Asked about the East London protest at a press conference today, Mr Farage said there was “proper racism happening in Tower Hamlets”.
The groups of mainly-men pledged to “defend their community” at the demo.
Balaclavas were reportedly being sold at £5 each at the protest to help attendees avoid being identified.
Chants included attendees shouting “We will honour all our martyrs” and “Allahu akbar”.

They also shouted: “Zionist scum off our streets”.
Mr Farage said: “This was intimidation to the point of basically urging the mass wipe out of huge numbers of Jewish people.
“It’s one of the most terrifying things I’ve ever seen in my whole life.
“Maybe one day the deluded left will wake up to realise they’ve been with very strange bedfellows.”
