Hard-line female Islamists are attempting to radicalize Muslim women through hate preaching at a one of Britain's most influential mosques in London, a ‘Channel Four’ TV program has revealed. The ‘Dispatches’ program found that some preachers at the Regents Park Mosque in central London taught a Saudi interpretation of Sharia law that advocates the stoning of homosexuals and the murder of apostates. In the feature program, an undercover reporter spent two months attending sessions at the center, which promised to crack down on extremism following an earlier investigation in early 2007.
A female reporter secretly recorded lectures at the women's section of the London Central Mosque and Islamic Cultural Center (ICC). At one such session, a teacher named Um Amira is shown instructing the group: "He is Muslim, and he gets out of Islam, he doesn't want any more. What are we going to do? We kill him, kill, kill." The same fate should befall an adulterer, the audience is told. She then goes on to say that the punishment for homosexuals is death. "Kill them, throw them from the highest place. We are not going to be like animals, living like animals, or to be like the homosexuals. God save us from that."
In a statement to ‘Channel Four’, the ICC’s director-general Ahmed Al Dubayan said: "The ICC is committed to inter-faith and cross-cultural understanding. It does not support or condone extreme views, racial hatred, violence or intolerance."
