Matt Goodwin has hit back at social media users who have jumped on the far-right again following terror attacks in Germany.
Taking to social media, he wrote: "The response to terrorist attacks is not to have a debate about how the “far-right” might respond.
"It is to debate how we eradicate violent Islamism in Western societies. If you want to get rid of the far right then begin by making people feel safe in their own countries."
It comes as an asylum seeker from Syria who has been arrested on suspicion of killing three people and injuring another eight following a knife attack in western Germany is believed to be a member of Islamic State, a German federal prosecutor said.
Authorities said the 26-year-old man turned himself in and admitted to the crime. Der Spiegel reported that the man moved to Germany late in 2022 and sought asylum.
On Saturday, Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attack.
The suspect stabbed passers-by who were attending a city festival in Solingen at around 9.45pm (local time) on Friday.
Police said the attacker targeted victims' throats, with the attacks "very targeted" at people's necks.ISIS described the man who carried out the attack as a "soldier of the Islamic State" in a statement on its Telegram account.
They wrote: "He carried out the attack in revenge for Muslims in Palestine and everywhere."
The incident took place at a festival in Solingen - some 25 kilometres from Dusseldorf - which began on Friday and was supposed to continue over the weekend.
An urgent manhunt was launched on Friday following the horrific incident.
