(Jewish News) A mosque in north-west London hosted a vigil for a British citizen named in a Hezbollah funeral poster as a fallen fighter, Jewish News can reveal.
Details of the November 2024 event at the Imam Hussain Mosque in Brondesbury were uncovered by online investigative group the Electronic Uprising, which monitors extremism and terrorism glorification online.
The mosque published a Facebook post announcing a “Condolence and Fatiha council” for Muhammad Jamal Baalbaki, whose death it described as a loss to “the Lebanese and Islamic community in London.” Photographs from the event show mourners gathering in front of a large projected image of Baalbaki in military-style burial garb, alongside traditional Shi’a iconography.
