Internet gaffe by US government as UK extremist’s sharia law photo used in free speech ad
The photograph shows Muslim women, all in black burkas, running a campaign stall in Dalston, East London
- US government posted a British Muslim extremist’s photograph online
- Picture showed veiled women calling for sharia law during London protest
- State Department used photo as an inspirational example of free speech
- But the banner was also used in an extremist campaign for strict sharia law
The US government has made a bizarre internet gaffe by posting a British Muslim extremist’s photograph of veiled women calling for sharia law, citing it as an inspirational example of free speech in the West.
The American State Department’s ‘Think Again Turn Away’ campaign is designed to dissuade Muslims from joining IS – also known as ISIS – and other extreme groups.
The campaign posted the picture on its Twitter account last week, adding: ‘In open societies, all faiths enjoy freedom of speech; under ISIS rule, no such thing as freedom of expression.’
