He added derisively that it was "intimidation to the point of sort of basically urging the mass wipe out of huge numbers of Jewish people".
"I actually think it's one of the most terrifying things I've ever seen in my whole life."
Mr Farage's comments followed the major protest and counter-protest over the weekend, with one of the men shouting through a megaphone to "stand firm" and "defend our community".
The columns of masked Muslim men could be seen chanting "Allahu Akbar" in London as hordes of men marched along the way.

It has not been banned, police asked the organisers to re-route their march owing to racial tension fuelled by online misinformation which was likely to result in serious disorder. Another march by the same group last October - charmingly named "The Mass Deportation Tour" - was re-routed from Tower Hamlets to central London for a similar reason.
UKIP is a political party, not a religious organisation. It cynically adopted the "Walk with Jesus" title to maximise publicity.
London, like the rest of the UK, is run by a secular authority. It remains one of the safest capital cities in the world, despite the creative efforts of part time MP and Kremlin advisor Nigel Farage to encourage others to trash the neighbourhood (as he did many other neighbourhoods in July-August 2024).

When Muslims heard about the upcoming event they took to the streets and promised violence
if the event went forward. It terrified Farage, so he shut it down. This is what he said.
Nigel Farage has compared "terrifying" columns of masked Muslim men to a "foreign invading army" when asked about the recent march in east London.
A group of masked Muslim protesters descended on Whitehall to "stand firm" and show that they were "ready to defend our community" in retaliation against a United Kingdom Independence Party (Ukip) protest on Saturday.
Donning black clothing and balaclavas, the group brandished Palestinian and Bangladeshi flags as they marched down Whitehall.
Now, finally giving a verdict on the matter, Mr Farage fumed: "There was proper racism happening in Tower Hamlets over the weekend."
