Islamic centre burnt down in the Netherlands by suspected far-right arsonist as tensions continue to rise across the continent.

Dramatic footage shows the moment emergency crews arrive to tackle the huge blaze at an Islamic centre in the town of Culemborg.

Police have launched a hate crime investigation believing it may have been the target of violent skinheads.

The intensity of the blaze was enough to spread to two neighbouring buildings that contained heat resistant asbestos, officials said.
