19:08Now PlayingIn a troubling development, four UK Islamic charities are under investigation for hosting Ibtisam Elahi Zaheer, a Pakistani extremist preacher known for his inflammatory views. Zaheer's controversial statements include claiming that Ahmadi Muslims "don't have the right to live on Earth" and advocating for the sexual enslavement of female prisoners of war, stating that Islam "designed a solution" where they are "distributed to the soldiers in an organized manner" or "sold as slaves." The National Secular Society reported these charities to the Charity Commission, questioning their tax-exempt status. Megan Manson of the NSS emphasized, "It's galling to see tax breaks handed to mosques that host fundamentalists with divisive agendas when this clearly serves no public benefit." Zaheer's unapologetic stance is evident in his statement, "Let them consider me as an extremist or a terrorist." This incident highlights the ongoing debate about religious charities in the UK and the potential misuse of charitable status to promote extremist ideologies, raising critical questions about the balance between religious freedom and public safety.
