Trawling through Facebook it is all too easy to come across views which many people will find reprehensible. But who are these people? And would they articulate such views if faced by a Muslim face-to-face? 

Or are they happy to state these from their phones and laptops?

And why is Facebook allowing comments to fester further feelings of resentment?

Immediately after the terror attack near the Muslim Welfare House many people took to Facebook to share their views.

Here are just some of the responses to post from the Britain First Facebook page.

(Spelling in posts and comments have not been altered)

A post under 'Finsbury Park Mosque was notorious as a haven for Islamist terrorists and extremists!’ includes the following responses.

Ron Johnson said, “Demolish all the fxcking mosques, they are totally out of character with our buildings, I'm sure they would let me put a gold dome on my house, the goverment is all one side , they must be taking plenty of back pocket money for letting the Muslims do what they wont.”

Matthew Feldvari-Sinclair who hails from Canada said, “ Back in the former yugoslavia they knew how to deal with the filth”. 

Obviously referring to the genocide committed against Muslims.

There are again people trying to speak out against such comments but they are drowned out on many posts.
