Tommy Robinson, the leader of Pegida UK, has been attacked on Twitter by liberals following his condemnation of the terror attack in Nice as an Islamist atrocity.
As news broke that 84 men, women and children had been brutally murdered by a single French-Tunisian terrorist, Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, shortly after watching a Bastille Day firework display in Nice, southern France last night, Robinson took to Twitter to condemn the attacks.

But he was immediately jumped on by liberals, who accused him of spreading “hate”.

Cunts like Tommy Robinson only make these situations worse by spreadin more hate which is the reason we’re in this mess in the first place

And while some merely wished he could be silenced…
It’s scary that people like Tommy Robinson are genuinely allowed an opinion.

… others hoped he would be killed.

I hope Tommy Robinson chokes on his racist bullshit

Another asked for Robinson’s address so that he could fight him (although he later changed his mind, deleting his tweets):
Pro-Islamist wants to prove Islam is a #ReligionOfPeace by beating up critics of Islam. pic.twitter.com/9Bbkq1R0D9

But Robinson was unapologetic:
Jihadi terrorists ram truck into huge crowd in Nice. 30 dead
Left-wing reaction: “Ooh I hope this doesn’t increase Islamophobia in France”
— Tommy Robinson (@TRobinsonNewEra) July 14, 2016
Others meanwhile stepped in to defend Robinson, praising his willingess to speak out against Islamist terrorism.
Funny how every time Islam attacks, @TRobinsonNewEra gets more threats/abuse/anger aimed at him than the terrorists do #priorities

Been doing twitter rsearch (valid). And after sifting thru the SJW bullshit and main st media I can announce Nice was @TRobinsonNewEra fault

But elsewhere on Twitter, Robinson’s point of view has been popular as fierce debate raged over how best to respond to the attacks. France has now suffered three large-scale terrorist attacks in the last eighteen months, including the attack on the Charlie Hebdo offices which saw six cartoonists murdered, and last November’s attack on nightspots in Paris which left 137 dead.
In addition, the country has witnessed a number of smaller-scale attacks, including the fatal stabbing of a police officer and his wife in front of their young son in June.
Some have called for a crack down on those who support or incite terrorism, and for tighter border controls to stop terrorists coming into the country. But others have denounced those calls as hateful or Islamophobic.
Really pisses me off that people tweet this when there is NO INFO AT ALL on the driver’s race/religion #franceattack pic.twitter.com/i52sX24LdU

@RmSalih what are you doing about intolerant #islam? Start with your own problems and religion first! #virtuesignaller #hypocrite
— Michael Burns (@ooohouchburn) July 15, 2016
We are at a point where apparently we deserve to be attacked and killed if we dislike or question Islam, because islamophobia is to blame..
