London Mayor, Boris Johnson, is never one to shy away from controversy – especially when it comes to Muslims.

So when he suggested Muslim children whose parents are ‘radical’ should be taken into care, thousands of Muslims on Twitter and Facebook launched the hashtag ‘‪#‎SignsOfARadicalBaby‬ to ridicule his controversial comments.

The hashtag gained so much momentum that it at one point it was the top UK trend on Monday night.

Here’s our pick of some of the funniest tweets:

Of course there were some people who thought Boris Johnson was talking sense…

I completely agree with Boris Johnson. Children of radical muslims should be put into care. What chance do they have with parents like that?
