One of London's most established mosques is selling DVDs predicting the mass-killing of the entire worldwide Jewish community, according to a British television documentary. The news service "European Jewish Press" says in a report that London's Central Mosque is being exposed as selling DVDs containing the speeches by two radical preachers, Sheikh Feiz and Sheikh Khalid Yasin, who predict the mass-extermination of the Jews on a "day of judgment," dismiss equal rights for women as "foolishness," and accuse the Christian faith of deliberately spreading the AIDS virus around Africa. "Dispatches", an investigative series on UK's "Channel Four", reportedly also reveals further details of the so-called "hate preacher DVDs", which journalists discovered were being sold at the London Central Mosque shop.
The program says its revelations come after a 12-month investigation into hate-preaching and extremism in Britain's Muslim religious institutions. In one of the DVDs sold in the mosque shop, the documentary will show Sheikh Feiz imitating the noise of a pig when referring to Jewish people, who he says would be killed on the "day of judgment". Other DVD footage shows Sheikh Yasin saying: "The whole delusion of equality of women is foolishness... there is no such thing", adding that "Missionaries from the World Health Organization and Christian groups went into Africa and inoculated people for diphtheria, malaria, yellow fever and they put in the medicine the AIDS virus, which is a conspiracy." The film could spark further controversy about the radicalization of parts of Britain's Muslim community.
