Paris attacks: Britain First's Paul Golding mistakenly tweets 2009 Pak cricket video to show Muslims celebrating

Paul Golding, the leader of Britain First, a far-right and British nationalist political party, has been slammed after posting a video on Twitter that falsely claimed was of Muslims celebrating the April 20 Paris attack.

As per reports, Golding tweeted the video on Friday afternoon, with the caption, “Oh look, a crowd of 'moderate' Muslims celebrating the Paris terror attack in London.” The tweet has subsequently been deleted.

The video, originally, shot in 2009, was of supporters of the Pakistan cricket team celebrating their side’s victory over Sri Lanka during a tour.

People shared the original video on Twitter, slamming Golding for stirring Islamophobia.

The latest attack on Paris was committed by 39-year-old Karim Cheurfi, who drove his silver Audi onto the Champs Elysee, the city’s most famous street, and killed two police officers on patrol duty.

Following Golding’s tweet, one person said, “Paris isn't mention, no radicalised flags. Are you sure this isn't a cricket celebration? English passers-by are even being embraced?” (sic)
