Imagine how embarrassed GB News and British authorities are going to be when they discover that Abu Usamah is not an “extremist,” but is preaching standard Islam. Take, for example, what is breathlessly quoted below about two female witnesses equalling one male witness. That’s straight from the Qur’an: “And call to witness, from among your men, two witnesses. And if two men be not available, then a man and two women, of such as you approve as witnesses, so that if the one errs, the other will remember.” (2:282) But willful ignorance is not just pandemic in Britain. It’s a requirement of all citizens.
“Taxpayers’ funding to controversial mosque halted amid investigation,” by Charlie Peters, GB News, August 25, 2023:
A Birmingham mosque with a long history of hosting controversial speeches recently awarded millions in taxpayers’ cash has had its grant paused after a GB News investigation.
The Green Lane Masjid and Community Centre in Birmingham was awarded £2.2million from the government’s Youth Investment Fund this month to expand its youth services.
The grant, from the Department of Culture, Media and Sport, was awarded for the development of a new youth centre offering programmes on leadership, critical thinking, arts and culture and “empowering marginalised communities,” according to BirminghamLive.
Distribution of the funds is being managed by Social Investment Business (SIB), but GB News understands that funding to the Green Lane Masjid and Community Centre has been paused while the SIB investigates allegations raised by this broadcaster about the mosque’s links to controversial and extremist speakers.
The funding pause comes amid a GB News investigation that revealed that the mosque has a lengthy record of hosting controversial speeches that denigrate women, promote homophobia, and praise extreme punishments such as chopping off the hands of thieves.
The Green Lane Masjid featured in the 2007 documentary titled Undercover Mosque where preacher Abu Usamah was filmed saying “take that homosexual man and throw him from the mountain.”
The sheikh also said that women were intellectually “deficient” and that “it takes two witnesses of a woman to equal the one witness of the man.”
He still preaches at the taxpayer-funded Green Lane mosque….
Goofy says
According to the Qur’an he is absolutely correct!
An objective check will show that it is a very close race between men and women!
chelseaboy says
I think this was the kind gentleman who preached on how to stone a woman to death in the correct Islamic way.
Apparently it’s important that they are first buried up to their waist to “protect their modesty”
So kind!

You aren’t wrong–something *much worse* than saying that women are inferior:

Why should the mosque be taxpayer funded?
Churches are not, nor are synagogues.
Fitna says
Imagine the stupid infidels paying their enemies to conquer them.
And I agree, our money should never go towards religious institutions. There’s probably some scam at work behind the scenes. Muslims are very good at bilking non-Muslims of free money.
Keith O says
Michael & Fitna, your both right, taxpayers money should never go to any religious organisation/church.
Everything mudslimes do is one big scam, from the book they use to the lies that are fed to infidels.
My big question, how many homeless vets could have been helped with the 2.2 million?
Fitna says
Agreed Keith.
It’s been said 1% of a country’s GDP could wipe out homelessness and yet the politicians give that money to our enemies and useless causes.
Not to mention the bailouts for failed corporations.
Mad, mad world we live in.

There are smart women who come from the islamic world:the MURTADS,the ex-muslisms.
Imagine ,they figured out how bogus islam is and have surely seen the Scientific mistakes:
why should a woman wear a hijab when allah does not even understand Biology?
Exactly
No hijab on ex muslima=smart woman
tim gallagher says
Just to correct this moronically stupid Muslim spokesman i would say that all Muslims would have to be intellectually deficient since they seem to believe that very young grlrs should be married off and used for sex, that all non-believers in islam should be murdered because they don’t happen to believe in the barbaric shit Muslims believe in (as called for in the Koran) and parents should murder their children in honour killings if they step out of line and so on. How deficient would a human brain have to be to belong to this primitive, backward cult called islam. As for this Muslim fuckwit saying that women are intellectually deficient, well all civilised people in the UK should be outraged and this mosque should be closed down. Certainly the idea of taxpayers’ money funding it is beyond sickening.

This mosque also teaches stoning women. Clearly they’re speaking from their religion’s foundational teachings. When they take tax money to shape youth, it’s obvious what they plan to produce.

Yes, Hoi Polloi–this is the worst.
Hudders. says
Yet another example of the compromised UK councils, Government in general and various left wing pressure/influence groups panderng/capitulting to islamic wants & demands.
It should be no surprise to anyone on this site that, this is but a little snapshot of what is preached daily in these unholy hell centers, up and down the country.
The more these Christ hating, jihad minded, backwards, low iq medieval miscreants get what they demand, the more emboldened they become and the more they increase the psychological jihad.
No more mosques should be allowed to be built, nor opened anywhere in the UK.
All of these houses of hell should be investigated.
Wherever a mosque pops up trouble and wickedness is sure to follow.

There is a saying that when the revolution wants to hang the capitalists, they will sell it the ropes. The same principle here it seems.
Devasur says
British media and authorities are more worried about India surpassing them in space than this.
