Radio host cleared over 'scumbag' tweet jibe to Musilm campaigner Presenter Tim Burton is acquitted of racially aggravated harassment over tweet to Muslim campaigner
A radio presenter has been cleared of racially aggravated harassment charges over a tweet he posted about a decorated Muslim campaigner.
Tim Burton, from the newly formed far right political party Liberty GB, accused Fiyaz Mughal OBE of being a "mendacious grievance-mongering taqqiya artist".
In Islam Taqqiya is a form of religious dispensation allowing a Muslim to commit otherwise illegal or blasphemous acts while they are at risk of significant persecution.
