The leader of the anti-EU and
anti-immigrant United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) set off
a furore Thursday when he appeared to blame British and French
multicultural policies for yesterday's bloody attack on Charlie
Hebdo satirical weekly in Paris.
Nigel Farage also reportedly blamed open immigration
policies and said Europe is facing a "fifth column" of "people
living in these countries, who hate us".
British Prime Minister David Cameron criticized Farage,
saying "I think today is not the day to make political remarks
or political arguments".
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said he was "dismayed" at
Farage's remarks, which Labour MP Tessa Jowell said were
"disgusting".
