One of Britain’s leading Muslim online preachers has lost a libel case after a judge ruled an article which portrays him as a “street agitator” who whips up mobs is substantially true.
Mohammed Hegab, who has 1.3 million YouTube subscribers under the name Mohammed Hijab, complained about an article published in The Spectator magazine.
The article by Douglas Murray, headlined “Leicester and the downside with diversity”, began with the observation that “if you import the world’s people you import the world’s problems”. It referred to videos that Hegab had filmed of clashes between Muslims and Hindus in Leicester and of speeches to his supporters in London and at anti-Israeli protests.
