‘Deeply disturbing’ views of Muslim Council candidates revealed
‘Deeply disturbing’ remarks made by the two candidates vying to lead the Muslim Council of Britain have been uncovered by a think tank.
Dr Muhammad Adrees and Dr Mohammed Wajid Akhter are battling it out to become the secretary-general of the group, with their first public hustings to take place on Tuesday.
But just days before the debate, right-wing think tank Policy Exchange has published a report highlighting some of their previous remarks which Britain’s longest serving Muslim MP Khalid Mahmood has described as ‘deeply disturbing’.
Policy Exchange’s report, titled ‘The Muslim Council of Britain’s new leadership’, claims Dr Adrees ‘has strongly supported the dictatorial regime in Iran‘.
While Dr Akhter, from Essex, is said to have ‘expressed views which appear ominous for the integration of Muslims into Britain’.
The document points to a 2022 article in which he advocated British Muslims to identify primarily as Muslim rather than British.
‘Most people teach their children to be their nationality or ethnicity first, but this gives such a limited and limiting view of yourself and others that this can lead children to be shallow,’ he wrote.
‘It is literally how the evils of nationalism, racism, and fascism are born…. Choosing faith as a primary identity for your children (and of course yourself!) allows a solid foundation upon which to approach the world.’

In another article in 2012, Dr Akhter described New Year celebrations as a ‘pagan’ event, saying Muslims shouldn’t take part because it ‘usually involves un-Islamic practices’ such as ‘mixed gender events where people wear fashionable clothes, dance and sing songs, etc. It is necessarily an Islam free zone, not least because it has no basis or relationship to Islam’.
Dr Adrees in 2017 wrote a glowing report in Islam Today about the Iran regime after visiting Tehran.
In it, he praised the former supreme leader Ruhollah Khomeini and ‘the Iranian Revolution, when the great leader led the nation to its destiny’.
Khalid Mahmood, a senior fellow at Policy Exchange and Britain’s longest-serving Muslim MP, from 2001 to 2024, told The Times: ‘The views exposed by Policy Exchange are deeply disturbing.
‘That the MCB keeps getting it wrong is no accident. It is a design fault rooted in its ideology. The government rightly refuses to engage with the MCB.’
MCB claimed Policy Exchange had ‘a long history of hostility towards British Muslims’, which the think tank strenuously denied.
The council added: ‘As for the specific allegations, we trust our affiliates will scrutinise candidates thoroughly in the weeks ahead at our hustings events and through the democratic process.’
Dr Akhter told The Times: ‘I am standing for secretary-general of the Muslim Council of Britain because I love my community and my country.
‘British Muslims have made, and will continue to make, a positive contribution to our society. My vision is to strengthen unity among all Britons, fostering mutual respect, shared values and opportunities for everyone to thrive.
‘Any attempt to misrepresent my views or intentions is not only deeply misleading but entirely unfounded.’
MailOnline has contacted Dr Adrees and the MCB for further comment.

“Based On Medical Facts, I Don’t Believe This Is A Miracle” – Medical Doctor Reacts To Pastor Chris Oyakhilome’s Miracle Video (Watch)
A Nigerian medical doctor, Dr Sina, has publicly reacted to a viral miracle video involving Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, stating that based on medical facts, he does not believe the incident qualifies as a miracle.
A video of Pastor Chris Oyakhilome healing some people who were reportedly unable to walk had initially made the rounds, stirring different reactions.

In a detailed breakdown shared online, the doctor explained that he carefully reviewed the video, slowing it down and examining the movements of the individuals described as crippled.
According to him, several physical and neurological signs expected in paralyzed or long-term crippled individuals were absent.
Dr Sina noted that medically, a non-functional or paralyzed leg often presents with abnormal angles, rotations, or muscle wasting due to disuse. However, he claimed these features were not evident in the video.
He also pointed out instances where some individuals appeared to move their legs freely, including crossing them, which he said would be impossible for someone who is paralyzed.
He further argued that even in a scenario where healing occurred instantly, the brain would still need time to relearn movement, balance, and coordination. In his view, the immediate and spontaneous jumping seen in the video did not align with how neurological recovery typically works.
While emphasizing that he believes in miracles as a Christian, Dr Sina maintained that, from a medical standpoint, the video did not provide sufficient evidence to conclude that a genuine miracle had taken place.
He encouraged viewers to slow down the footage themselves and consult medical professionals for further evaluation.
His words …
“I took a look at this Pastor Chris’ video and as a medic I slowed it down and examined critically.
I zoomed into the legs of the so called ” crippled” and here is what I’d say
1 If truly one is crippled , As Medics we know that the particular leg that’s crippled or non functional will assume an angle or rotation , None of the “crippled” had that angle which means most of them had fully functioning leg muscles.
2 If you look well there is a particular woman there that crossed her legs. If you are crippled aka paralyzed you can’t summon muscle power to bring your legs to make that angle
3 I tried to zoom even though I wasnt able to see clearly , usually when one has been crippled for a while there is tendency for the muscle to be asymmetric due to disuse, (except they’ve been having physio) took a look at all of them well, even though difficult i didn’t see physical signs of being crippled.
4 Even if we assume they were crippled for a while. If they miraculously got new nerves and muscles cells.
Jumping off the bed, the brain and other organs will still have to remaster movement. Balance and a little stagger.
The jump was spontaneous and not looking like a need for remastering.
Were they really crippled from the beginning ?
5 Slow the video and zoom zoom and check the occasional movement of the lower limb muscles of some of them ( show your doctor friends) that shows signs of intact nerve and muscle control
So are they really crippled?
PS- crippled will mean paralyzed or Paraplegic ( medical word)
Do miracles exist? As a Christian yes.
But is this a miracle? Looking at medical facts evidenced i don’t believe it is a miracle denovo.
You can fact check yourself”

Liars don’t last in ministry – Oyedepo warns pastors
The Presiding Bishop of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, also known as Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo, has warned pastors against lying in a bid to sustain or promote their ministries.
Speaking at the third service held at the church’s international headquarters, Canaanland, Ota, Ogun State, on Sunday during the final day of the 21-day fasting and prayer programme, Oyedepo said liars do not last in ministries.
“You won’t last in the ministry telling lies. I stand before God, I will never tell lies about what God did not do just to impress anyone,” he said.
The cleric emphasised the importance of holding firmly to the truth of the Scriptures and giving glory to God alone, noting that such commitment is what enables ministers to attain enviable heights.
He equally advised believers to keep their love for Jesus alive, saying total dependence on God guarantees victory over life’s challenges.
The bishop further shared a personal testimony, recalling how a close associate in Ile-Ife who was afflicted with insanity was restored after Scripture was read to him.
He affirmed his confidence in divine protection, declaring that no evil plan against him would succeed.
