More than a dozen angry Arab protesters gathered outside Regents Park Mosque calling for the removal of the Saudi-backed board and justice for the Sheikh who was assaulted earlier this month.
The group also alleged that a member of the Mosques, which we will refer to only as Ali, failed to act accordingly because of previous allegations made by the Egyptian Sheikh that ‘certain elements within the mosque are hauling money out of the gold pot’, a protester said.
Ali, feeling rather brave in front protestors, walked up to Mohammed, the ring leader, and demanded that he leaves the Mosque’s grounds.
The two tussled before police intervention.
The protesters claim that the man who viciously attacked the faith leader was refused entry to the mosque on numerous occasions, despite showing good intentions previously.
Furthermore, the Mosque has been turning away many people curious to learn more about Islam.
“If it was Saudi Sheikh, This would not have happened, the man would not have got close to him, and if he did then they would have kicked a fuss about it.” said another protester.
“Right now Saudis are trying to take over everything; there is an ideological struggle between their school of thought and the Egyptian one.
“They bring Imams over who don’t speak English and don’t share our experiences.
“Just look at the interior of the mosque! The toilets are not in running order and the dome is deteriorating and could collapse on worshipers anytime.
The Mosque needs renovation, but they are taking these funds and putting the cash in their pockets.”
Mohammed said: “Our sheikh Mohammed, who’s lying in the hospital bed right now, only last week accused the mosque board of taking money out of the Mosques funds. He has always said there was corruption from within, and we need to fix that before the Ummah. He is now in hospital with no compensation. The poor Arab Imams come here to earn a living and are treated like rubbish by the Saudis."
Another protestor said that AlI is demanding £60,000 to relinquish his grip on his apartment, located inside the grounds of the Mosque and his position at the mosque, which he has had for 30 years.
Surprisingly today’s sermon, by the Saudi Sheikh was about magic and how Muslims shouldn’t do it and on how recent media reports drive people to attack Muslims.
I can see how much of a pressing issue Black Magic is right now with an uprising at your front door.
And no! The reason for the Sheikh attack was not because of media portrayals of Islam, it’s because of Wahabi/Salafi warped teachings of Islam that encourages men to kill women and children by committing hari kiri with thousands of nails in explosive.
This is just one example that could be seen over the UK of Muslims who want a change to occur and that they are the majority, facing a minority backed by Saudi.
