HSBC closing bank accounts of British Muslims

Muslims in the UK are complaining that the HSBC bank is closing their accounts for no reason.

The Guardian reported that London’s Finsbury Park Mosque was among the Muslim organizations to have their account closed without being told why.

The mosque officials said they could not understand the reason, mentioning that they are a UK based organization and do not transfer any money abroad.

Although HSBC has denied that their decisions to close accounts were based on race or religion, the bank’s statement still leaves question marks as to why Muslim accounts were targeted.
