Far-right groups are unchristian, says Archbishop of Canterbury

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, condemned recent riots in the UK following the Southport stabbings, labeling them "racist" and "anti-Muslim."

He criticized far-right groups for exploiting Christianity to justify their actions and urged Christians to distance themselves from such groups, stating they are "unchristian."

He noted that misinformation on social media had fueled the unrest. Welby praised community efforts to mend tensions after the knife attack that claimed three children's lives. He has faced criticism for political statements regarding Israel's presence in occupied territories, emphasizing the need for sensitivity in such discussions.
