Omar Abdallah Mansuur is a mid-level employee in the British National Health Service (NHS). He is also an Islamist imam and an Islamic influencer on social media. In one of his incendiary, hate-filled videos… He said that a Muslim imam with whom he disagrees should be executed for alleged blasphemy against the Prophet Muhammad..
The threat of the NHS imam
Abdallah Mansur's words are clear and leave no room for doubt. In one of the videos, speaking about another imam, he states: “If he repents, he will be put to death in the way Muslims are killed. If he does not repent, he will be captured, executed and buried in a hole like a dog.”In another live broadcast, he declares: “His sentence is death; even if he repents, repentance does not stop the execution..” And he adds: “His blood is halal.” Finally, it encourages direct action with an alarming message: “Each of you should do what you can.”
These statements have been interpreted by the victim, by experts and by the police. like an authentic fatwa, a call to murder in the name of Islam.
The victim is living in hiding outside the United Kingdom.
The victim is also a 32-year-old imam who has fled the United Kingdom and is now hiding in Europe.“It's a constant nightmare. My life is in danger and I live looking over my shoulder every moment.”, he has stated to the Daily Mail (18/05/2025). The police have warned him that He cannot return to the United Kingdom because it is too dangerous..
According to him, he has received advice to Avoid mosques and places with large crowds of people., and he says that the death threats, intimidation and harassment have intensified. He fears he will be murdered like the French teacher Samuel Paty, who was beheaded in 2020 after being accused of showing a caricature of Muhammad. “I'm afraid the same thing will happen to me,” he concludes.
The victim's «sin» was that in 2022 they took part in religious debates on social networks such as Clubhouse. In these online chats expressed opinions that some Islamist sectors consider offensive.
Weak reaction from the police and society
Despite the gravity of the threats issued by Omar Mansuur and the consequences for the victim, The British authorities have not taken firm action.. They've only suspended him from work, but He continues to publicly defend that the death penalty for blasphemy is legitimate according to Islamic law.. He insists that he is only expressing a “religious opinion.”.
The Metropolitan Police has referred the case to the authorities of the European country where the victim is hiding, but There is no active criminal investigation in the United Kingdom for incitement to murder.. This contrast has generated outrage among secular sectors and defenders of freedom of expression, who point to the hypocrisy of the system: while They detain British citizens for mere opinions on social media, yet allow an imam who claims that “the blood of an infidel is halal.” and encourages his followers to “do what they can”.
Second intervention of the Not sufficient in a few months
The National Secular Society (NSS), one of the most active voices defending freedom of thought in the United Kingdom with a 150-year history, denounces this double standard. The organisation He intervened a few weeks ago in a case in which the prosecution was attempting to reintroduce the offence of blasphemy. against a man for having publicly burned a copy of the Qur'an. For the NSS, that case demonstrated that blasphemy continues to be covertly pursued if it offends Islamic sensibilities. Now, in Mansuur's case, The entity demands that the same law be used to punish uncomfortable opinions. It also applies to those who promote or justify murders.
The NSS is clear: “It is unacceptable that in 21st-century Great Britain, the death of alleged blasphemers can be called for without legal consequences.”, they state.“The State cannot protect freedom of worship at the expense of sacrificing freedom of expression and people's safety..”
The passivity of the state and the silence of a section of society in the face of these cases sends a dangerous message: that Religious violence can go unpunished if it is disguised as “freedom of belief."”This tolerance, they say, does not protect diversity but rather puts democratic coexistence at risk.
