Heads of mosques in the UK have warned brawls can break out and tensions escalate if far-right rioters persist in harassing and attacking ethnic minorities. The concern comes as far-right rioters are expected to come out in droves on Wednesday in cities like Oxford, Liverpool, Middlesbrough, Sheffield, Stoke, as well as London. “Our message was very clear: allow the police to do their work. We don’t use the language of violence. Our first response is to pray, to call on a higher being and ask for protection for everyone in the country,” says Haniya Adam of Green Lane Masjid in Birmingham.
