💭 Chair of government-funded charity says Islam is “demonic”
Posted: Wed, 22 Feb 2023
The government recently gave thousands of pounds to a Christian group whose chair said Islam is "demonic" and "spiritual wickedness", the National Secular Society has found.

Zion Projects, a Christian charity based in Eastleigh, Hampshire, is one of 16 religious organisations given a total of £1.3 million in public money as part of the government's 'Faith New Deal' fund. Zion Projects was awarded £43,220 last year for a project entitled "As One Hampshire".

In this 2020 video on Vimeo shows Danny Stupple, the chair and a trustee of Zion Projects, making anti-Islam comments during a Covid-19 lockdown meeting of the "Eastleigh Prophetic Hub".

In the video, which opens with the Zion Projects logo, Stupple responds to a question about Islamic 'calls to prayer' being broadcast during lockdown by saying "a very strong force of spiritual wickedness known as Islam is engaging in warfare against the Lord with its open air prayers".

He said that Islamic prayers are "one example" of "the enemy" trying to use the Covid-19 pandemic, adding that the Islamic system of belief "is truly demonic".

He advised that anyone who hears the calls to prayers should "deny it power in Jesus' name", which is "more than able to deal with the spiritual forces of wickedness in those prayers". He called such a scenario a "warfare context".

The findings follow a recent report by Muslim advocacy group Mercy Mission UK which questioned the absence of Muslim organisations among recipients of 'faith new deal' grants. All but three of the recipients are Christian; two are interfaith organisations, and one is Jewish.

A freedom of information request to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities (DLHC) found 351 organisations applied for Faith New Deal funding, including at least 21 Muslim groups.

The NSS has written to Baroness Scott of Bybrook, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at DHLC, to express its concerns and ask what checks were made on the recipients of Faith New Deal funding.
