The National Association of Muslim Police (NAMP) is facing a fierce backlash after it was revealed that a policy paper it promoted contained what critics say are “anti-Semitic lies”, while also leading to allegations that the organization has been “infiltrated or controlled by Islamists”.
This latest embarrassment for British police officers comes as the government faces criticism for alleged two-tier policing, especially when it comes to anti-Israel and pro-British protests.
The organization’s paper, titled “From past prejudices to current policies: countering anti-Muslim hatred and promoting human rights,” was recently published by The Spectator.
In it, then-NAMP vice president Khaldoun Qabbani referred to Zionism as “a narrow, nationalist and colonialist viewpoint that promotes anti-Muslim hatred along with other forms of xenophobia, distancing itself from the inclusive and compassionate teachings of Judaism.”

In addition to calling the IDF a Zionist terrorist group, the newspaper speculates that “eventually” the IDF’s actions after October 7 “will be recognized as terrorism, although without any reference to the Jewish faith.” The report appears to have been removed from the web, although it continues to be hosted online via an archive at the Wayback Machine.
Andrew Fox, senior associate fellow at the Henry Jackson Society, told Fox News Digital that the paper is full of “anti-Semitic lies and blood libels.”

Qabbani’s paper calls for “debunking myths through education”, but he presents unsourced facts about Hamas’ October 7 attack.
In one section, Qabbani wrote that “As soon as hostilities began, reports in Israeli and Western media outlets began circulating alarming and unverified stories about acts of violence by Hamas, including claims of beheadings and assaults. These reports have significantly contributed to the growing hatred of Islam.”

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer vowed to step up security on Thursday after the latest attack against the Jewish community, while urging Britons to unite against anti-Semitism. Facing accusations from angry British Jews that his government has repeatedly failed to protect them, Starmer promised to immediately increase funding for synagogues and other sites, but insisted that British society must “come together” to “fight antisemitism.” (Carlos Jasso/AFP via Getty Images)
Dr. Chen Kugel, head of the National Center for Forensic Medicine in Israel, told Themedialine in November 2023 that many of the charred bodies of the October 7 victims, including children, were “headless.” He acknowledged that “it is difficult to ascertain whether he was beheaded before or after his death, as well as how he was beheaded.”
Qabbani also said that reports of 120 children being killed by Hamas “are challenged by recent revelations, which show that not a single Israeli infant was a casualty during the said attacks. It was later confirmed that only one child died two days after the attack, which involved IDF gunfire and lacked precise details.”

Contrary to its own report, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) stated that at least 29 deaths since 7 October, whose ages were provided as of 25 October, were children.
Stephen Silverman, director of investigations and enforcement for the Campaign against Antisemitism, said in a public statement that the NAMP papers were “evidence that a major national police union has been infiltrated by or controlled by Islamists.” Silverman called for those “responsible for publishing this extremist cult” to be “immediately investigated and dismissed by the professional standards departments of their respective forces”.

The National Police Chiefs’ Council did not respond to Fox News Digital’s questions about whether they were concerned by NAMP’s paper, whether it would take action in the context of it, and whether its statements were problematic for public trust.

Fox News Digital also did not receive any response from NAMP or the British government.
Noting “skyrocketing anti-Semitism” in the United Kingdom, Fox said NAMP’s policy paper is “grossly unfair”. He said that “While it is important that minority groups should interact with the police to consider their issues, a divisive internal organization such as a group for Muslim officers is clearly repugnant to public trust. This practice must be stopped immediately and no police force should be associated with this organization in future.”
