“Donald Trump was today accused of peddling ‘fake news’ and stirring up hate after he wrongly linked the rise in crime in England and Wales to ‘Radical Islamic terror.'”

The actual purveyors of fake news, however, are the British MPs who are attacking Trump over this, and claiming he attributed the rise in crime to the spread of “Radical Islamic terror.”

In reality, Trump wrote: “Just out report: ‘United Kingdom crime rises 13% annually amid spread of Radical Islamic terror.’ Not good, we must keep America safe!”

He said that the crime rate was rising amid the spread of jihad terror — as crime increased, jihad terror was also increasing. That is manifestly true. But as always, British authorities are more concerned with demonizing foes of jihad terror than with actually doing anything about jihad terror.
