Body

"FAR-RIGHT fanatics could form a 'sizeable army of terrorists' on social media, UK experts warned last night. Professor Anthony Glees of the Centre for Security and Intelligence Studies said: 'In a particular country, there may be a small minority of maybe hundreds of neo-Nazis. But if they can communicate with each other in different countries on social media, they could be a sizeable army of terrorists.' Joshua Fisher-Birch of the Counter Extremism Project said a video warning of an impending 'Islamic invasion' over a background of flames was far more difficult to remove. He said: 'It is tying into the idea of a historical opposition to Islam. And this is very powerful because it is talking about someone coming to threaten your way of life and your family.'"
