Encouraging terrorism? A mosque trustee? Why, it’s unprecedented! Shocking! How did Abubaker Deghayes come to misunderstand Islam so spectacularly? And why do all the Muslims who misunderstand Islam all misunderstand it in the same way?
“Charity Commission probes Brighton Mosque after trustee’s terrorism conviction,” by Katie Boyden, Evening Standard, October 5, 2022 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
The Charity Commission has launched an investigation and appointed an interim manager to the Brighton Mosque and Muslim Community Centre.
The regulator opened the inquiry due to concerns resulting from a failure to resolve a dispute.
On September 28, an interim manager, Andrew Wilkinson of Shakespeare Martineau LLP, took charge of the management and operation of the charity to the exclusion of the parties in dispute. He will identify and appoint new trustees to the charity, among other duties.
There is an increased risk that appropriate actions will not be taken to protect the charity from further undue risk of harm
In May 2022, the mosque in East Sussex was issued with an official warning after a former trustee, Abubaker Deghayes, was convicted of encouraging terrorism.
On November 1 2020, Deghayes gave an unsolicited speech at the mosque, encouraging people to take part in violent jihad, following the death of two of his sons in Syria.
The speech was delivered after evening prayers when approximately 50 people were present, including at least one trustee, children and young adults.
The Charity Commission said the trustee who was present did not intervene or attempt to minimise the impact of the content of the speech.
On January 19 this year, Deghayes was convicted of encouraging terrorism under the Terrorism Act 2006….

My reaction was exactly the same as Robert Spencer expresses in his first comments. What!! Surely not. This can’t possibly true. Islam is peaceful, blah, blah. How could he “misunderstand” islam’s peaceful (yeah, right) nature. Basic islam has never been about anything but terroriasm, conquest by murderous violence and so on. When islam appears to be a bit peaceful, it usually means that the Muslims haven’t yet built up their numbers in a country to a point where they can bare their fangs and start to show how violent they basically are.

Thanks for the +1, gravenimage. No surprise at all in this report. But I can imagine the usual clowns, those who keep on telling us all that islam is basically peaceful, will be amazed at this mosque leader being involved in terrorism. Some people will never wake up to islam’s vile nature it seems.

Here’s another joke from the UK (arrived in my email)
‘How the 9/11 and 7/7 Terror Attacks Have Hurt UK Muslims (UWTSD, 2017)’
No kidding, someone’s actually written a paper with that title.
(By the way, 7/7 was where a group of 4 musilms blew up a bus and underground train in London; maybe the title refers to any muslims who happened to be on the bus and train at the time – they’d have been dancing in the streets about anyone else).
tim gallagher says
Thanks for that, Jayell1. Yes, don’t worry about all those victims of the Muslim terrorist scum that carried out the attacks. Merely be concerned for the poor, “victimised” Muslim community. Unbelievable. There are plenty of people with very twisted minds around the place, that’s for sure.

There is a kind of *rule* in crime investigation…that the perp will talk to someone about his crime. Basically, all criminals will *confess* or brag to someone they know whom they believe will keep quiet.
but, mozlums are not the *usual* criminals. they are taught that their “crimes” are not crimes at all, but are sanctioned by their mass-murdering raper of little children, who, if he actually existed, murdered, stole, raped, and did every other evil act he could dream up or which satan instructed him, while commanding his gang of criminals to do the same.
Since this creep and his fellow mozlum creeps believe they have a *right* to do as they do, they’ll talk openly about it with other mozlums, encouraging them to do the same and support with funds others who are engaging in the terrorism.

Good summary of islam’s evil nature, somehistory. The muslims’ prophet was a foul creature and, if a person wants to commit every type of crime imaginable and get around thinking that it is all just fine, then islam is criminal cult to join, that’s for sure.

UK: Charity Commission launches investigation of mosque after trustee convicted of encouraging terrorism
……………………………………..
Will this investigation be deemed “Islamophobic”?
Dave says
So predictable.
Raja says
Dave,
The West does not have any self-respect left if they are so scared of “islamophobia” charge and subterfuge. How many have the courage to say that your islam is the problem? Would anyone have the courage and conviction to say islam is straight out of hell?
Lately, the UK is slightly better off when are talking about adding other countries like they did for Ruanda’s scums. Corruption of the elites and unvetted immigrations has put UK and others in an ugly bind. They are reaping what they have been sowing for more than 2 decades.
