An American journalist has painted a dangerously inaccurate picture of religious tensions in Britain in the wake of the Paris terror attacks.
Speaking on FOX News, Steven Emerson suggests that some UK cities are completely populated by Muslims who don’t allow any people with differing religious beliefs into their community.
He goes on to accuse Muslim police officers in London of ‘seriously wounding’ people who don’t dress in ‘Muslim attire’.
Mr Emerson said: ‘And in Britain, it’s not just no-go zones, there are actually cities like Birmingham which are totally Muslim where non-Muslims simply don’t go in.
‘And in parts of London, there are actually Muslim police that actually beat and actually wound seriously anyone who doesn’t dress according to religious Muslim attire.’
The factual blunder has prompted the hashtag ‘#FoxNewsFacts’ on Twitter.
