British Muslim boxer Amir Khan appeared on TV this morning to accuse terrorists of perverting his religion after the Manchester suicide bombing.

He said on ITV's Good Morning Britain: 'This is totally against our religion, if these people are saying that they're doing it because of Islam, I do not believe that's true. They're twisting Islam.'

The Bolton-born champion, 30, said he fears fellow Muslims including his two-year-old daughter will be targeted by racists because of the actions of terrorists.

He told Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid: 'I am Muslim and if I’m on the bus or train I don’t want them pointing at me saying, “we don’t want to be on the train with you”.'

Fearing for his daughter Lamaisah, he added: 'It’s getting worse and worse, and people will be pointing a finger at her and thinking “you’re a Muslim”, and [terrorists] give all Muslims a bad name.'

Khan urged his fellow Muslims to become more active in driving out terrorism.

'If you know information please go out there and report it,' he urged those watching.

'I think Muslims all have to stick together, in all different religions there is always good and bad – killing innocent people is not in the Koran, we all should stick together.'
