Labor candidate Keith Mason sacked over Islamophobic tweets – 5Pillars

George Galloway has sacked Labour’s candidate for Wakefield, Keith Mason, after a string of anti-Islam tweets appeared on his social media.

In the tweets, Mason insulted Islam and Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

The former rugby league player is a staunch Christian and accused Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) of being a “false prophet” and said “Islam without lies dies”.

The Labor Party relies on the Muslim vote for much of its support.

Labor leader Galloway initially defended Mason, saying he had repented for his comments and had been granted forgiveness at a mosque.

Galloway also emphasized Mason’s advocacy for Gaza.

But shortly after Galloway announced Mason’s firing.

Meanwhile, Mason himself has rejected accusations that he is Islamophobic.
