NEW: The Tories have *not suspended* two sitting councillors who compared "the tide of Islam" to Nazi Germany and said "every 11 year old girl" should be "frightened of Muslims"

Sayeeda Warsi personally asked CCHQ chief exec Mick Davis to act on John Moss, who harangued Muslims on Twitter and said "every 11 year old girl" should be "frightened of Muslims"

He is a councillor and key local organiser

CCHQ has not suspended him

Another Tory councillor Nick Coultish said "we will stand against the tide of Islam", which he compared to Nazi Germany

He has not been suspended either and can keep his place as a Tory councillor pending investigation

These are extraordinary decisions by CCHQ – previously the party has immediately suspended Islamophobic activists as part of its "zero tolerance" policy

But faced with evidence against two councillors and key local organisers, it has not suspended them

You've gotta feel that if Labour HQ had responded like this to two Labour councillors making equivalent extreme anti-Semitic comments, there would be widespread media coverage and outrage among their MPs

Muslim Council Britain blasts CCHQ decisions on John Moss and Nick Coultish: “By not even suspending the councillors, they have failed to even reach the low bar they have set themselves.”
