U.K. Radio Shuttered for Broadcasting Muslim Cleric’s Radical Rants During Ramadan

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


A community radio station in the United Kingdom saw its license to operate yanked after it played a series of radical rantings from cleric Anwar al-Awlaki on the air during Ramadan.

Radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki

The station had been in operation since 2014.

But Ofcom revoked its license this week.

From the Express:

A COMMUNITY radio station has had its licence revoked after broadcasting 25 hours of lectures by an alleged senior al Qaeda figure.

Iman FM, based in Sheffield, put a series of readings by radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki on the air during Ramadan. …

It claimed that it was not aware of the background of al-Awlaki, who was killed in a US drone strike in Yemen in 2011.

The regulator said Iman FM was “unfit” to hold a licence after displaying “extremely reckless” conduct.

Ofcom said the station had broadcast “material likely to encourage or incite the commission of crime or to lead to disorder”.

It said the lectures included “a direct call to action to members of the Muslim community to prepare for and carry out violent action against non-Muslim people”, and “statements clearly condoning and encouraging acts of crime, terrorism or violent behaviour”.

The service has been off-air since its licence was suspended and will not be reinstated, Ofcom added.
