A charity has been formally warned and one of its trustees disqualified after an “inflammatory” sermon in the days after the 7 October Hamas attacks on Israel.
Language in the Nottingham Islam Information Point sermon, on 13 October 2023, included “the hour will not begin until the Muslims fight the Jews and the Muslims will kill them until a Jew hides behind a rock or a tree”, the Charity Commission said.
It is one of more than 300 charity cases related to the conflict.
Nottingham Islam Information Point has been contacted for a response.
The 2023 attacks by Hamas saw about 1,200 people killed and 251 taken hostage and the Israeli military launched a campaign in Gaza in response, in which at least 57,268 people have been killed since, according to the territory’s Hamas-run health ministry.
Nottingham Islam Information Point, based in Radford, Nottingham, aims to provide support to victims of Islamophobic attacks and address misconceptions about the religion.
