An Islamic charity accused of being an outpost of the Iranian regime in London has the right to bring workers into Britain.The Islamic Centre of England in Maida Vale appears on a Home Office list of organisations with approval to sponsor skilled worker visas.Licensed visa sponsors have been officially vetted and approved by the Home Office to hire non-UK citizens.The centre remains on the list despite claims it has been involved in spreading pro-Tehran propaganda and has successfully issued a number of certificates of sponsorship – documents required for migrant workers applying to enter Britain.It is currently under investigation by the Charity Commission over alleged ties to Tehran.The charity was reported to the watchdog earlier this year for hosting a 'community bazaar' where stalls sold pro-Tehran key rings and Hezbollah-themed phone cases.Other stalls sold stickers featuring the silhouette of General Qassim Soleimani, former head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). When Soleimani was killed in an American air strike in 2020, the centre hosted a candlelit vigil.Shadow national security minister Alicia Kearns called for the centre to be immediately removed from the list. The Islamic Centre of England in Maida Vale appears on a Home Office list of organisations with approval to sponsor skilled worker visas'This is a bona-fide backdoor into the UK for Iranian agents,' she said.'For years I've worked to get the Islamic Centre of England, an indoctrination hub, shut down.'Kasra Aarabi, director of research on the IRGC at United Against Nuclear Iran, a non-profit organisation, called its inclusion on the Home Office list 'truly appalling'.He added: 'This is no ordinary mosque or charity. It operates as the UK office of the Iranian regime's supreme leader. The situation is far worse than has been reported.'In response, the centre insisted it was not a representative of 'any government, political entity, or individual'.A spokesman said: 'Like many charities, faith organisations and other eligible institutions in the UK, the centre holds a Home Office sponsor licence, which allows it to sponsor skilled workers where it meets the requirements of the UK's immigration system.'We recognise that questions have previously been raised about the centre and its perceived relationship with the Iranian government. The centre has consistently maintained that it is an independent UK charity and carries out its activities in accordance with UK law and its charitable objectives.'A string of Islamic bookshops flogging anti-Semitic texts also appear on the visa list.Some of the books being sold offer outrageous claims, such as one saying that Jewish people have a 'wicked nature', while other texts have been labelled as a radicalisation threat by our prisons.One of those on sale is Milestones by Sayyid Qutb, an influential former Muslim Brotherhood leader who believed Islam should govern every aspect of society.His work also denounces 'world Jewry'.Other texts include those by Hasan al-Banna, the Brotherhood's founder, and Bilal Philips, a cleric banned by the Home Office, who offered advice on beating wives.The books sold by these businesses are not illegal in the UK and in some cases are sold through a number of mainstream platforms.There is no suggestion of wrongdoing on the part of the businesses.
