Politician criticised for ‘Allah Akbar arrest’ comments | LBC reaction

In light of riots and counter-protests taking place, Conservative Party leadership candidate said that it is 'wrong' to chant Allahu Akbar 'without being arrested'.

In reference to the comments, Labour MP Afzal Khan expresses to Tom that 'the use of language has consequences'.

Caller Laila says she's 'sick and tired of pandering to ignorance', and Ned says that Robert Jenrick is an 'idiot’.

Muslim politicians have accused the Conservative MP of "nasty divisive rhetoric" and "textbook Islamophobia" for his comments about the Arabic phrase meaning God is great.

Mr Jenrick was speaking about claims that far-right riots over the last week have been dealt with more harshly than other recent unrest, pointing to the policing of pro-Palestinian demonstrations in the capital.
