Piers Morgan Grills MP And Imam Following London Bridge Attack

Piers Morgan Grills MP And Imam Following London Bridge Attack

"Why can you not answer a simple question?"

Piers Morgan had two heated discussions with Culture Secretary Karen Bradley and North London Imam Ajmal Masroor about the London Bridge terror attacks on Good Morning Britain.

He shouted at Mrs Bradley, the Conservative MP for Staffordshire Moorlands, as she refused to admit whether the number of police officers on the streets had decreased since Theresa May became Prime Minister.

He asked: "Why can you not answer a simple question?" and repeatedly said: "I will ask again."

A furious Piers continued: "Still I want a straight answer - do we have more or less armed police?"

In an earlier interview, he claimed that extremist mosques are being funded by Saudi radicals known as Wahhabists.

In his appearance of the show, Imam Ajmal Masroor repeatedly denied that any mosques in Britain are promoting radical views.

Mr Masroor said: "With due respect to you, do you have any evidence?

"If you know of a mosque like this please let me know, I'll be the first one to go and not only protest but demand its closure. I don't know of mosques who do this in this country.

"Anyone who does what we're all condemning, they don't become radicalised from mosques, they become radicalised from the internet."

Piers replied: "I can't let you get away with saying there's no Wahhabist preaching in this country, there are not Wahhabist mosques, because we know there are.

"For you to stand there and say this isn't happening at all means either you've got your head in the sand or you just don't want to recognise this problem."

Mr Masroor said: "Piers, I didn't say any of that, I said if you know of a mosque please tell me.

"Don't apportion the blame on the mosques when mosques and the Muslim community have played a huge role in keeping people safe."
