“People like Humza Yousaf has infiltrated our system” – Douglas Murray drop Islamophobia comment.
He said: “This repugnant from neo-con ultra-right Douglas Murray who likes to fancy himself as a global intellectual but everyday shows his bigotry & bile.”
Elsewhere, actor and GMB host Adil Ray commented: “Why is this not bigger news? This is one of the most racist things ever said about a major leading minister.
“Murray works for some of the biggest media companies in the world. Until this stops, nothing stops.
Author of the War on the West and associate editor at The Spectator Douglas Murray took aim at Humza Yousaf during his appearance on The Rubin Report.
“He’s married to a Palestinian,” Murray said before describing Nadia El-Nakla as a “nasty piece of work”.
The writer added: “But people like Humza Yousaf, I say it carefully, have infiltrated our system. He does not seem to be much bothered by the situation of the Scottish people, or the people of Glasgow who have one of the lowest life expectancies not just in Britain but anywhere in Europe.
He does not seem to care about that or if he does, he does nothing about it. But my word if you look at his social media proclamations … you would think that he was indeed First Minister of Gaza.
“This is a problem that the Scots must sort out, the Scottish electorate must sort out, indeed the British electorate must sort out.”
Many have taken to Twitter/X to condemn Murray for his comments, including National columnist Gerry Hassan. Musk responded to a clip of Yousaf’s speech, saying: “What a blatant racist!”
In the speech, made when he was justice secretary, Yousaf highlighted the dominance of white people in positions of power in Scottish society.
A spokesperson for the First Minister hit back at the time, calling on the Twitter/X owner to tackle the “racism and hatred that goes unchecked on the social media platform he owns”.
