Nigel Farage sees it differently as he expressed his opinion on his radio show last Sunday.

The local police didn’t bend over and support the terrorist attack the other month in Barcelona.
Now the national government is stripping their top officers of their powers.
Islam is a war plan.
The Catalan police botched the prevention of the recent attack because while the FBI had informed the Spanish National Police of it, when the latter informed the Catalan police (Catalonia maintains its own separate huge police force), the Catalans shrugged off the warning. This was despite the fact that the known Islamist imam who was the center of the plot accidentally blew up himself up near Tarragona and they found 100 propane tanks in his back yard (the Muslims had planned to load up trucks with the propane tanks and blow them up when the drove down the Rambla(.
The fools couldn’t believe that “their” Muslims would do a thing like that. And yes, the Muslims are salivating over “independence.” They are all behind it and see it as a chance to get their first Muslim country in Western Europe.
Catalonia has also been taking in large numbers of foreign Muslims, partly just to spite the rest of Spain (which has been trying to avoid taking in large numbers of Muslims).
So, if the Catalans are pro-Islam, then the EU supporting Spain against Catalonia secession is anti-Islamic?
Having been to Barcelona a few months ago, I can say I saw much less of a Muslim presence there than in Paris or London.
