Leading UK Muslim activist accuses Mossad of stealing his shoe

I24NEWS – Leading British Muslim activist and founder of the Muslim Public Affairs Committee, Asghar Bukhari, took to Twitter Saturday night accusing the Israeli spy agency, Mossad, of breaking into his home and stealing his shoe.

The hashtag #MossadStoleMyShoe quickly began trending on Twitter and Facebook as many started responding to his rant, including the Zionist Federation, the leading advocacy organization for Israel in the UK and Arthur Lenk, Israel’s Ambassador to South Africa, Lesotho, Mauritius and Swaziland.

A petition was later launched “demanding the immediate and safe return of Asghar Bukharis sandal held hostage by the agents of the Zionist State, the Mossad.”

The rant was later removed by Bukhari from Facebook, but he took to Youtube and Facebook to defend his accusation, saying the “Zionists are getting their knickers in a twist” about what he posted.

Bukhari called on people to “be rational,” about what he was saying, adding that he had asked his family where his shoes went, and “no one knows anything about it.”

“Just be rational about it, if you found something out of place, wouldn’t it be odd when no one knows anything about it?” Bukhari asked.

He continued in the video to say that “a normal rational person may say, it’s so odd, why would someone come into my house and not rob me blind? No one comes in and steals one shoe and a pair of slippers. It’s a very odd thing to do. Why would I think it’s the Zionists?”

But, he said, he read a book about how in order to “intimidate pro-Muslim and pro-Muslim activits, Zionists broke into peoples’ house and rearrange something, put something in a different place.”

Bukhari called on the police to act and said that if they don’t it proves “the Islamophobic nature of the government.”

Bukhari is no stranger to controversy and is a harsh critic of Israel.
