Jeremy Corbyn has been branded a "terrorist sympathiser" by a Church of Scotland minister during a campaign visit.
As the Labour leader was entering the Heart of Scotstoun community centre in Glasgow on Wednesday, he stopped to tell broadcasters about a scarf he was wearing, which had been given to him by representatives of the Who Cares Scotland charity.
But he was interrupted by Richard Cameron, the minister at Scotstoun Parish Church, who shouted: "I thought you'd be wearing your Islamic jihad scarf.
"Do you think that the man who is going to be prime minister of this country should be a terrorist sympathiser, Mr Corbyn?
"Who's going to be the first terrorist invited to the House of Commons when you're prime minister?"
Mr Corbyn did not respond to the comments and walked away, to which Mr Cameron said: "Aye, he's running away."
The veteran Islington North MP has repeatedly denied "terrorist sympathiser" allegations levelled against him over the years.
It comes after Boris Johnson was heckled today as he visited flood-stricken Yorkshire by locals saying he had "not helped them".
The Labour Party leader came under fire last year after pictures surfaced of him at a wreath laying ceremony near the graves of members of Black September, which was behind the killing of 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics.
At the time, Labour said he attended the event only to remember victims of a 1985 Israeli air strike on Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO) offices in the Tunisian capital of Tunis.
A Church of Scotland spokesman said: “There has been significant concern raised today about the comments made by Rev Richard Cameron and his social media use.”
“At this stage all we can say is that there is a formal complaints process and that any complaints we receive in relation to this matter will be taken seriously and addressed.
“We do deplore any comments which are Islamophobic or homophobic.”
“The Church of Scotland works closely with our Islamic neighbours and the General Assembly has taken a strong position and said formally that we decry homophobia in any form."
