Excerpt:
Ukip today plunged into a fresh racism row after one of its candidates accused Muslims of turning a north London shopping district into "Helmand Province".
German-born Heino Vockrodt, standing in Brent, also accused Muslims of "grooming children to sex slaves", branded Islam a "totalitarian ideology" and declared that "cultures are not all equal".
He made the claims in an email, sent to Brent council planners, which accused the Afghan community of ignoring the refusal of planning permission by building an extension to a cultural centre in Church Road, Willesden, and changing its use.
