Criticism of mosque finally revealed as MEN uncovers secret Manchester Arena bomb report

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Trustees of Didsbury Mosque 'did not have a formal method of controlling' literature which contained 'possibly extremist messages'.

They also 'did not submit' a report to the Charity Commission about alleged links to 'an act of terrorism' after it was reported that the Manchester Arena bomber prayed there.

That's according to documents obtained by the Manchester Evening News following a long freedom of information battle. The mosque was also told to ensure anyone using its 'Sharia Council', which provides rulings and advice to Muslims, 'are aware no ruling which it makes is legally binding', while it was also criticised for failing to record the suspension and reinstatement of an imam photographed wearing army fatigues in Libya.

The revelations are in an 'action plan' drawn up for the mosque, a registered charity, by the Charity Commission some 16 months after the 2017 suicide bombing at Manchester Arena which claimed 22 innocent lives and left hundreds more seriously injured.
