Undercover Mosque is a documentary by Hardcashproductions for Channel 4 about Islamist hate preachers in British mosques .

content

Undercover Mosque has been the subject of controversy in the UK because the film documents how individual British imams said the following, among other things:

  • Ijaz Mian said on the subject of non-Muslim laws: "You cannot accept the rule of the kafir ... we have to rule over ourselves and over others."
  • Abu Usamah on apostates : “If the Imam wants to crucify him, he should crucify him. The person is nailed to the wood and left there to bleed to death for three days. "
  • On the lack of intelligence of women: “Allah created women to be defective, even if they have a doctorate. Your intellect is incomplete, imperfect. She might be suffering from hormones that make her emotional. It takes two female witnesses to get as good a testimony as a male witness. "
  • He praises the murder of a British soldier in Afghanistan , in which he says: "The hero of Islam is the one who parted his head from his shoulders."
  • Bilal Philips on girls who are married before puberty: “The Prophet Mohammed made rules for getting married before puberty. By example, he showed what is allowed, and therefore it should not be an issue for an older man to marry a younger woman. This is what society looks down on today, but we know that the Prophet Muhammad practiced it. It wasn't abuse or exploitation, it was marriage. "
  • Dr. Mian: "You have to live in a situation like a state within a state until you take it over."

Examined mosques and Islamic centers

Reactions

The British Conservative Party and the Labor Party demanded an official investigation of the mosques.

Muslim groups such as the Islamic Human Rights Commission condemned the documentation. The group said the film "is another example of anti-Muslim behavior" and "exemplifies the problems of Islamophobia and racism that exist in the mass media."

The Muslim Council of Britain criticized the documentary as "very hyped" and its chairman, Muhammad Abdul Bari , said: "Dishonest tactics are used by selectively quoting recorded speeches for the purpose of misinterpretation."

Investigation by the police and the CPS

The police started investigations into whether criminal acts were committed by preachers in mosques and Muslim institutions. They presented their test results to the Crown Prosecution Service . According to the CPS, the evidence showed that "a realistic chance of conviction is unlikely."

BBC broadcasts

The show Panorama of the BBC , which was broadcast on August 21, 2005, had previously documented similar topics and speeches in the mosques. The "Muslim Council of Britain" condemned the program as "very unfair". The BBC rejected allegations of institutional or programming bias.

Undercover Mosque: The Return

On September 1, 2008, Channel 8 aired Undercover Mosque: The Return, a sequel to the documentary, in which the London Central Mosque , London's King Fahad Academy and the British branch of the Islamic World League were Wahhabi institutions controlled directly or indirectly by the Saudi establishment To be criticized.

In addition, US convert Khalid Yasin, who lives in Manchester, is quoted with sentences in which he advocates cutting off hands and feet, as well as "rolling heads" as a deterrent. Yasin responded with an angry insulting email in which he described the documentation as "inaccurate" and unethical "cheap sensational journalism".
