Dr. Imran Waheed “specialises in the treatment of sexual dysfunction, post traumatic stress disorder, depression and obsessive compulsive disorders, and also provides advice to courts in criminal cases on potentially dangerous individuals.” He is also a leading member of “Hizb ut-Tahrir (HT), which campaigns for an Islamic caliphate ruled by hard-line Sharia law,” and which is banned in many countries. What’s the problem? This is, after all, Abject Britannia, which David Cameron hopes will become a global leader in Islamic finance, and which bans counter-jihad activists from entering the country. So why not a Sharia advocate in the National Health Service? Dr. Waheed deserves a commendation from the Cameron government!
“‘Extremist’ working as psychiatrist for NHS,” by Patrick Sawer and Ben Lazarus for the Telegraph, April 6 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A British doctor responsible for the care of some of the country’s most vulnerable people can today be exposed as a senior leader of a radical Islamist party banned in several countries.
Dr Imran Waheed is a consultant psychiatrist at Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Trust (BSMHT), one of the largest of its kind in the country.
He specialises in the treatment of sexual dysfunction, post traumatic stress disorder, depression and obsessive compulsive disorders, and also provides advice to courts in criminal cases on potentially dangerous individuals.
But it can now be revealed that Dr Waheed is also a leading member Hizb ut-Tahrir (HT), which campaigns for an Islamic caliphate ruled by hard-line Sharia law.
Dr Waheed is named in the organisation’s current Media Information Pack, posted online, as its chief media adviser and one of its six leading members in Britain.
Under a HT ruled caliphate men and women would be segregated in public places, women and non-Muslims would be banned from holding positions of power and women would be required to wear the jilbab headscarf in public.
Alcohol would be also banned, along with same-sex relationships.
Furthermore HT refuses to recognise the state of Israel and has repeatedly called for it to be ‘dismantled’, although the organisation denies either advocating violent action or being anti-Semitic.
Critics have said his role as a NHS psychiatrist, paid for by the taxpayer, conflicts with his extreme views on women’s right, alcohol, and same-sex relationships.
In his capacity as media adviser Dr Waheed has previously advocated the setting up of an Islamic caliphate and claimed that Muslims in Britain are routinely treated as “terrorists” discriminated against by the courts, police and media.
Dr Waheed has also called on supporters of HT to undertake ‘jihad’ against Israel, telling followers at a rally at London’s Marble Arch, in 2009, that there could be “no peace or negotiations with the illegitimate entity of Israel.”
He has previously said that he would only condemn the London bombings of July 7, 2005, if Western leaders condemned what they had done in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Khalid Mahmood, the Labour MP for Birmingham Perry Barr, last night called on both the trust and the General Medical Council, which regulates all doctors, to examine whether Dr Waheed’s role as a consultant psychiatrist is compatible with his position within HT.
He said: “If Dr Waheed is as fervent about his views as I suspect he is, I find it hard to believe he can keep them separate from his practice as a psychiatrist working with very vulnerable people. It’s a bit like having a member of an extremist far-right party, such as the BNP, working in a multicultural, multiracial, community like Birmingham.”
Mr Mahmood also accused Dr Waheed and HT of “hypocrisy”, stating: “On the one hand he takes money from the state, through his employment by the NHS, on the other his party works to undermine it. HT’s British members benefit from all the freedoms the UK has to offer, yet they constantly criticise our secular, Western society.”
Ghaffar Hussain, who is Head of Research at Quilliam, which campaigns against radicalisation of young Muslims, said: “Vulnerable people suffering from mental health issues have a right to know if they are receiving counselling and care from an individual who is very senior in an extremist organisation such as HT.”
Hizb ut-Tahrir is banned from Birmingham Central Mosque. It’s chairman, Dr Mohammed Naseem, said: “Their views are not compatible with Islam and the Muslim community in Britain rejected them a long time ago.”
The party is banned from public activity in Germany because of its alleged anti-Semitism and is proscribed as a terrorist organisation in Russia and Pakistan. It is also banned in Turkey, Bangladesh and much of the Middle East.
Following the July 7 bombings in London, which killed 56 people, Tony Blair announced his intention to ban the group, but abandoned the plan after police and the security services advised that such a ban would drive it underground and make it harder to monitor its members’ activities.
However, HT is considered to be responsible for radicalising thousands of young British Muslims. It is estimated to have more than 8,000 members in the UK and is particularly influential on university campuses around the country. The National Union of Students has banned it from operating or staging meeting on campuses.
Although HT says it opposes acts of violence in the name of Islam, some British and US security experts claim the organisation acts as a ‘gateway’ for more extreme organisations.
In 2003, police searching the homes of Omar Khan Sharif and Asif Mohammed Hanif, following their failed attempt to blow up a bar in Tel Aviv, found HT literature among their possessions. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, was reportedly a former member of HT.
Dr Waheed’s work leaves him responsible for the mental well being of a huge number of people in the care of BSMHT, which covers 1.2 million people across the West Midlands.
He also delivers lectures to medical students, trainee psychiatrists and GPs on the cultural and ethnic aspects of mood disorders, ‘culture bound syndromes’ and the management of depression.
Dr Waheed, 36, also runs a private clinic in the centre of Birmingham, where he charges up to £350 for an initial consultation, and is a consultant psychiatrist at the Priory Group, a private hospital specialising in mental health problems and addiction.
He is a senior clinical lecturer at the University of Birmingham, has acted as a second opinion doctor for the Care Quality Commission, the health watchdog, and tutored at the Royal College of Psychiatrists.
Following the 7/7 London bombings Dr Waheed said: “I will condemn what happened in London only after there is the promise from Western leaders to condemn what they have done in Falluja and other parts of Iraq and in Afghanistan.”
He later clarified HT’s position, stating: “These actions have no justification as far as Islam is concerned.”
Dr Waheed, who lives in the Edgbaston area of Birmingham, has also called for a ban on the publication in Britain of cartoons printed in Denmark in 2006 which were said to be insulting to the Prophet Mohammed.
In 2012 he delivered a talk at the Arab Uprising conference, staged by HT in Manchester, in which he urged the adoption of a caliphate form of government, claiming it offered “superior and sophisticated political, economic and social solutions” to contemporary problems.
He has also said: “Ninety nine per cent of Muslim people anywhere in the world want the same thing, a caliphate to rule them.”
Dr Peter Lewis, executive medical director at BSMHT, said: “Dr Imran Waheed is a highly regarded clinician in the organisation and there have been no concerns raised with us relating to any impact of his external activities on his clinical work or on the quality of care provided to his patients.”
Hizb ut-Tahrir said Dr Waheed was no longer its chief media adviser and that it media pack is out of date, but admits he is still a member.
In a statement HT said: “The media pack on the site is out of date and he no longer holds the position he did some years ago. Indeed, he holds no official position in the organisation.”
Buraq says
This is one psychiatrist who’s completely nuts.
Clown!

