(GB News) An NHS Muslim chaplain filmed praising the Taliban’s rule in Afghanistan has risked becoming a “propaganda tool,” experts have claimed.
In an interview with the Taliban’s state-owned TV channel RTA, Suliman Gani, an imam from South London who works at the St George’s hospital in Tooting, said that he was “very impressed” by the Taliban government.
Gani’s visit to Afghanistan, which involved meetings with Taliban ministers, was exposed by this broadcaster last week.
A statement from the Taliban’s Supreme Court claimed that the delegation of imams — who travelled with charity Human Aid & Advocacy — praised the new government in Afghanistan as a “role model” as a “Shariah-based system.”
