Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has called for a ban on public prayer by Muslims in the UK, sparking widespread condemnation from Muslim leaders and political figures. The comments were made during the launch of Reform UK's manifesto for the upcoming Scottish parliament elections.
Muslim leaders have denounced Farage's remarks as bigoted and warned of a "growing tide of hate" in the UK. The controversy appears linked to a recent prayer event held in London's Trafalgar Square, though specific details about the event were not provided in available reports.
