Someone else wrote this about Harrow Mosque elections and the "living Masjid"/"United Ummah" claims:

open reply to the sister posting ‘A Sorry Saga for all: Power Politics in a
British Mosque’
Dear Young Sister (It is said wisdom comes with age, also knowing that you do not know, therefore I’m assuming you are young).
The injunctions in the Holy Quran and the Noble Hadith are clear ‘when news comes to you verify it, lest you should harm people in ignorance and afterwards become regretful for what you have done’ 49:6.
Most of the allegations made are plain lies and at best half-baked truths.
The elections were flawed and fundamentally rigged from beginning to end, and can only be upheld in the fantasy micky mouse and banana republic world view. The standard of cheating has been second to none and completely unprecedented in Harrow Central Mosque.
Here is the tip of the iceberg
· 61 unknown persons registered on production of an unverified receipt alone.
· Up to 116 persons voted from outside the area, which had previously had membership revoked on account of being outside the area.
· 4 Persons of the opposition actively ‘assisting’ voters in filling in ballot forms. Including the wife of one of the candidates.
· Multiple ballot papers filled in.
· Registered voters turned away and unable to vote.
· Voters turning up to find their names crossed out already, suggested someone already voted in their place.
· Many votes paid for memberships in return for guaranteed voting for candidates, even though they have no interest in the mosque.
· Number of outside persons fraudulently registering an address in the area just to vote.
· Unknown persons bought in last minute to count the ballot papers.
· Unsecured ballot boxes taken home without due process prior to any reconciliation.
· Whole campaign headed by a Multi-millionaire business tycoon, during whose tenure he employed his crony contractors (one-man bands each paid 100’s and thousands of community money, before declaring bankruptcy) leaving the Mosque building in shambles, and thereafter costing 100’s thousands of pounds to put right.
Harrow Mosque belongs to the community of Harrow and surrounding areas; there is no way it can be handed over to outside outfit. The community refuse to accept this shambolic electoral process. Let fair elections take place and result will speak for itself.
Your insinuation it is a Pakistani Mosque, is also a flawed argument, as all segments of the community support Harrow Mosque, although it is a separate matter the Board of Governors (whom you also slate), most of who happen to be the elders and founders of the mosque happen to be from the Indian Subcontinent background.
No doubt being a chair of Harrow Central Mosque holds a lot of influence and sway with the authorities, which given someone is a director of a PLC working in the public sector will yield person dividend. But what cost to the community?
The Muslims of Harrow are rightful inheritors of the House of Allah!! The Mosque was not built to further anybody’s business interest or to further any geo-political plans and sow roots of radicalism or to support unsavoury charities.
Failings of the current trustees include entrusting someone as an election commission who failed to deliver the ‘election’ that has nor the experience or the integrity to deliver the same, who was more than partisan by actively colluding with one side.
You call them fair elections? Rigged to the core - Check the facts!!!
These people can hide from the people of Harrow from not from the Allah Taala and His Beloved Prophet SallaoAleyWaSalam.
Allah's Messenger (saas) said, "In the End Times men will come forth who will fraudulently use religion for worldly ends and wear sheepskins in public to display meekness. Their tongues will be sweeter than sugar, but their hearts will be the hearts of wolves."(Tirmidhi)"
