Refugee at Centre of Pro-Palestinian Protest Sparks Uproar Over Two-Tier Policing and Extremism

 

A pro-Palestinian activist at the centre of a growing political and legal storm has been unmasked as a radical Islamist who was granted asylum in Britain. Mohammad al-Mail, a 27-year-old Kuwaiti national, avoided terror charges after making inflammatory remarks at a protest in London, including expressing admiration for the October 7 Hamas massacre and declaring, “I like an organisation that starts with H.” Despite his arrest on suspicion of terrorism offences, al-Mail was never prosecuted, raising serious concerns about inconsistent policing and the ability of UK authorities to identify threats.

The incident occurred during an anti-Israel rally in Swiss Cottage, northwest London, in September 2023. Footage published by The Telegraph shows al-Mail leading chants glorifying Hamas while using a megaphone. He was arrested but ultimately released after convincing investigators that the "H" in his chant referred not to Hamas, but to the Home Office. “Immediately, I answered, ‘It could be the Home Office,’ you know, the ministry of the interior,” he later said in a March Arabic-language podcast. Laughing, he added: “Truly, as the saying goes, ‘The worst calamity is the one that makes you laugh.’” Al-Mail said the case “fell apart” after his explanation and mocked counter-terrorism officers for trying to discern his true beliefs.

 

In contrast, on the same day, a Jewish man attending a counter-protest was charged after holding a placard that mocked Hezbollah’s leader, despite the Crown Prosecution Service later finding insufficient evidence to proceed. The disparity has sparked allegations of two-tier policing, especially given al-Mail's broader history of promoting Islamist ideology since receiving asylum in 2017.

 

 

His campaign group, the Upper Hand Organisation, actively disseminates extremist material online and at rallies. Al-Mail has urged followers to seize “opportunities” created by the October 7 Hamas attacks, describing the assault — the deadliest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust — as a moment to exploit. “Not every day is like October 7,” he said. “If an opportunity arises, we must fully exploit it. If you strike, make it hurt.” His website promotes jihadist manifestos and denounces terror groups like Al-Qaeda and the Taliban for being too accommodating to international systems.

 

A pamphlet released by his group in August 2024, titled Wake Up! Protect the Honour of Islam, frames the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a religious war, glorifies jihad, and uses slogans known to incite violence against Jews. It claims the organisation is “committed to channelling resources toward strategic projects to achieve Islamic dominance.” In another appearance, al-Mail labelled peaceful Muslims “slaves and dwarves” and warned Britain: “What is coming to you is terrifying – either our annihilation or yours.”

 

He has also pushed to de-proscribe Hamas and lobbied for taxpayer funding of sharia courts. In recent statements, he opposed banning child marriage, arguing it would discriminate against Muslim girls aged 16 and 17.

 

According to the Metropolitan Police, they were unaware of al-Mail’s podcast admissions and public record of extremism until contacted by The Telegraph. A spokesman said the material “did not form part of the case put to the CPS” but added that officers “will carefully review it to identify any offences so the appropriate action can be taken.”

 

The revelations have prompted outrage from politicians and extremism experts. Chris Philp, the shadow policing minister, called for an immediate re-investigation and potential re-arrest. “I am deeply worried that someone came here, was granted asylum and then abused the UK’s generosity by expressing extremist views,” he said. “This is why our human rights and asylum laws need to be changed.”

 

Lord Walney, the Government’s former extremism tsar, said the case “raises serious questions for the Metropolitan Police.” He described the force’s initial failure to uncover widely available evidence as “an alarming lack of rigour” and stressed the need to reopen the case to protect national security.

No surprise there.

All part of sad, Broken Britain.

You have to be white or Jewish to encounter problems for this type of thing in modern Britain.

 

Ricky Jones publicly called for opponents throats to be slit and still walks around a free man while Lee Dunn was jailed within a week simply for asking what happens when immigrants arrive in his town.

The double standard is clear for all to see. They even tried to make the 2 tier system official in the pre sentencing guidelines but were forced to postpone for now.
