Four Islamic charities are promoting material suggesting 'apostates' should be killed, women should be subordinate to men including by accepting marital rape and homosexuality is not innate.
The National Secular Society has reported the charities to the charities regulator, the Charity Commission, after NSS research found they link to or explicitly carry extremist material on their websites.
The commission has said it will open "assessment cases" into the charities in response to the NSS's concerns.

Furthermore, all agree that the apostate's punishment is death." [National Secular Society] Read more
