In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful
The Ahlulbayt Islamic Mission (AIM) firmly rejects the defamatory and politicised claims made by certain media outlets, based on allegations from UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI). These accusations, framed in inflammatory language around “radicalisation” and “extremism,” are part of a targeted smear campaign against a lawful British Muslim organisation engaged in religious education, youth work, and community development.
AIM has always operated in full compliance with UK law. Our programmes are transparent, fully compliant with relevant regulations, and centred on safety, values, and faith. Camp Wilayah, now in its second decade, is a safe, well-supervised summer retreat for children.
The claim that Camp Wilayah is an activity for indoctrination is a deliberate and harmful accusation, aimed at sowing fear and suspicion of Muslims who maintain a strong commitment to faith and identity. It is Islamophobic in tone and discriminatory in impact.
UK Lawyers for Israel, who are spearheading these allegations, are a front group operating on behalf of the illegitimate and genocidal Zionist entity. That such a group is now being platformed in the British press to comment on the safeguarding of Muslim children is as offensive as it is absurd, and a sign of decaying sovereignty in the UK.
There is a clear distinction between genuine efforts to safeguard children and politically motivated attacks which, by drawing unwanted attention to these children activities, risks exposing them to harm from far-right and radical Zionist elements, many of whom openly support the ongoing massacre of children in occupied Palestine. We will continue to serve our communities with values of dignity, justice, compassion, and service. We reject racism in all forms and will firmly resist any attempt to silence our voice. We will not accept defamation, intimidation, or the outsourcing of UK civil society policy to proxies of a foreign regime perpetrating genocide against the indigenous people of Palestine. Above all, we will protect our community and our children from this manufactured environment of hate.
