Anti- racism campaigners have accused the leader of a veterans’ group of making “disturbing” comments about Islam.

Richard Inman faces the claims of anti-Muslim prejudice ahead of a Veterans Against Terrorism march in Edinburgh tomorrow.

A counter-demonstration has been organised by politicians, trade unions and activists.

Last night, Stand Up to Racism released screengrabs of a Facebook conversation in which Inman says the “entire Muslim religion is antichrist” and an Instagram post that calls on people to join “the struggle against the Islamisation of the UK”.

The group said the posts call into question claims by Inman that Veterans Against Terrorism don’t tolerate racist behaviour.

Stand Up to Racism also highlighted a link to English Defence League founder Tommy Robinson.

And Inman recently backed a football supporters “movement” who have been linked to the far-right.

The Football Lads Alliance, who plan to march alongside the veterans group, were set up by convicted soccer thug John Meighan.

One of their marches was described as “the biggest far-right rally since World War II”.

Inman said last night: “Stand Up To Racism are a discredited organisation.”
