A number of officials at the Central Jamia Mosque Ghamkol Sharif in Small Health, Birmingham, who have collected large amount of donation for Rohingyas instead of sending it to Bangladesh had secretly shifted a part of it to the leader of a militancy outfit named ‘Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army’ (ARSA), while major portion of the collected donation amount went to Palestinian mega-terror outfit Hamas.
According information, back in October 2017, several officials of the Central Jamia Mosque Ghamkol Sharif including Ahsan ul Haq, Faisal, Yasser and Khizar had collected £130,954 and announced stating: “Weʼve raised £130,954 to Help the Rohingya refugees trapped in no mans land at the border of Bangladesh supplies will sourced from Bangladesh and then distributed”.
It further said, “Ghamkol Sharif is honoured to be sending a convoy to no-mans land between Burma and Bangladesh to serve the refugees there”.
There is no further information on the amount donation the officials of Ghamkol Sharif had collected for Rohingyas’, while it is anticipated that during the past five years, they have collected thousands of dollars from various individuals, while even a fraction of the amount did not reach the Rohingyas. Instead, such donations were diverted to at least two militancy outfits.
It may be mentioned here that, Central Jamia Mosque Ghamkol Sharif has been under the spotlight of investigators for its role in spreading religious-hatred, antisemitism and jihadist appeasement. This mosque is mainly led by Pakistanis living in Birmingham.
Birmingham Live in a report said, whistleblowers had spoken out about other concerns for the charity, which uses the official name Dar ul Uloom Islamia Rizwia (Bralawai). Concerns under investigation included a social media post by mosque manager Saddique Hussain that appeared to praise the Afghan Taliban jihadists.
Dar ul Uloom Islamia Rizwia (Bralawai) was set up to provide a place of worship, religious education and community services for the benefit of the local community of Small Heath. The charity runs the mosque, community services and educational center from its base in Golden Hillock Road.
Back in 2021, Pakistani-British Saddique Hussain, manager of Birmingham’s Central Jamia Mosque Ghamkol Sharif mosque triggered public outrage when he shared a video clip of Afghan Taliban jihadists brandishing assault rifles and reciting the Quran and wrote above it: “How beautiful and civilized and no ‘I’. May Allah SWT guide us on to His beautiful religion”.
During early 2021, Saddique Hussain 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 “deceivers” who “plot” and “lie”, explicitly compared the actions of Israel to Nazi Germany.
Another video labelled “a rare moment of truth” by Saddique Hussain 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.
Saddique Hussain was condemned by campaign group Muslims Against Antisemitism, who slammed “the frothing and foaming nature of the antipathy that some hold”, stating “Focusing 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”.
They said: “Promoting views and associations between ‘media control’ and depicting ‘Zionists’ as having ‘control’ shows the conspiratorial mindset of the person in question.
According to media reports, other members of the Central Jamia Mosque Ghamkol Sharif mosque, majority of whom are Pakistani-born UK citizen 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 normalizing relations with the country.
Criticizing normalization of relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Zahir Abbas wrote: “Think twice before you book Dubai as your next holiday”, he said on Facebook, as, “you will be supporting the genocide in Palestine!”
Almost all of the Pakistani-British trustees of the Central Jamia Mosque Ghamkol Sharif are diehard supporters of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hamas, Hezbollah and militancy groups in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, while they openly support Pakistani spy agency ISI-sponsored terrorist activities inside India – especially Jammu and Kashmir. They also voice against Bangladesh and pass indecent remarks about Bengalis. In brief, the Central Jamia Mosque Ghamkol Sharif in Small Health has become a jihad factory.
