How Muslim news site 5Pillars spreads conspiracy theories and hate
The former leader of Britain First, a far right party, was not an obvious interviewee for an Islamic news outlet that claims to represent the British Muslim community. Hussain, the deputy editor of 5Pillars, had invited her on, he told viewers, after discovering, to his surprise, that she opposed Israel.
Speaking on the podcast, Fransen began to rail against a supposed conspiracy established by Jews to undermine Western nations.
“The agenda is a Zionist agenda, in that it’s not just Jews, but if you look at who is behind all of it, if you look at, as I said, who owns the largest, that I know of, porn platform Pornhub – a rabbi,” she said.
“Who's behind the abortion industry? Who's funding it? Jews. Who's pushing the LGBTQPZ plus agenda? All of this is attributed to the Zionists, they're not all Jews but it's irrefutable that there is a disproportionate number of Jews occupying positions of authority here in the United Kingdom as in government and we see the same in other parts of the West.”
In November, the alternative press regulator Impress ruled that the interview had “encouraged abuse or hatred against a group” after the Community Security Trust brought a complaint.
Impress’s verdict that 5Pillars had discriminated against Jews is just the latest incident in a long history of extremism, however.
Roshan Muhammed Salih, who owns 5Pillars, previously served as head of news at the Iranian-regime-backed Press TV in London. During his tenure, the Press TV website published an article written by former UCL academic and Shoah denier Nicholas Kollerstrom which claimed that Nazi Germany’s slaughter of Jewish people during the Holocaust was "scientifically impossible".
In 2013, the Muslim news outlet, 5Pillars, had suggested that the murderer of British soldier Lee Rigby, who was killed in London by extremists, could have been working for the British security services.
Salih wrote: "Did Michael Adebolajo and his friend hack that British soldier to death on the orders of MI5 because they had some leverage over them and they were compelled to do it? Did MI5 set the whole thing up to demonise Muslims and Islam?"
A 2014 article, meanwhile, asked whether the murder of James Foley, an American journalist who was beheaded by Isis, had been staged by Western intelligence agencies.
Following the Taliban’s seizure of power in Afghanistan three years ago, 5Pillars has covered the Islamist movement’s return to power closely.
Writing on X, Salih has accused the mainstream media of launching a "full-blown crusade to provoke an uprising against the Taliban".
“This should be the main narrative of media around the world, rather than the red herrings about women's rights etc that we are being sold.”
Other articles published by 5Pillars have featured calls for the creation of a Muslim caliphate.
In another video created by 5Pillars titled, “The people of Sodom, Prophet Lut and the LGBT movement”, Hussain meanwhile described being gay as “a gross crime against Allah”.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
