Ibis hotels slammed for hosting conference by anti-gay Islamic extremists -

 

The UK’s Pink Paper reports on shocking news that  Ibis hotel group stand accused by gay human rights campaigners of irresponsibly hosting conferences by extremist anti-gay hate preachers!

 
The next conference by the Islamic Education and Research Academy will be held on Sunday 16 January at the Ibis Hotel in Earl's Court in London.

The Ibis group is being urged to cancel the iERA booking and "stop hosting speakers who variously incite homophobic hatred and the killing of gay people," according to Peter Tatchell.

The iERA has featured Muslim fundamentalist preachers who advocate the criminalisation of homosexuality and even the death penalty for same-sex acts. They argue that it is necessary to execute gays to keep society pure. They defend these extreme teachings about homosexuality as a model that should be followed by contemporary societies.

The headline speakers at Sunday's conference are associates of the hate preachers Dr Zakir Naik and Bilal Phillips. Both banned from entering Britain by the Home Secretary, Theresa May, last year.

Another iERA advisor, Hussein Yee is also banned from entering the UK.

The iERA speakers at the Ibis Hotel on Sunday are: Shaykh Abdullah Hakim Quick,
Abduraheem Green, Shaykh Ala El Sayed, Shaykh Shady Suleiman, Hamza Tzortzis and Yusuf Chambers.

"The Ibis Hotel group should not facilitate speakers who promote homophobic discrimination and violence. They should cancel this booking," said Tatchell.
