Nigel Farage has weighed in on an argument over an Islamic message displayed at King’s Cross Station.
A display board featured an Islamic teaching that described people as "sinners" who must "repent", to mark the ninth day of Ramadan.
Taking to social media, the GB News' presenter fumed: "Aren’t we supposed to be a Christian country?"
It comes after the display at the central London train station was slammed as "totally inappropriate" by GB News viewers.

The message read: "Day 9. Fajr 04:25. Hadith of the Day
"The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) [Peace Be Upon Him] said: All the sons of Adam are sinners but the best of the sinners are those who repent often."
It was broadcast on a full side of the display board beneath the time.
One GB News viewer said: "Public bodies, especially when they receive state funding, should not be seen to favour one religion over another - that’s even when we have no official separation of church and state.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
"There should be a clear distinction between secular and religious spaces and this is blurring that boundary.
"You only have to turn a few pages in religious texts like the one quoted and you’ll find something scientifically incorrect, morally reprehensible, or totally insane.
"Businesses and, again, especially where they’re subsidised by my tax money, should not associate themselves with such things."
Network Rail has now issued a statement amid confusion as to why the message was displayed.
The sign quoted a Hadith which said "All the sons of Adam are sinners but the best of the sinners are those who repent often"GB NewsA spokesperson said: "King’s Cross station is made up of a diverse and multi-cultural workforce and at times of religious significance, messages such as these are displayed to celebrate the station’s diversity and inclusivity.
"Throughout the year, messaging at the station also celebrates festivals from other religions including Easter, Christmas, Passover, and Diwali to mark the beliefs of our colleagues and passengers.
"If significant disruption occurs on the network, the boards are changed to display relevant passenger information to help passengers complete their journeys."
