The National Association of Muslim Police (NAMP) is facing intense backlash after it was revealed that a policy paper it promoted contained what critics say are “antisemitic lies,” while also facing accusations that the organization is “infiltrated or controlled by Islamists.”
This latest embarrassment for British police authorities comes as the government continues to face criticism for alleged two-tier policing, especially when it comes to anti-Israel and pro-British protests.
The paper from the organization, titled “From Past Prejudices to Present Policies: Confronting Anti-Muslim Hatred and Promoting Human Rights,” was recently unearthed by The Spectator.
In it, then-NAMP Vice President Khaldoun Kabbani refers to Zionism as “a narrow, nationalist, and colonialist viewpoint that fosters anti-Muslim hatred, among 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 paper surmises that “eventually” the IDF’s actions following Oct. 7 “will be recognized as terrorism, though likely without any reference to the Jewish faith.” The report appeared to be deleted from the web, though it continues to be hosted online through an archive at the Wayback Machine.
Andrew Fox, senior associate fellow at the Henry Jackson Society, told Fox News Digital that the paper is filled with “antisemitic lies and blood libels.”
Kabbani’s paper calls for “dismantling myths through education,” but he presents unsourced facts about Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack.
In one segment, Kabbani notes that “as the hostilities commenced, 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 increasing hatred towards Islam.”

Dr. Chen Kugel, head of the National Center for Forensic Medicine in Israel, told the themedialine in Nov 2023 that many of the burned bodies of Oct. 7 victims, including those of babies, are “without heads.” He admitted it was “difficult to ascertain whether they were decapitated before or after death, as well as how they were beheaded.”
Kabbani also said that reports of 120 children being killed by Hamas “have been challenged by more recent disclosures indicating that not a single Israeli infant was a casualty during the said attacks. It was later confirmed that only one child’s death occurred two days following the attack, with circumstances involving IDF gunfire and lacking precise details.”

Contrary to its report, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has stated that at least 29 of the fatalities from Oct. 7 whose ages had been provided by Oct. 25 were children.
The Campaign Against Antisemitism’s Director of Investigations and Enforcement, Stephen Silverman, said in a public statement that the NAMP paper is “evidence that a major national policing association has been infiltrated by or is controlled by Islamists.” Silverman called for those “responsible for publishing this extremist screed” to be “immediately investigated by their respective forces’ professional standards departments and dismissed.”
The National Police Chiefs’ Council did not respond to Fox News Digital’s questions about whether they were concerned by the NAMP’s paper, whether it would take action in reference to it, and whether its statements were problematic for public trust.
Fox News Digital also received no response from NAMP or the British government.
Noting the “skyrocketing antisemitism” in the United Kingdom, Fox said that the NAMP’s policy paper is “grossly inappropriate.” He said that “whilst it is important that minority groups have dialogue with the police to ensure their issues are considered, divisive internal organizations, such as a group for Muslim officers, are clearly counterproductive to public trust. This practice should be clamped down on immediately and no police force should engage with this organization going forward.”
