The Charity Commission has opened a statutory inquiry into the Abdullah Quilliam Society, based in Liverpool, after the charity posted a video on social media.
In a statement, the Commission says the video’s contents “may not have furthered the charity’s objects and could potentially be considered political, divisive and inflammatory.
The video suggested that named senior members of the Westminster Government were acting improperly and had received donations from the ‘Israeli lobby’ and that the Commission was also being unduly influenced to ‘silence’ trustees.
The video appeared to be drawn from a sermon delivered at the charity’s premises on 27 June 2025 and has since been removed from the charity’s social media platforms”.
The Commission says it had already issued the charity with an official warning over the content of sermons and speeches and the inquiry will evaluate the charity’s general administration, management, and governance by its trustees.
