A Nottingham imam made statements that are 'sympathetic to the Taliban' and alleged that the government 'does not want Muslims to be Muslims', a new report has revealed. Dr Musharraf Hussain, the chief executive of Karimia Institute in Bobbers Mill, has been named in a review which looked at the threat of terrorism in the UK.
Organisations and individuals blamed for promoting alleged extremist narratives while taking money from Prevent have been named in William Shawcross' independent review, which was published on Wednesday, February 8. A statement made by Dr Hussain, which the reports says was 'sympathetic to the Taliban', has been described as "one of the most egregious cases".
The Nottingham Muslim leader founded the Karimia Institute with the help of local community in 1990. His charity delivered Prevent-funded projects only between 2008 and 2010, according to its website.
