In yet another shocking failure in a long line of interfaith outreach by Western governments since 9/11, The Daily Telegraph reports today that the American-born Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, has been recently promoting a program associated with the notorious Al-Manaar mosque not far from Kensington Palace. The mosque has produced as many as nineteen terrorists -- including "Jihadi John" and his Islamic State "Beatles" who tortured and beheaded Western captives in Syria.
The duchess has helped raise more than $250,000 for the Hubb Community Kitchen operated out of the mosque by promoting a cookbook that royal press agents have billed as celebrating "the power of cooking to bring communities together":
But it appears that there's more to it than that.
According to The Daily Telegraph:
A community kitchen supported by the Duchess of Sussex is housed inside a mosque linked by experts to individuals connected to “terrorist acts” and run by an imam who says girls who listen to music risk becoming strippers.
Meghan visited the Al Manaar Muslim Cultural Heritage Centre on Wednesday after championing a cookbook to raise funds for the “Hubb Community Kitchen” project there to help victims of the fire at nearby Grenfell Tower.
In February it emerged the 37-year-old royal had made secret visits to the mosque in Westbourne Grove, which has also hosted Princes William and Harry, Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn in recent months.
An investigation by the Henry Jackson Society (HJS), the anti-extremism think tank, has linked the mosque, opened by Prince Charles in 2001, to 19 jihadists, including Islamic State executioner Mohammed Emwazi, also known as Jihadi John.
Research by the HJS suggests the mosque was once attended by three of the four “Beatles”, the Isil terror cell charged with guarding, torturing and killing hostages in Syria and Iraq. As well as Emwazi, Choukri Ellekhlifi, Alexanda Kotey and Aine Davis, all from west London, also have links with Al Manaar.
"Jihadi John" Emwazi was responsible for the beheading of American journalists Steven Sotloff and James Foley, and British aid workers David Haines, Alan Henning, and Peter Kassig.
Emwazi was killed in a U.S. drone strike in Raqqa, Syria, in November 2015.
An ITV News report earlier this week reported that the duchess has made numerous unreported visits to the notorious mosque in recent months.
And Kensington Palace reported that she made an appearance on Wednesday.
An earlier report by David Vance noted that the convicted 7/21 bombers, who attempted to launch a series of bombings across London just two weeks after the 7/7 bombings in 2005 that killed 52 innocent civilians, also attended the mosque. Their bombs malfunctioned when the blasting caps failed to detonate the explosives as they traveled on three different London underground trains and a bus.
The Sun reported last night that Kensington Palace was trying to distance Markle from the mosque, claiming that the community kitchen housed in the mosque is an independent project.
But this does raise questions about how royal officials decided to promote an effort so closely tied to the Al-Mannar mosque when reports going back to 2014 chronicled the role that the mosque played in the radicalization of "Jihadi John" and the ISIS "Beatles."
In December 2010 I noted the visit of then-U.S. ambassador to the UK Louis B. Susman to the extremist East London mosque, the terrorist incubator that produced the Underwear Bomber and Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, among others.
I've also reported here at PJ Media on several U.S. mosques that have been repeatedly tied to domestic and international terror cases:
Dar al-Hijrah in Falls Church, Virginia, outside Washington, D.C., was the former home of notorious al-Qaeda cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who was killed in a CIA drone strike in Yemen, as well as Fort Hood killer Major Nidal Hasan and five terrorist operatives captured in Pakistan, among others.
The Islamic Community Center of Phoenix was the spiritual home of the ISIS-inspired Garland, Texas, terrorists who were killed as they attempted to launch an attack on a "Draw Muhammad" art contest. When the mosque attempted to distance itself from the attack, I reported here exclusively that one of the terrorists had appeared in a mosque fundraising video, and that they had posted bond for the same man in a prior terrorism case. Two other terrorists convicted in separate cases had previously attended the mosque.
Masjid Omar Ibn El Khattab in Columbus, Ohio, very close to the Ohio State University campus, was not only home to the largest known al-Qaeda cell in the U.S. since 9/11, but also produced one cell that sent money to al-Qaeda cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, and another that saw three young area residents leave for Syria to join ISIS.
What the present case of Meghan Markle's promotion of the North Kensington Al-Mannar mosque shows yet again is that despite multiple warning signs, when it comes to promoting interfaith outreach, Western officials appear to never learn.
Surely no one is surprised. You become what you marry into.
Markle was always a commie lib, going back years whenever she was interviewed she always sounded like a commie looney tune
She will say and do whatever is required to try to polish her image as a royal. She’d turn on a dime if they did.
Leftists love Mohammadan terrorists. Princess Moron Golddigger is no different.
I’m shocked! Shocked, I tell you!
Should be arrested for promoting terrorism.
At least she’s over there.
I’m sure Prince Charles is on board with this.
Well, of course!

And all the so-called "nationalists" (not a bad thing), aka British patriots, who voted for Brexit.
Has he converted, yet ?
I’d say Charles has all-but-converted.
He is one major-league doofus.
And yet MI6 is more concerned about taking down President Trump......while this goes on under the their noses and MI5 as well.
Britain is done, they just don't know it. And the Royal family cannot honestly LOOK at their children and expect them to be be royalty for very much longer. 10 years max.
London. =. Home to large num bars of TERRORISTS. !
Absolutely.
And MI-6 and the British government is more concerned at this time in negotiating the blocking of the DECLAS of the evidence that MI-6 and the British government was complicit in the FISA-gate coup and actual Russian collusion to rig an American election.
The current British government and the USA under Trump do indeed have a "special relationship". And it's not a good one.
In actuality and real politik, England is on the verge of total derp status. They do struggle. If they lose the struggle, they will join the EU as full-fledged derp state enemies of America.
Well, aside from raping your children, enslaving everyone, random acid attacks. Knifings and bombing both citizens and first responders; perhaps if you bend over and submit meekly, they will kill you last?
Honestly, what’s wrong with these people?
Bttt
Hey, Great Britain. She’s YOUR problem now!
