A mosque manager questioned by the police over his apparent support for the Taliban has posted videos in which Israel is compared to Nazi Germany and the pro-Israel lobby group Aipac is described as having vast power over American politicians, the JC can reveal.

Saddique Hussain, the general manager of Birmingham’s Central Jamia Mosque Ghamkol Sharif mosque, triggered outrage when he shared a clip of Taliban fighters brandishing assault rifles and reciting the Quran and wrote above it: “How beautiful and civilised and no ‘I’. May Allah SWT guide us on to His beautiful religion.”

After a police warning, Mr Hussain insisted he “does not and never has supported the Taliban” but a string of controversial posts has now come to light.

Earlier this year he shared a video from the far-right American media outlet ‘TruNews’ in which pastor and antisemitic pundit Rick Wiles, who has previously claimed that Jews are “decievers” who “plot” and “lie”, explicitly compared the actions of Israel to Nazi Germany.

Another video labelled “a rare moment of truth” by the general manager claimed that “Zionist lobbying” could remove an online clip of Sky news reporting on Israeli military actions.

A further post claimed that Israeli soldiers kill Palestinian children “for fun”, while another video carried text that said: “I am Israel – I have the power to control American policy. My American Israel Public Affairs committee can make or break any politician of its choosing.”

One post was deemed unacceptable by Facebook, which added a ‘false information’ warning label to a clip supposedly depicting the oppression of a Palestinian child by Israeli soldiers. The video in fact originated from Sweden and shows Swedish security guards.

Mr Hussain was condemned last night by campaign group Muslims Against Antisemitism, who slammed “the frothing and foaming nature of the antipathy that some hold”.

They said: “Promoting views and associations between ‘media control’ and depicting ‘Zionists’ as having ‘control’ shows the conspiratorial mindset of the person in question.

“Focussing on Israel and blaming Israel for actions that it is not even associated with, shows the frothing and foaming nature of the antipathy that some hold.”

Other members of the Central Jamia Mosque Ghamkol Sharif mosque have also shared their provocative anti-Israel views.

Mosque trustee Asif Quayum shared a cartoon previously condemned by Scottish politicians for antisemitism that depicts Israel as a dog.

Zahir Abbas, another trustee, declared that Israel was committing “genocide” as he attacked the United Arab Emirates for normalising relations with the country.

“Think twice before you book Dubai as your next holiday,” he said on Facebook, as, “you will be supporting the genocide in Palestine!”
