Muslim patrols story
Hines received criticism from Islamophobia Watch (IW) in 2013 for an article regarding an attack on US student Francesco Hounye, erroneously linking the attack to alleged "Muslims patrols" [sic], and claiming that Detective Constable Ben Mott "called upon the Muslim community to identify the men who left a tourist scarred for life", despite no such comments being made towards Muslims. The former leader of the anti-Islam English Defence League, Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, "seized on Hines' inaccurate and inflammatory report to spread another poisonous story about Muslims", according to IW.

Antisemitism
+	Florensky is regarded by several sources as being thoroughly antisemitic, and the evidence has been closely examined by Michael Hagemeister. His private letters, written at the time of the ritual murder accusation or blood libel laid against Menahem Mendel Beilis, show clearly that he believed Jews murder Christians to obtain ritual blood. Florensky's influence has been detected in the vociferous antisemitism of Vasily Rozanov. Rozanov's The Tactile and Olfactory Attitudes of the Jews towards Blood acknowledges the help of a friend whom historians suggest was probably Florensky. For his biographer Avril Pyman, Florensky contributed two essays to Rozanov's tract, a critique of Daniil Khvolson's thesis that blood sacrifice did not form part of ritual practice in ancient Israel, and a "Letter from the Caucasus". Both Florensky and Rozanov have been described as sufficiently extreme in this regard that they incited direct violence against Jews. Responding to claims that Florensky used Rozanov to publish his own views under the latter's name in order to avoid giving a public impression he, Florensky, was associated with the Black Hundreds, Pyman counters that Florensky expounded his views in a climate where, regarding the Beilis case, Russian liberals on the one hand excoriated the country's backwardness while groups such as the Black Hundreds went to the other extreme of instigating pogroms. Florensky, he claims, did not regard rituals of sacrifice involving blood in themselves to be superstitious.
