Muslim leader offers to educate North Yorkshire Ukip canvasser accused of racism

The Northern Echo: by Joe Willis.

A MUSLIM community leader tonight offered to teach the peaceful message of Islam to a UK Independence Party (Ukip) canvasser suspended from the party for posting sickening anti-Muslim comments and images on-line.

Wadood Ahmad Daud, a youth leader with the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association North-East (AMYA), welcomed Ukip’s decision to suspend Tony Nixon – but said he did not want to see the activist prosecuted.

Mr Daud said the Prophet Muhammad spent his life demonstrating that Islam was a religion of peace.

He added: “Mr Nixon’s comments seem the result of his ignorance about Islam and its true teachings of peace.
