignorance of Islam, as well as Saudi Arabia’s spread of hate and terror through Wahhabism, a British political journalist said.

“There’s a great deal of ignorance about Islam in the UK and Islam in the West in general,” said Marcus Papadopoulos, the founder, and editor of Politics First magazine.

In an interview with Press TV, he indicated that “People in Britain are getting confused; they believe that what they see coming out of Saudi Arabia, they believe that what the terrorists (Daesh or ISIL) are saying in Syria equates to true Islam; well it doesn’t.

“What Saudi Arabia preaches at home and abroad is not Islam; it is a perverse, twisted interpretation of what is a peaceful religion,” he added. “And the terrorists in Syria, once again, do not represent Islam; they follow Wahhabism.”
