Architect struck off for Facebook comments about Jews and Muslims

The Architects Registration Board

Arb says architect’s cult claims and call for ban on holding public office brought profession into disrepute

An architect has been struck off the professional register because of a Facebook post in which he described Jewish people and Sunni Muslims as cult members and called for them to be banned from public office.

Peter Kellow made the comments on the social media forum as part of a lengthy posting in which he denied the existence of a Jewish race and called for Jews, Sunni Muslims, Freemasons and Scientologists to be subject to compulsory registration. (See box below for full transcript.)

The architect, who is a member of RIBA’s Traditional Architecture Group and stood for the RIBA Council in 2014 and 2018, was reported to the Architects Registration Board over the comments, which were made in April last year.
