A man who claimed to be a former GMB union race and equality officer and who has chaired a children’s charity wore a Hamas-style Islamist headband at Gaza rallies and celebrated a “Muslim army” of protesters.

But he claims it has nothing to do with Hamas.

A key organiser of Gaza rallies in Bradford, Chaq Ashiq Hussain has worn Hamas-style garb at numerous demonstrations, and led chants of “Israel is a terror state”.

Hussain’s bandana – which he claims to have worn for decades – bears the same declaration to Allah and Muhammad as those worn by Hamas terrorists in Gaza.
