Palestine flag ripped up and call to ban mosques and burkas in western nations at Tommy Robinson festival

A PALESTINE flag was torn up and there were calls to "ban mosques and burkas" in western nations as Tommy Robinson's 'Uniting the Kingdom' festival took a religious turn.

During a Māori haka dance and speech by members of The Brotherhood of Christ from New Zealand, the speaker, Brian Tamaki, leader of New Zealand’s Destiny Church, suggested allowing secular humanism and other religions in Christain nations had led to their downfall.

He called for the banning of many things across the west, including mosques and burkas.

He said: “Islam, Hinduism, Baháʼí, Buddhism — whatever else you’re into — they’re all false. We’ve got to clean our countries up. Get rid of everything that doesn’t receive Jesus Christ. Ban any public expression of other religions in our Christian nations. Ban halal. Ban burqas. Ban mosques, temples, shrines — we don’t want those in our countries.”

The haka dancers then began to tear up a series of flags, including one representing secular humanism, the ISIS flag and the Palestinian flag.

It happened in the moments before Tommy Robinson addressed the huge crowd at Whitehall.
