United States President Donald Trump retweeted three anti-Muslim videos which were originally posted by the deputy leader of the far-right group Britain First Jayda Fransen.
Britain First, which styles itself as a political party but has been condemned by campaigners as a far-right extremist group.
It calls on supporters to join the "British resistance" and "secure a future for British children" and has become known for paramilitary-style "invasions" targeting mosques, reported the Independent.
The first video, claimed to show "Muslim migrants beating up a Dutch boy on crutches".
A second re-post was captioned "Muslim destroys statue of Virgin Mary", while a third read "Islamist mob pushes teenage boy off roof and beats him to death".

According to reports, Fransen was found guilty of religiously aggravated harassment in November 2016 after abusing a Muslim woman wearing a hijab. Fransen was fined by the court and ordered to pay costs.
Separately, Fransen was also charged over using "threatening, abusive or insulting words or behavior" during a speech she made in Belfast in Northern Ireland.
She is set to appear at Belfast Magistrates Court on December 14.
