Gruppo di estrema destra offre denaro a “utili idioti” per attaccare le moschee nel Regno Unito

Vandalism of mosques, schools and community centres in the UK has been driven by an online far-right channel recruiting for a wave of graffiti incidents.

Extremism experts told The National that offers of £100 ($130) appeared on the Telegram messaging app to draw in people – described as “useful idiots” by campaign groups – who could prove they sprayed anti-Muslim graffiti on the buildings in London.

The graffiti was found on seven buildings in the UK capital at the beginning of the year. At the time, the Metropolitan Police said it was investigating “a series of shocking hate crimes”.

Tech Against Terrorism, a non-profit organisation which monitors online extremism, shared the name of the channel and its tactics with The National on condition the name was not revealed. The organisation is concerned that such exposure could trigger copycats.

Tell Mama, which records anti-Muslim hate in the UK, has also encountered the group and shared similar material before a report it is due to publish next week.
