To those supporting the peaceful march, the educators desperately justifying racism.
You need to listen and seriously reflect. It’s disgusting that you are backing this filth.
"We have to remove Islam from every single place."
Kellie-Jay Keen, who describes herself as a women’s rights activist, is facing strong criticism after publicly making racist remarks during a Tommy Robinson–organised rally in London, calling for Islam to be removed from public institutions, including classrooms, official offices and public buildings.
In her speech, she said "it's not too late to get Islam out of our classrooms" and described it as "absolutely vital" to remove Islam from "every single place" in order to "save this country."
Critics have condemned the comments as promoting the forced exclusion of an entire religion from public life, arguing the language goes beyond political debate and into religious hate speech.
Some have also said the reaction highlights a double standard in how hate and extremist rhetoric is treated depending on which faith is being targeted, pointing to the expectation of a far stronger national response if similar language were directed at other religious faiths.
The remarks have intensified scrutiny of Keen’s public role and the nature of her activism, with opponents questioning the consistency between her stated advocacy and the hate rhetoric used in public statements.
