Imam: Tories and Farage Right About Mass Muslim Prayer
21st March 2026
An Islamic leader has backed the Conservative Party and Nigel Farage after they criticised a mass prayer session for Muslim men in Trafalgar Square.
Writing for The Telegraph (see below), Dr Taj Hargey said he found the open-air worship on Monday, attended by hundreds of men, including Sir Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, “disturbing”.
He agreed with Nick Timothy, the shadow justice secretary, who described the event, organised by the Ramadan Tent Project, as an “act of domination and division” in an article for The Telegraph on Tuesday.
Historically, when Muslims conquered some place, they would mark the occasion with public prayers in the conquered territory. They expecially love turning Christian churches into mosques, as with Hagia Sopia in Constantinople.
