West Midlands Police, the Met, Lancashire Police and Northamptonshire Police are now probing the allegations.
In videos shown on Talk Today, one preacher said to be at the Redbridge Islamic Centre in Ilford invites his congregation to "curse the Jews and the children of Israel".
The sermon, originally in Arabic, calls on God to "tear apart their community and ruin their houses and destroy their homes".
The mosque confirmed the imam will not be allowed to address worshippers again until their own investigation is complete.

In further footage from mosques in Birmingham and Northampton, preachers can be heard spewing a similar rhetoric, TalkTV reports.
The congregation are urged to call on Allah to "kill" the "usurping Jews" and limit their numbers.
Another clip reportedly from a mosque in Liverpool shows a preacher spouting alleged hate speech.
TalkTV has compared the rants to those of hook-handed hate preacher Abu Hamza, who is currently languishing in a US jail after he was deported.

Hamas launched a surprise attack against Israel on October 7, killing more than 1,400 people and taking more than 220 hostages.
Families living in Gaza have been caught in the brutal crossfire, with regular accusations that the terrorists are attempting to use them as “human shields”.
Much of the northern part of the strip has been turned into a devastated warzone - with ruined buildings, dwindling supplies and horrific suffering for Gaza’s people.
Pro-Palestine protesters have been marching through the streets of Britain since the war began as they call for an Israeli ceasefire.
Police have reported a rise in both Islamophobia and anti-Semitism since the battle erupted.
The police forces confirmed they are investigating four out of seven mosques mentioned in the report.
But Jewish groups have warned cops are not doing enough to combat alleged hate speech and said it could lead to extremism and even terror.
Steven Silverman, Campaign Against Antisemitism told TalkTV: “There is no difference between the rhetoric in the Hamas charter and the rhetoric that is on display in these videos.
"They are utterly hateful. They are violent and they are a threat, both to Jews and non Jews in this country.
“There is a real risk of more than just one person being encouraged by this rhetoric to go out and take action on the streets, and we’ve seen how bad that can be in the past."
The Charities Commission is also probing some of the footage as the majority of the mosques are also linked to registered charities - meaning they receive taxpayer cash.
They said: "We are aware of a significant number of serious concerns regarding activities linked to some charities…These largely concern allegations of antisemitic or hate speech.
