Hate and separatist literature is available in one quarter of Britain’s mosques and Islamic centers.
A new study released by the center-right think-tank, Policy Exchange, also found that the hate and separatist propaganda included literature calling Jews and Christians the enemies of Islam.
Researchers also found propaganda urging British Muslims to segregate themselves from non-Muslims since “unbelievers” are regarded as second class, in addition to literature calling for homosexuals to be murdered and women to be subjugated. Some literature also called for jihad against “tyrants and oppressors,” which is “best done through force if possible.”
“Saudi Arabia is the ideological source of much of this sectarianism,” the study concluded.
The British government and royal family last week hosted a controversial state visit from the Saudi royal family.
