Probe launched into police trainer who shared content describing Jews as ‘filth'

“I have immediately requested that West Midlands Police conduct an investigation into this matter and report to me as a matter of urgency, so that I can then determine the best course of action, based on the outcome of that investigation."

Having spent ten years working for the West Midlands Police, Mr Mustafa now serves as a regional course director at Staffordshire University, where he trains new recruits to the force.

Statement from the PCC: "I am grateful to the Express and Star for today drawing my attention to a newspaper article dated 15 February 2023. I am deeply concerned about this matter and am treating it with the utmost seriousness. 1/2 https://t.co/aPj1rVTkke

The material shared by Mr Mustafa included a video that contained a “call” that asked: “Where is the Caliph of the Muslims? Don’t you care that the Jews are defiling the place of the prophet’s nocturnal journey with their filth? The Jews are the most hostile people towards the believers.”

Discussing Mr Mustafa, Mr Shawcross wrote: “I was disturbed to learn that this individual has worked with Government departments on counter terrorism and security policy. 

“In 2020, he authored a paper for NAMP advising Counter Terrorism Policing drop the terms ‘Islamism’ and ‘jihadism’, which was later discussed at a meeting attended by senior policing figures.”

Dr Mustafa has been contacted for comment.
