The National Association of Muslim Police (NAMP) is currently under fire after it was discovered that a policy document it endorsed contains what opponents label as “antisemitic falsehoods.” Additionally, the organization is facing allegations of being “infiltrated or controlled by Islamist factions.”
This controversy marks another troubling episode for British law enforcement agencies, as they continue to be criticized for allegedly uneven policing tactics, particularly in the context of anti-Israel and pro-British demonstrations.
Uncovered by The Spectator, the contentious paper titled “From Past Prejudices to Present Policies: Confronting Anti-Muslim Hatred and Promoting Human Rights” has sparked significant debate. In the document, former NAMP Vice President Khaldoun Kabbani describes Zionism as “a narrow, nationalist, and colonialist ideology that encourages anti-Muslim sentiment, among other xenophobic tendencies, diverging from the inclusive and compassionate ethos of Judaism.”
Amidst this controversy, a rally was held by the Campaign Against Antisemitism outside Downing Street in London on April 30, 2026, in response to the stabbing of two Jewish men in the Golders Green area. During the event, Prime Minister Keir Starmer committed to enhancing security funding for Jewish institutions and urged collective action against antisemitism. (Carlos Jasso/AFP)

In addition to calling the IDF a Zionist terrorist group, the paper surmises that “eventually” the IDF’s actions following Oct. 7 “will be recognized as terrorism, though likely without any reference to the Jewish faith.” The report appeared to be deleted from the web, though it continues to be hosted online through an archive at the Wayback Machine.
Andrew Fox, senior associate fellow at the Henry Jackson Society, told News Media that the paper is filled with “antisemitic lies and blood libels.”

Kabbani’s paper calls for “dismantling myths through education,” but he presents unsourced facts about Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack.
In one segment, Kabbani notes that “as the hostilities commenced, reports in Israeli and Western media outlets began circulating alarming and unverified stories about acts of violence by Hamas, including claims of beheadings and assaults. These reports have significantly contributed to increasing hatred towards Islam.”

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer vowed Thursday to boost security for the Jewish community following the latest attack against it, while urging Britons to unite against antisemitism. Facing accusations from angry British Jews that his government has repeatedly failed to protect them, Starmer pledged immediate increased funding for synagogues and other sites but insisted UK society must “come together” to “fight antisemitism”.

Dr. Chen Kugel, head of the National Center for Forensic Medicine in Israel, told the themedialine in Nov 2023 that many of the burned bodies of Oct. 7 victims, including those of babies, are “without heads.” He admitted it was “difficult to ascertain whether they were decapitated before or after death, as well as how they were beheaded.”
Kabbani also said that reports of 120 children being killed by Hamas “have been challenged by more recent disclosures indicating that not a single Israeli infant was a casualty during the said attacks. It was later confirmed that only one child’s death occurred two days following the attack, with circumstances involving IDF gunfire and lacking precise details.”

Contrary to its report, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has stated that at least 29 of the fatalities from Oct. 7 whose ages had been provided by Oct. 25 were children.
The Campaign Against Antisemitism’s Director of Investigations and Enforcement, Stephen Silverman, said in a public statement that the NAMP paper is “evidence that a major national policing association has been infiltrated by or is controlled by Islamists.” Silverman called for those “responsible for publishing this extremist screed” to be “immediately investigated by their respective forces’ professional standards departments and dismissed.”

The National Police Chiefs’ Council did not respond to News Media’s questions about whether they were concerned by the NAMP’s paper, whether it would take action in reference to it, and whether its statements were problematic for public trust.
News Media also received no response from NAMP or the British government.
Noting the “skyrocketing antisemitism” in the United Kingdom, Fox said that the NAMP’s policy paper is “grossly inappropriate.” He said that “whilst it is important that minority groups have dialogue with the police to ensure their issues are considered, divisive internal organizations, such as a group for Muslim officers, are clearly counterproductive to public trust. This practice should be clamped down on immediately and no police force should engage with this organization going forward.”
