London, Oct 30 (ANI): British counter terrorism police are investigating a Muslim group after its members called an MP a "Jewish homo pig".
Conservative MP Mike Freer was at a mosque in Finchely, north London, when members of Muslims Against Crusades group hurled abuse, Express.co.uk reports.
They screamed at him that someone who is gay was "not welcome in a house of Allah".
Freer was targeted by the group because he had demanded that Palestinian Sheikh Raed Salah be banned from the UK this summer.
Salah was arrested in June and now faces deportation after Home Secretary Theresa May said his presence and his alleged virulent anti-Semitism was not conducive to the public good.
Freer, who is not Jewish but a member of the Conservative Friends of Israel and the All Party Parliamentary Group on Islamophobia, said the protesters were "aggressive" and that he had been forced to call Finchley's Met Police borough commander to complain.
According to the report, the Muslim group warned in a statement on its website that the MPs would not be welcomed in any Muslim area, and gave example of Stephen Timms, a Labour minister who was stabbed while holding an advice surgery in east London last year.
"We warn Mike Freer and every other MP in Britain that their presence is no longer welcomed in any Muslim area and that examples such as Stephen Timms should serve as a piercing reminder of this," the Muslims Against Crusades statement said. (ANI)
