Policy Exchange and Injket Printers

Osama Saeed links to a BBC investigation into the recent Policy Exchange “study” of literature in British mosques.

He summarises some of the program’s findings with respect to the receipts for “hate literature” provided to the BBC by Policy Exchange as follows:

• Receipts from North London mosque’s bookshop, when the mosque doesn’t have a bookshop. Forensic examination revealed that the receipt’s heading had been printed on an inkjet printer – when usual procedure for such pieces of paper would be mass printing
• Receipts from other mosques printed entirely on inkjet printers
• A receipt for Euston Mosque with the address on it being for the mosque next door to it on North Gower Street (who would have thought that two mosques next door to each other would be an advantage one day!)
• Forensic tests that found handwriting matching on two separate receipts for different mosques
• Forensic tests showing that the writing on one receipt had been done on top of another receipt for an entirely different mosque

Incidentally, Policy Exchange have also published the scribblings [pdf] of the Sydney Institute’s Gerard Henderson on how the former Australian government supposedly “confronted” militant Islam.
