The Ahlulbayt Islamic Mission (AIM), which is headquartered in the Cricklewood neighborhood of London, supports many of the worst enemies of Western democracies. For example, its Facebook page features the above image which lionizes numerous terrorists including Sheikh Ahmed Yassin from Hamas, Emad Mughniya from Hezbollah, Abu-Mahdi Al-Muhandis from the Popular Mobilization Force, and Qassem Soleimani from the Quds Force of the IRGC. Despite its support for pro-Islamist terrorists, the organization runs an annual summer camp for Muslim campers outside of London. AIM posted the above image on Facebook in 2020.
