An Islamic summer camp accused of backing Iran has been cancelled after claims that it could expose children to extremist views.

The event, run by the Ahlulbayt Islamic Mission (AIM) charity, is aimed at children aged nine to 14, with activities including climbing and abseiling along with “lectures and discussions”.

AIM describes Camp Wilayah, which had been set to take place in Kings Langley, Hertfordshire, this month, as an “amazing place to enjoy the outdoors, make new friends, learn and build on Islamic values”.

But it announced on Wednesday that it had cancelled the camp after what it claimed was “Islamophobic” hostility and far-Right threats.

The charity’s decision came after The Telegraph highlighted fears by MPs and peers that the camp could expose children as young as nine to extreme views.

AIM promotes the annual four-day camp, which costs £180 per child, as “a unique opportunity to explore your true potential amidst the serenity of nature and an Islamic ambience”.
