London flays distribution of hate material
The controversial State visit of King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia prompted fresh criticism on Tuesday over his regime's alleged role in distributing hate literature in British mosques. As King Abdullah was receiving a ceremonial welcome from the Queen, Prime Minister Gordon Brown was urged to challenge the monarch about the literature when he meets him on Wednesday.
The Government is already under pressure to raise concerns that the regime is involved in torture and other human rights abuses. Britain's Foreign Office was even forced to rebut the Saudi King's claims that the Saudi authorities had provided information, which could have averted the July 7 attacks.
A senior British official quoted in the media insisted the Saudi tip-offs had been too vague to be 'actionable', and suggested that the Saudi monarch had merely been acting defensively. The UK's leading centre-right thinktank Policy Exchange has published a report after a lengthy investigation, which found extremist literature in a quarter of the 100 mosques and Islamic institutions it visited, including London Central Mosque, which is funded by Saudi Arabia.
<b>The authoritative new report entitled 'The Hijacking of British Islam: How extremist literature is subverting Britain's mosques', concluded- "Saudi Arabia is the ideological source of much of this sectarianism - and must be held to account for it."
The report called for a radical overhaul of Britain's relationship with Saudi Arabia, which it argued has a "powerful and malign" influence over British Islam and sponsored the export of fundamentalist Islamic doctrine. The Policy Exchange director Anthony Browne said it was 'clearly intolerable', that hate literature was being 'peddled' at British mosques. He said, "The fact that the Saudi regime is producing extremist propaganda and targeting it at British Muslims must also be challenged by our own Government".</b>
Researchers from the thinktank spent more than a year visiting Muslim religious institutions across the country, and found extremist material was available, openly or 'under the table', in around 25. They found controversial works during visits to mosques in Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Oxford and High Wycombe.
<b>Some of the literature advocated violent jihad, murdering gay people and stoning adulterers. According to the investigation, most of the material is produced by agencies closely linked to the Saudi regime. The documents include a call for 'jihad against tyrants and oppressors', which was 'best done through force if possible'. Some of the publications called on British Muslims to segregate themselves from non-Muslims, and condoned the beheadings.</b>
