THE outgoing leader of Britain’s largest Muslim umbrella organisation issued a warning today about the “normalisation” of far-right figures.

Zara Mohammed, who is stepping down as general secretary of the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) after a four-year term, said that young Muslims in the country are experiencing a “deeply challenging time.”

She said that many are worried about the influence of X owner Elon Musk, and are choosing to stay away from the platform and certain other social media sites.
