A POLICE force has deleted social media posts about Islamophobia Awareness Month after users pointed out its logo was similar to a hand gesture popular with Islamic State (IS).

Bedfordshire Police posted their support for the annual campaign, led by non-profit organisation Muslim Engagement and Development (Mend), on Facebook and Twitter on Tuesday afternoon but removed today.

The logo features a fist with the index finger pointing upwards, a gesture apparently favoured by followers of IS, also known as Daesh and Isis, in propaganda photographs.