He has also said: “Ninety nine per cent of Muslim people anywhere in the world want the same thing, a caliphate to rule them.”
Rubbish! Muslims are still fleeing to the West to get a better life than they have in Muslim countries.
(btw I find it weird that lunatics like this fellow and the Ford Hood murderer hold degrees in psychiatry. That surely says something about psychiatry and/or contemporary society. The blind leading the blind?)
Paul says
I hate to break it to you, but one needs a medical degree to become a Psychiatry. You are confusing it with phycology.
Maybe if we help him get a little more educated he will become one of the moderate majority, or, failing that; we could perhaps make sure it isn’t his financial problems that are leading to his extremist beliefs.
I am from the UK, it is to far gone. America is next. Get used to it, life becomes a lot less stressful when you give up on lost causes.
Paul says
EDIT; Psychiatrist.
gerard says
Psychiatrists have a first degree in Medicine (in UK: MBBS, Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery) and then a post-graduate degree in Psychiatry (in UK: DPM, Diploma in Psychological Medicine).
What I find bizarre is that someone with such an education can believe the Koran to be the word of God and Mo His prophet. But as others have pointed out, there were Nazi doctors and today there are highly qualified abortionists. Technical knowledge and ethics are not the same thing it would seem.
dumbledoresarmy says
You said:
“I am from the UK, it is to far gone. America is next. Get used to it, life becomes a lot less stressful when you give up on lost causes.”
So: how long until you recite the Shahada and join the Mob? – since it sounds like you have given up and given in.
Despair is one of the seven deadly sins.

But don’t forget that 93.72 percent of these figures are just made up…
mortimer says
If he were to treat Intermittent Explosive Disorder he would have to advise Muslims to leave their Death Cult, but he seems to be encouraging this extremely dangerous mental illness.
Another Dr Death like Nidal Hasan.
gerard says
Dr. Imran Waheed “specialises in the treatment of sexual dysfunction, post traumatic stress disorder,..”
..How to beat your wife?…How to counsel victims of Muslim rape gangs?…Support for survivors of Islamic Jihad?..
This is a joke?.. Right?

German Nazis were medical doctors and scientists and lawyers, etc. So, of course, they couldn’t be totalitarian supremacist genocidal anti-Jewish bigots, right? And many European genocidal anti-Jewish bigots throughout the past two thousand years have been uneducated and poor. So, of course, they couldn’t be genocidal anti-Jewish bigots, right? And so, of course, they couldn’t support educated wealthy European totalitarian supremacist genocidal anti-Jewish bigots, right? Just so: Leaders of the contemporary Islamic supremacist political movement are wealthy powerful elites, including leaders of Muslim countries, so, of course, they can’t be totalitarian supremacist genocidal anti-Jewish bigots, right? And very many of the members of Muslim and Arab societies are uneducated and poor, so, of course, they can’t be ideologically genocidal anti-Jewish bigots, right? And, so, of course, they can’t support educated wealthy Muslim and Arab non-Muslim ideologically genocidal anti-Jewish bigots, right?
The sympathetic bigotry held by Westerners toward non-Jewish non-European people, and the antipathetic bigotry held by Westerners toward Jewish people, is causing much harm.
Anti-Semitism 2.0, by Mudar Zahran
“The concept of the “evil Jew” has made a well-disguised comeback: …”
“This new form of anti-Semitism 2.0 is well-covered-up, harder to trace and poses a much deeper danger to the modern way of life of the civilized world than the earlier crude form of it, as it slowly and gradually works on delegitimizing Jews to the point where it eventually becomes acceptable to target Jews, first verbally, then physically — all done in a cosmopolitan style where the anti-Semites are well-groomed speakers and headline writers in jackets and ties; and not just Arab, but American and European, from “sanitized” news coverage of the most bloodthirsty radicals, to charges against Israel in which facts are distorted, selectively omitted or simply untrue, as in former President Jimmy Carter’s book on Israel.
“Why would a Palestinian be writing this? The answer is simple: …”
“…just as the old form of anti-Semitism has proven itself a threat as poisonous to its supporters, as it was to the Jews, the new form of anti-Semitism 2.0 could prove itself the same — all the more likely as we see the world tolerating Iran’s nuclear ambitions not necessarily out of love for the Mullah’s regime, but instead because of mental fixation against Israel.
“Such bias against Israel cannot be “accidental” or merely “unfortunate.” No other nation has received the amount of scrutinizing, criticism, coverage, demonization and delegitimization. In fact the question to be asked is not whether there is bias against Israel; but rather why there is bias against Israel? [sic]…”

I feel badly and uneasy because of my having posted my previous comment. There are two reasons why I feel badly and uneasy because of my having posted my previous comment. One of the two reasons why I feel badly and uneasy because of my having posted my previous comment is because I think that my writing the words “sympathetic bigotry” was unclear, and because I think that my writing the words “sympathetic bigotry” could be harmful, and because I think that, therefore, my writing the words “sympathetic bigotry” was wrong. The other one of the two reasons that I feel badly and uneasy because of my having posted my previous message is because I posted my previous comment because I was feeling vexation and and distress, and because I posted my previous comment while I was feeling vexation and and distress, and because, therein, I posted my previous comment with unwholesome intention — not with compassion nor good-will, but with anger and frustration. I apologize for doing that wrong action.
What I meant when I wrote “sympathetic bigotry” was “condescending sympathetic bigotry”.
Condescension is wrong. Bigotry is wrong. Supporting the holding of wrong views is wrong. Supporting the doing of harmful wrong actions is wrong. Doing harmful wrong actions is wrong.
Sympathy is good. Doing actions which are of benefit to oneself and all other living beings is good.
It is hard for me to not do any actions which are harmful to myself and others, and it is hard for me to do actions which are of benefit to myself and others, but I am trying to not do actions which are harmful to myself and others, and I am trying to do actions which are of benefit to myself and others.

So, this shining light, the future of foreign Britainistan “specialises in the treatment of sexual dysfunction”! Those who really believe that their “god” is going to reward anybody with 72 virgins in the hereafter who are bursting with milk and honey are the first ones who should be treated for a sexual dysfunction.
jewdog says
In Britain, the lunatics have taken over the asylum, and I include the authorities who have permitted so much Islamic immigration or appointed doctors like this in that assessment.
Salah says
“Dr. Imran Waheed “specialises in the treatment of sexual dysfunction”
I wonder if he uses “Kufeit” to treat his patients.
Kufeit is pot filled with meat sent by Allah to Muhammad through Gabriel (the angel) in order to cure the prophet of Islam from his sexual dysfunction!!!

All,
I am so amazed that you people find Dr Imran Waheed’s stance bewildering. He is taking this stance BECAUSE of who he is and WHO he treats.
“Dr. Imran Waheed “specialises in the treatments because that is his day job. He does a good job by all accounts. He has not hidden his soul’s desire for sharia…..his proclivity towards sharia is because he is a true and just muslim together with his life experiences….permit me to elaborate.
Years and years of living amongst kuffar and especially treating kuffar who are imploding due to their filthy sexual hang ups is has surprised him.
He has surmised that this imploding is due to the erosion of the status quo between the sexes….he is full of disgust when he is treating kuffara for “not being able to come”…or unable to sustain the “flowing of their sexual juices”.
Whilst he is exploring the symptoms …kuffara are explaining to him that “their husband will not succumb to her will”…..
“I WANT to be whipped” they say …”I WANT my nipp*es to be pinched with clothe line pegs”…
most of all …”I WANT him to call me a dog”….but instead he keeps talking about me “being a bitch…or pussy ” …it is not cats that I am interested in …I want him to call me a dog”…..but he won’t do it.
I mean he probably needs treatment himself after listening to that king of tirade. His religious teaching and his Imam tells him that “there is a better way”
…my son the way is “sharia”….women must know their place…and it is not to boss her husband (shared or not) in the way of sexual excesses.
His Imam has guided him…”do not be afraid to put yourself forward”….this path has been chosen for you by Allah SWT …go do.
So the good doctor is where he is today and asking for what he is …he is trying to help you.
Why therefore the surprise?
More Later…..

“The Pakistan Daily Times reports that a Google survey found that mostly Muslim nations seek access to sites of a sexual nature, and Pakistan is top of that list. Of the top 10 countries searching for sex-related sites, six were Muslim, and Pakistan was the leader, followed by Egypt (no 2), Iran (no 4), Morocco (no 5), Saudi Arabia (no 7) and Turkey at no 8. Vietnam was third, India at no 6, Philipines at 9 and Poland at 10.
In all of the following categories of bestiality, Pakistan was top of the list of Google searches for:
Pig Sex, with Egypt (no 2) and Saudi Arabia (no 3) following.
Donkey Sex, with India (no 2), Iran (no 3) and Saudi Arabia (no 4) following.
Dog Sex, with India (no 2), and Saudi Arabia (no 3)
Cat Sex (!!!), with Iran (no 2), Egypt (no 3) and Saudi Arabia (no 4) following.
Horse Sex, followed by India (no 2) and Turkey (no 3)
Cow Sex, with Iran (no 2), India (no 3) and Saudi Arabia (no 4) following.
Goat Sex, with India (no 2) and New Zealand (no 3) following
Animal Sex, with Morocco (no 2), India (no 3), Iran (no 4), Egypt (no 5)
It is truly bizarre that Pakistan should top the search lists for ALL of the above categories.
On a search for Gay Sex, the Philippines was top of the list, with Saudi Arabia coming in at number two. Forbidden fruits?“
