The Nolan Show: Muslim leader says community frightened after gang pose outside an Islamic prayer centre in Ku Klux Klan outfits

BBC Radio Ulster - The Nolan Show, Muslim leader says community frightened after gang pose outside an Islamic prayer centre in Ku Klux Klan outfits

The incident happened in Newtownards at the weekend.

Muslim leader says community frightened after a gang pose outside a Newtownards Islamic prayer centre in Ku Klux Klan outfits.

A group of people dressed in Ku Klux Klan outfits posed outside an Islamic prayer centre in Newtownards on Saturday night. Photographs on social media also appear to show the group walking around the town, and there are reports that they visited bars in the area. Police have been urged to investigate the incident as a hate crime and to examine CCTV in a bid to identify the people involved. Stephen spoke to Dr Raied Al-Wazzan of the Belfast Islamic Centre, who knows the Newtownards Muslim community very well, and Ulster Unionist MLA Mike Nesbitt.

Also on the programme, the owner of Leicester City FC died when his helicopter crashed outside the stadium, the club has confirmed. Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, two members of his staff, the pilot and a passenger were killed when the aircraft spiralled out of control and crashed shortly after it had taken off from the pitch. It had just cleared the King Power Stadium, after taking off from the centre of the pitch, when it came down at around 8:30pm on Saturday night. Stephen was presenting on 5 Live as this story was breaking on Saturday night - here's what one eyewitness - Leo - told him about what he saw.

And, Ban fireworks to help tackle anti-social behaviour? That's the call from police in Manchester. We are repeatedly told of the dangers of fireworks, and with their consistent use in anti social behaviour - should we consider a ban here? Stephen got the views of commentators Lata Sharma and Andrea McVeigh.

All that and more on the biggest show in the country.
