The Archbishop of Canterbury has said people who twist Christian language and history to incite hatred against Muslims commit "blasphemy".
Most Rev Justin Welby also said recent deadly shootings at mosques in New Zealand were "monstrous", as he accused the perpetrator(s) of wanting "to create a war against Islam".
Speaking during an interfaith meeting at London Central Mosque, he said: "For British Muslims who are feeling under threat, we are with you.
"Hatred of Muslims denies and blasphemes Christ. Those who co-opt Christian language and history for hatred commit blasphemy."
