The Muslim Vote EXPOSED: Campaign worked on by ex-UK leader of banned terror group

February 21, 2024

UK-based campaign The Muslim Vote appears to have been worked by the former leader of a now banned terrorist organisation, GB News can reveal.

The controversial political campaign is urging millions of Muslims to vote out MPs who did not call for a Gaza ceasefire.

Muhammad Jalal, formerly known as Jalaluddin Patel, has previously shown public support for the group and operated as the UK leader of the now banned terrorist organisation Hizb ut-Tahrir between 2000 and 2007.

He appeared to throw his weight behind the Muslim Vote in December in a post to X, formerly Twitter, saying he is “pleased to announce a project we have been working on”.

Jalal added: “A united group of organisations have come together and launched https://themuslimvote.co.uk, the aim of the campaign is simple. In the 2024 election, we will focus on those MPs in 55 large Muslim-populated constituencies the voted against the Gaza ceasefire.”

Speaking on GB News, host Patrick Christys (said) this is a sign of Jalal “backing” the campaign.

Approached by GB News for comment, both The Muslim Vote and Jalal are yet to provide a response.

An invite to appear on GB News has been extended to Jalal.

The Muslim Vote is plotting to oust at least 55 Labour and Tory MPs who voted against or abstained on the Gaza ceasefire vote in Parliament last December.

The Muslim Council of Britain found in 2019 that 31 marginal seats could be decided by Muslim Votes, potentially enough to swing an election.
