The Metropolitan Police have said that an imam who led a prayer for the destruction of Jewish homes "did not meet the threshold of a crime” in a decision that has baffled security experts.
Just two weeks after Hamas’s massacre in southern Israel last year, a preacher at an east London mosque – located near a sizeable Jewish community – told his followers: “Oh Allah, curse the Jews and the children of Israel. Oh Allah, curse the infidels and the polytheists.
“Oh Allah, break their words, shake their feet, disperse and tear apart their unity and ruin their houses and destroy their homes.”
No doubt the Met are referencing the special use of the term "destroy" in Islamic theology, where it can have a number of meanings including a holy spiritual struggle – as they helpfully explained to us about "jihad".
Or this is yet another example of two tier policing.
