It was revealed in court that the perpetrator of London 's 2017 Finsbury Park mosque terrorist attack received emails from Robinson and read Robinson 's tweets in the lead-up to the attack . Robinson 's tweet mocking people for responding to terrorism with the phrase " do n't look back in anger " was found in the note at the scene of the attack . An email from Robinson 's account to the attacker Darren Osborne shortly before read , " Dear Darren , you know about the terrible crimes committed against name redacted of Sunderland . Police let the suspects go … why ? It is because the suspects are refugees from Syria and Iraq . It 's a national outrage … " Another email read , " There is a nation within a nation forming just beneath the surface of the UK . It is a nation built on hatred , on violence and on Islam . " Robinson responded on Twitter to the Finsbury Park attack , writing , " The mosque where the attack happened tonight has a long history of creating terrorists & radical jihadists & promoting hate & segregation , " and , " I 'm not justifying it , I 've said many times if government or police do n't sort these centres of hate they will create monsters as seen tonight . " Robinson 's statements were widely criticised in the media as inciting hatred . Appearing the next morning on '' Good Morning Britain '' , Robinson held up the Quran and described it as a " violent and cursed book " . The host , Piers Morgan , accused him of " stirring up hatred like a bigoted lunatic " , and Robinson 's appearance drew a number of complaints to Ofcom
