The leader of anti-Islam group, the United Patriots Front (UPF), has quit his position after claiming he was mocked by other "patriots" on video.

Shermon Burgess posted a video on the UPF Facebook page, announcing that he was handing over full leadership to the current Victorian leader Blair Cottrell.

"It's because of media, it's not because of death threats from Islam (sic), even though I've received many of those, it's because of dumb f*** patriots out there," Mr Burgess said on the video.

Mr Burgess accused a man of making a video mocking him and another member of the UPF.

He said other UPF members shared the video and laughed about it.

In the Facebook post, Mr Burgess listed the sacrifices he claims to have made for the UPF.

"I lost my job because of being involved in this movement," he said.

"I nearly lost my vehicle because of being involved in this movement.

"I almost ended up in jail because of this f***ing movement."

Mr Burgess formed the UPF when he split from the Reclaim Australia movement earlier this year.

He claimed that Reclaim Australia was being hijacked.

"We are more hardline nationalist compared to some other groups that are more democratic anti-Islam," Mr Burgess said in an earlier Facebook video post.

"The problem with democratic anti-Islam is a lot of these movements, without even realising it, can be diluted, watered down and become politically correct themselves."

The UPF were behind recent rallies against a proposal to build a mosque in Bendigo, and have bussed in protesters from interstate for other anti-Islam rallies.
