THE GUARDIAN: Longstanding issue for community given little attention compared with closure of ex-Ukip leader’s Coutts account, says mosque chair
The furore over the closure of Nigel Farage’s bank accounts with Coutts has led to the resignation of two chief executives and an intervention by Downing Street.
But, when nearly a decade ago, three Muslim organisations, including Finsbury Park mosque, had their HSBC bank accounts shut, there was little public acknowledgment or support.
The chair of Finsbury Park mosque, Mohammed Kozbar, has criticised this “double standard” and spoken of his frustration that British Muslims who have been struggling with this problem for the past decade have been left to do so alone. » | Aamna Mohdin and Ben Quinn | Thursday, July 27, 2023
