Responsible department: Department for Culture, Media and Sport
Dipu Sultan Ahad has shamed NUFC fans everywhere by implying that Newcastle United fans are members or supporters of the Islamic State Jihadist extremist terrorists.
The Labour Councillor for Elswick ward in Newcastle upon Tyne posted a public picture on his Twitter and Facebook pages showing Islamic State terrorists holding a Newcastle United flag with the caption “Tony Army!!”
Ahad actually condones and sympathise or support the atrocities of ISIS, in the name of Islam. This happens at a time of racial tensions in the city, which Ahad seems desperate to heighten by making everything about race and religion, rather than seeing people as people. Is he trying to divide NUFC fans?
We want him out of office and not to be able to stand again for the disrespect he has caused

The silence from the council office is unacceptable given the severity of these posts. I am currently drafting formal complaints to the Labour Party leadership to ensure they cannot ignore this any longer. Please email your local representative today to demand they address this conduct immediately.

How is this man still in a job? He represents the public and he is acting like a total idiot online. Get him out.
He clearly hates the fans. Why is he even in office??
NEVER seen anything so offensive. My kids go to those games and he has the nerve to say that?? Resign now.
The man is a clown. He should have been fired the second that tweet went up. Not fit to represent Elswick.
Absolute disgrace. You cant just go around accusing match going fans of being associated with terrorists. Pack your bags.

Disgusting behavior from someone in his position. He is meant to be bringing the community together not causing drama like this.
