Twitter users shared words of comfort and solidarity yesterday in the wake of Wednesday’s Westminster terror attack. @DMU_IMAM quoted: “‘If anyone killed a person to spread mischief in the land it would be as if he killed all of mankind…’ [Qur’ān 5;32]” @christopherward shared: “I’m a Londoner. Before yesterday, Muslims were my neighbours. Today they remain so. Nothing’s changed.

#KATIEHOPKINS

Katie Hopkins caused uproar after suggesting Britons ‘were cowed and afraid’ on an interview with Fox News. @dpatrikarakos wrote: “People like Katie Hopkins & Nigel Farage claiming Brits are cowed & scared today are liars selling their country out for Fox News soundbites.” @cononeilluk tweeted: “Dear America, Katie Hopkins does not speak for London. She speaks for herself. A delusional, famehungry, desperate wannabe.” @Rupertmyers noted: “Having Katie Hopkins on Fox News to talk about British sentiment would be like having Dr Harold Shipman on to discuss best medical practice.”
