FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The government’s non-ministerial department Charity Commission has launched an investigation into the accusations targeted at Leyton’s Masjid-al-Tawhid, which overlooks the Olympic Park, over allegations that the mosque has been taken over by extremists.
“We cannot comment further on the case until our investigation is complete,” a commission spokesperson said.
The accusations are the latest example of the wave of Islamophobia which the British government has apparently unleashed on Muslims ahead of the 2012 Olympic Games.
The games are scheduled for July 27 to August 12 that falls exactly within the Muslims holy month of fasting, Ramadan, that begins on July 20 this year.
There have been criticisms that London Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games (LOCOG), which made diversity and inclusion a cornerstone of its bid to host the Games, should have used its influence as the host to push the International Olympics Committee (IOC) for a schedule more suitable to an estimated 3,000 Muslim athletes expected to compete in the Games.
The LOCOG has rather announced they are providing Halal food and special prayer facilities for Muslims in the Olympic Athletes village in Stratford.
Observers say the policy, London is pursuing ahead of the Olympics, goes directly against the IOC credo of “sport for all” when considering the limitations Muslim athletes face and the accusations heaped upon the Muslim community before the Games.
The wave of Islamophobia and pressure on Muslims comes as a Financial Times opinion poll found Britain is the most suspicious nation about Muslims while a separate study by London Evening Standard shows a major portion of Londoners see Muslims in a negative light.
Against such a backdrop, however, British Muslims are rolling up sleeves to offer an alternative view of the “sport for all” slogan with the concerted Iftar 2012 program in London.
Based on Iftar 2012 planning, Muslim officials and organizations welcome both athletes and visitors in the mosques, which will serve Iftars (evening meals) to anyone who wants to break his Ramadan fast.
“There’s a a load of Muslims in this country who are all there and let’s use it as a chance to open our doors and build community links and start to show each other what we are really about,” British Muslim hockey star Darren Cheesman said at the Iftar 2012 launching event.
