Bungling civil servants had to urgently freeze a £2 million grant they gave to an infamous mosque that has a decades-long history of alleged extremism and hate speech, The Mail on Sunday has been told.
The Green Lane Mosque in Birmingham was awarded the money to build a youth centre, despite its imams being filmed giving sermons on how to stone a woman ‘correctly’ for adultery and delivering speeches that appear to incite murder of homosexuals.
The mosque was once featured in a Channel 4 documentary where one firebrand imam was filmed preaching violent jihad against ‘the kuffar’, a derogatory term for unbelievers.
