		</div><p>The chairman of the Conservative Muslim Forum has made a comparison between Boris Johnson and Adolf Hitler.</p>
<p>Mohammed Amin said he would quit the Tory Party after many years as a member if the UK&#8217;s former foreign secretary was elected leader.</p>
<p>Mr Amin told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: <em>“I am not prepared to be a member of a party that chooses him as its leader.</em></p>
<p><em>“I would resign after 36 years.”</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;A lot of Germans thought that Hitler was the right man for them.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Asked about Mr Johnson’s popularity with grassroots members of the party, Mr Amin said: <em>“There are many horrible people who have been popular. Popularity is not the test.</em></p>
<p><em>“The test is, is this person sufficiently moral to be prime minister, and I believe he fails that test.”</em></p>
<p>Mr Amin added:<em> “A lot of Germans thought that Hitler was the right man for them.”</em></p>
<p>Told that that was a shocking comparison, Mr Amin said: <em>“Yes.</em></p>
<p><em>“I am not saying Boris Johnson wants to send people to the gas chamber, clearly he doesn’t.</em></p>
<p><em>“He’s a buffoon.</em></p>
<p><em>“But he, as far as I’m concerned, has insufficient concern about the nature of truth for me to ever be a member of a party that he leads.”</em></p>
<p>Mr Amin went on: <em>“We don’t expect our politicians, our prime ministers, to be saints.</em></p>
<p><em>“But we do require a basic level of morality and integrity.</em></p>
<p><em>“And of all the candidates in the Conservative Party leadership election, Boris Johnson is the only one that I believe fails that test.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Mr Amin said a column Mr Johnson wrote last August comparing women who wore burkas to “letter boxes and bank robbers” had put some Muslim women at risk.</p>
<p><em>“He knew exactly what effect it would have – it would lead to Muslim women who wear niqab and burka being verbally abused on the streets; in certain cases being physically assaulted, with people trying to tear it off.</em></p>
<p><em>“He chose to mock Muslim women who wear niqab and burka for his own purposes.”</em></p>
