(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - A CITY mosque is threatening to sue the Prime Minister for libel after he suggested worshippers believed 9/11 was the result of a Jewish conspiracy.
Mohammad Naseem, chairman of Birmingham Central Mosque, said lawyers had been instructed to take legal action against David Cameron.
It comes after the Prime Minister used the mosque, which serves up to 20,000 people on holy days, as an example of extremism.
Mr Cameron’s comments have prompted a furious reaction from the mosque itself.
Dr Naseem said: “I have just instructed the mosque’s solicitors to take appropriate action.
“We will be taking advice about libel action.”
Further statements would be issued by the mosque’s solicitors, he said.
This is not the first time Mr Cameron has highlighted what he claims are extremist attitudes among parts of Birmingham’s Muslim community.
In 2007, he said he had come across conspiracy theories when he stayed overnight with a family in Balsall Heath.
Birmingham Central Mosque was the second purpose-build mosque in the UK when it was built in 1969.
