A friend recently sent me a link to a wonderful and detailed article by Nick Monroe on the subject of Fiyaz Mughal. This incredibly well-researched and well written but dense article comes with a copious physical and digital paper-trail of screenshots, documents, links, witness testimony and published articles. Mr Monroe’s article builds up a very full picture indeed of Mr Mughal and his organisations which include Faith Matters and the Tell Mama organisation. His article should also prompt us to ask again whether Fiyaz Mughal has far too much influence over Britain’s public life?
The article delves into Mr Mughal’s background, his contacts with politicians, along with his funding and the partnerships that exist between Fiyaz Mughal and his organisations with the Government, police and the justice system. This article looks into the allegations of undue influence that have swirled around Fiyaz Mughal and his organisations for a number of years and Mr Monroe’s article makes for worrying reading when it comes to these allegations. It’s worth noting that this article was obviously written by a couple of months and is not a quick read, but it is a very worthwhile one. If I was you I’d settle down with a cup or glass of whatever is your choice and plenty of time to examine this very detailed but troubling account of the activities of Mr Fiyaz Mughal and his various organisational entities.
Interestingly, Mr Monroe tries to examine where Mr Mughal is coming from and, very fairly to Mughal in my view, described some of Mr Mughal’s motivation as being due to a ‘utopian’ idea of ‘political correctness’. That would fit with what I have observed in the calls for censorship by Mr Mughal’s organisations. These censorship calls by groups like Tell Mama are often made on the grounds of protecting ‘community cohesion’. These are calls for censorship to protect a utopian ideal, a concept that I can conceive of in my mind, but which like all utopia is doomed to failure.
I must admit that I was absolutely blown away by Mr Monroe’s article. It is a piece based on an incredible amount of diligent research and evidence gathering. The article contains a vast amount of background data on Mr Mughal and his various organisations and much of this information will in my opinion, leave many who read Mr Monroe’s piece, deeply troubled. They will be no doubt, as I was, be troubled and justly angered by the article’s information relating to the extensive and influential contacts that Fiyaz Mughal has, and which maybe he should not have, in government, policing and administrative circles.
There are detailed examinations in Mr Monroe’s piece of a number of separate issues and incidents regarding Mr Mughal such as his involvement, possibly via the offices of the Crown Prosecution Service, in the Tim Burton ‘taqiyya’ trials. The first trial 2014 resulted in Mr Burton being acquitted of ‘hate speech’ charges, but a similar case brought by Fiyaz Mughal against Mr Burton in 2017 saw Mr Burton convicted in a bit of a travesty of a trial of ‘racially aggravated harassment’ against Fiyaz Mughal. This conviction was over nothing more than a joke job application and a couple of equally jokey emails yet it resulted in Mr Burton being gaoled for twelve seeks of which he served six. The influence on and connections with the Crown Prosecution Service, that Mr Monroe says that Fiyaz Mughal has, should really worry anyone who is concerned about having a justice system that is both fair and not under the influence of Islamic grievance mongers.
On a personal note I would just like to say how pleased I was to see Mr Monroe point out the situation regarding Fiyaz Mughal and his cultivation of the British Jewish establishment. I have watched for some time and with growing concern about how Mr Mughal and his organisations ingratiate themselves with groups like the Community Security Trust, the Jewish representative body the Board of Deputies, along with those Jewish movements where the leadership (if maybe not the worshippers) lean somewhat to the Left politically. This cleaving by Jewish communal organisations and certain individuals to Fiyaz Mughal and his organisations will not in my opinion be good for Britain’s Jews and certainly not for the organisations that have gone down the path of cooperating with Fiyaz Mughal.
It is increasingly looking likely to be the case, especially in the light of this article by Mr Monroe, that Fiyaz Mughal will come under more public scrutiny. If that happens, then it will make Jewish communal organisations look bad for associating with him and his various entities. Furthermore, the sight of learned Rabbonim such as Rabbi Jonathan Wittenberg being featured so prominently by Tell Mama in various articles promoting Tell Mama’s view of the world, disturbs me and in my opinion makes him look little more than Fiyaz Mughal’s ‘court Jew’. This is not, in my opinion a good position for a Rabbi to be in. If Fiyaz Mughal falls from political grace for some reason there will be a lot of awkward questions asked of Britain’s Jewish communal organisations and leaders, about the soundness of their judgement, both by Britain’s Jews themselves and by others in the wider population. It will do the image of Britain’s Jewry no good at all if it is shown for example that they have forged links with organisation which Fiyaz Mughal is involved with that are hostile to freedom of speech. That this situation may be exposed to wider view just as the issue of freedom of speech, or increasing lack of it, is becoming a matter of public concern, may tarnish the image of Britain’s Jewish communities on this issue. This is a scenario that I do not wish to see turned into reality. The Bible says that we should not put our trust in princes and it will bode ill for all of us if it turns out that groups like the CST have not just put trust in someone who is presented as some sort of prince, but instead have trusted individuals and groups that may turn out on closer inspection to be exceedingly knavish.
Readers will also be concerned and angry at the huge amounts of public money that has been shoved into organisations or projects controlled or founded by Fiyaz Mughal. Millions of pounds that could have gone to more worthwhile expenditure, has been wasted over the last decade on everything from Tell Mama itself, to other Fiyaz Mughal ventures, such as a ‘caring for Islamic converts’ project.
Mr Monroe’s article is what I can truthfully describe as an essential thing to read if you want a well researched and detailed examination of a man who, in the opinion of many of us, should not have any influence over any aspect of public life. This article is as comprehensive a document that you would wish to find on the subject of Fiyaz Mughal. It not only examines Fiyaz Mughal and his organisations, but also investigates the background and activities of many of Mr Mughal’s contacts, friends, supporters and patrons that I find I dare not quote from it, for fear that I could not properly represent it with a mere quote. All I find I can really do is praise this article and the author who wrote it. Read this article by Nick Monroe and decide for yourself whether Fiyaz Mughal or his various organisations are of a suitable character to have the influence that they clearly appear to have over government and by extension, our lives.
Mr Monroe’s piece is a truth-seeking missile fairly and accurately aimed at a very target-rich environment of Fiyaz Mughal, Tell Mama, their associates and their activities. I hope it propels people into taking an interest in the undue influence that certain pernicious Islamic groups seem to be having on the process of government and administration and, if necessary, to peacefully protest against this influence.
We deserve to be governed fairly and that to my mind is a reasonable expectation for an advanced civilised society. Giving undue and unearned influence to individuals like Fiyaz Mughal or groups like Tell Mama or Faith Matters, on the areas of policing and criminal justice for example, undermines that reasonable expectation of fair dealing from entities such as the police and the courts.
Please read the article linked below, it is a real eye-opener. I really can’t praise it enough.
