Anti-Muslim poster displayed at UK eatery sparks controversy

The offensive poster tells Muslims to 'get out of our countries'

Customers of a local eatery in Middlesex, England were angered after seeing an anti-Muslim poster displayed on its notice board telling Muslims to 'get out of our countries.'

The offensive poster was displayed on a notice board in Weatherspoons which read, "MUSLIMS. Are you unhappy with our countries? Are you offended by our culture? Would you prefer to live under sharia law? Then we have a simple solution for you… go back to where you came from. You can live under Muslim rule there and enjoy it as much as you like!"

A 28-year-old who is a regular customer at the eatery, said he was disgusted by the poster which is allegedly the work of the Infidel Brotherhood.

"I was absolutely disturbed to see this vile poster on display in my local pub, let alone in the biggest pub chain in the UK. I only popped in for lunch with a friend from work who happened to be a Muslim, but we were so upset by it we were forced to leave” he said.

Expressing his shock on seeing the poster he said that he won't go back to the same pub again and that racist propaganda should not be allowed in Britain.

"It is disgraceful that J D  Wetherspoon pubs are allowing this anti-Muslim propaganda to be displayed - I'd hate for any Muslim to think all British people are racists because of this." he added.

However, a spokesperson for the pub apologised for the poster claiming that the staff had no knowledge of it being displayed, and the poster was removed as soon as the staff  were made aware of it.

"The customer notice board, which is regularly checked and monitored by staff, has now been completely cleared of all material, whatever the content. The Moon on the Square is a community pub, proud of its diverse customer base, and has always been fully committed to operating in a non-discriminatory way," a statement from the pub said.

Muslims have become unjust racist targets since the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris.

Many took to Twitter after being angered by the poster:
