“Mohammed Sawalha’s role at the Finsbury Park Mosque, north London, was investigated by the Charity Commission after The Times revealed in 2017 that he had been appointed to Hamas’s political bureau. The mosque said it was aware of his Hamas role until the report. Mr Sawalha had been a trustee since 2010, making him legally responsible for the management.”
It looks as if the Times has a major typo there; it is fairly clear that it meant to say that the mosque said it was not aware that Sawalha was a Hamas leader until the report was published. This strains credulity, but the mosque in making this claim is trying to maintain the moderate reputation has had ever since the days when the one-eyed, hook-handed jihad terror preacher Abu Hamza was the imam there. Sawalha’s longtime presence on the Finsbury Park Mosque board suggests that the mosque is not as moderate as it claims to be, and should be investigated. But of course British officials will not dare undertake such an investigation.
“Hamas leader quits Finsbury Park mosque board after watchdog inquiry,” by David Brown, The Times, January 11, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A ruling member of Hamas has stood down as a trustee of one of Britain’s most prominent mosques after an inquiry by the charity regulator.
Mohammed Sawalha’s role at the Finsbury Park Mosque, north London, was investigated by the Charity Commission after The Times revealed in 2017 that he had been appointed to Hamas’s political bureau. The mosque said it was aware of his Hamas role until the report. Mr Sawalha had been a trustee since 2010, making him legally responsible for the management.
The US and EU designate Hamas as a terrorist group. Only the military wing is banned in Britain, meaning that Mr Sawalha has committed no offence.
Separately, the mosque became notorious in the 1990s as the base for the preacher Abu Hamza…

The Islamist beachhead mosque we are all to love; add this to their greatest hits having nothing to do with that thing whose purpose the place is dedicated toward. How progressive.

The Leftist narrative about Islam as a benign faith, is being systematically debunked by the Muslims themselves as they pursue their SUPREMACIST agenda.
The British people will not be able to maintain the denialism much longer.

Hope so. If humanity is ultimately sensible (something regrettably uncertain), the Koran contains within it the seeds for its own destruction.

England is lost! Churchill is not resting easy today! England has allowed the unfettered invasion
of Muslims into their country, knowing they will never acclimate or respect England’s way of life.
And paying millions in welfare, housing, medical, preventing violent crime, no go zones, etc ,which will eventually bankrupt England.
Just like France, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Canada, etc etc. At least Italy and Hungary and Poland are trying to keep their borders closed and their countries soverign ! Pope Francis is a traitor to the Vatican as well. He is a one world order plant to disrupt the Christian way of life worldwide! What a sham he is!
Hopefully Pres Trump will keep up his
fight for America’s soverignity too!! God bless America!!
Trump,2020

There’s another mosque in the UK papers today. This is very worrying in many way, mostly with concern over the historic level of child abuse in the UK – perpetrated by muslims in many cities.
The Telegraph uncovered these links in an investigation that also found that the scout group leader Ahammed Hussain segregated groups by gender, going against the organisation’s values.
Hussain has since been suspended pending a police investigation into safeguarding concerns
It was he who admitted encouraging members to be ‘Muslim first’, despite the Scouts commitment to ‘British values’.
Facebook records also show that Hussain promoted a group that’s owner donated money to David Irving, the Holocaust denier who described Hitler as a ‘great man’.
Back in December, the new chief ambassador for the global scouts movement – Bear Grylls – said the scouts can lead the fight against extremism by recruiting young Muslims in the UK.
He told the Sunday Telegraph: ‘We have hundreds of mosques every week, reaching out, asking, ‘Can we start up groups?’

Police called in after Scout group run from mosque is linked to Islamic extremist and Holocaust denier.
‘Police probe south London mosque-based Scout group linked to Islamic extremist over claims it segregates boys from girls and urges children to be ‘Muslim first’
The scout group for ages 10-14, is based in Lewisham Islamic Centre in London
It’s linked to Imam Shakeel Begg, who has in the past been called an ‘extremist’
Leader Ahammed Hussain segregated groups by gender, against Scout values
He also encouraged children as young as five to advocate wearing the hijab’.

The word has been out about Sawalha for a long time now. Sawalha

Ignorance is the great enemy. If only people had free and open access to all the facts about Islam this nonsense would never have got this far. 9/11 should have been a true Pearl Harbor for us, including the Europeans, but our so-called leaders who should have taken seriously their responsibility to clearly and realistically explain the danger we faced dropped the ball this time.
No wonder the IsLeftans go after Jihad Watch. This is the first place online I send anyone who honestly asks for the truth about Islam.

UK: Hamas top dog discovered to be trustee of Finsbury Park Mosque, steps down under pressure
………………
Well, this is good.
But why hasn’t this notorious Jihad Mosque been shut down long since?
Raja says
Gravenimage,
Ideally this mosque should be shut down but that is a distant dream. Which politician wants street demonstrations , arson, chest-beating over slightest “provocation” (most often NO provocation) of a so called religion?
Unfortunately, this bullying works in most parts of the world…
Islam is per se is evil and this is yet to be documented freely in government circles across globe, but then Islam does not allow any mention of its notorious prophet nor its lying and thieving god the devil.
So the world itself is a hostage to this “religion’, it is a sort of catch 22 situation…
