A Labour party election candidate has been forced to apologise after claiming there is ‘no proof’ terror group Isis exists.

Safia A’Noor, 25, posted the remarks on Facebook in the wake of the Westminster terror attacks, which left five people dead, telling her followers to ‘relax’.

She even liked an article which suggested the 9/11 attacks were ‘carried out by the West to justify the war on terror’, shortly after the 15th anniversary of the atrocity.

The law student has been selected as the Labour candidate for Small Heath, Birmingham, in next year’s city council elections.


Writing on her Facebook page on March 22, the day of the Westminster terror attack, she wrote: ‘Can people relax and stop fighting on Facebook, sadly people died in Westminster today but people die everyday in Syria, Palestine, Africa, Rohingya, Kashmir.

‘Need I carry on?!! Grow up and stop pointing fingers!’



Below the message, she posted the hashtags ‘#AdultsPlayingDumb’ and ‘#UnityNotWar’.

Later that day, the political activist and school governor posted: ‘Terrorist attack…and even the terrorist died?!

‘Let me guess, he was a Muslim!’

On March 27, Ms Noor reacted furiously to a national newspaper headline that read: ‘Westminster attacking Khalid Masood had interest in Jihad – police.’

Commenting on the article on Facebook, she said: ‘So someone got stabbed after the attack last week as a result of media and government claiming that SO CALLED ISIS HAD CLAIMED RESPONSIBILITY.

‘There is no ISIS, and there is no proof.’

And on September 16 last year, she liked a Facebook article headed: ‘Egyptian state media claims 9/11 was carried out by West to justify war on terror.’

Ms A’Noor has now apologised for her social media activity and deleted the posts from her Facebook page.

In an emailed statement, she said: ‘Having read these comments back I accept I should have chosen my words more carefully.

‘I didn’t intend to cause any offence and I apologise to anyone who found those comments offensive or upsetting.

‘I completely condemn all terrorist acts.’
