A community radio station has apologised after an Ofcom investigation found it broadcast a chant in Arabic which contained "jihadi lyrics" that were an "indirect call to action".
Link FM, which is based in Sheffield, was found to have committed two breaches of the broadcast watchdog's code by playing a chant - known as a nasheed - twice during two breakfast shows in December last year.
The Pakistan Muslim Centre, the licensee of the radio station, said it "wholeheartedly [apologised] for the error", adding that the presenter who broadcast the chant did not speak Arabic, and the piece had not been checked before being aired.
The broadcast watchdog received four complaints with listeners reporting that the nasheed which was aired was called Jundallah and contained "jihadi lyrics" that "promoted terrorism". In its report, the watchdog said it understood nasheeds are a "well-established expression of Islamic faith" which have a "benign religious message, and no violent overtones".
