Ali Hammuda, an Imam at a Cardiff mosque (shown right) where three young jihadis from the city worshipped before travelling to Syria to join Islamic State, also told the group of boys as young as 13 that the 'day of judgment is close' - a key part of IS's warped propaganda. Hammuda (pictured top left) is still preaching at the same mosque, two years after the three 'Cardiff jihadis' left for Syria in 2014 (two are pictured bottom left).
The cleric's extraordinary preachings were recorded secretly at a halaqa, or religious study circle (pictured main), at the Al-Manar mosque by an undercover reporter. In the most damning section of the recording, Hammuda explains a series of Hadiths, or sayings of the Prophet Mohammed with his group, where he inserts his own twisted interpretations. At no point does Hammuda, who was born in Palestine but brought up in the UK, point out that slavery (shown inset) is no longer permitted in Islam, nor indeed that it is illegal in the UK.
