A political row has erupted in the UK after Conservative MP Nick Timothy criticised a public iftar gathering in London’s Trafalgar Square, calling it an “act of domination” in a post on X. Timothy shared a video of people offering prayers during the “Open Iftar” event and wrote that “mass ritual prayer in public places is an act of domination.”
He also described the public call to prayer as a “declaration of domination,” adding that such events “shouldn’t happen again.”
