A Nottingham-based radio station was fined £2,000 for broadcasting a song said that allegedly glorifies violence against non-Muslims.
It is said that Ofcom found Radio Dawn was in “serious breach” of its licence when it aired the “nasheed” chant on 26th December 2016.
The watchdog suggested that the 17-minute chant in Urdu, which is recited by a young boy “glorifies historic violence against infidels”, and allegedly suggested acts of the similar nature to be committed to bring honour to Islam.
Under the Ofcom code, licensees must not air any sort of material which is likely to motivate crime and distress.
