The impact of this attack is being felt by Muslim communities across the country. This is a time for our country to come together and stand against hatred.

The consequences of the daily demonising, maligning , stereotyping and stigmatising of Muslims- from mainstream politicians to the far right , from sections of the media to extremism on social networks , this poisoning of the political discourse has to stop. Over the last six
This arson attack on a mosque last night is what happens when people blame whole groups for the actions of an extremist. Whoever did this is not only putting innocent people at risk, they are doing exactly what the terrorists want. https://t.co/3f4agiM5fq

We are horrified to learn of the suspected terror attack at a synagogue in Manchester, especially on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families, and the wider Jewish community who will understandably be

When racist riots were engulfing us; in Slough, Christians, Hindus, Jews, Sikhs and others openly declared if anyone tried to attack a local mosque, we’ll stand in solidarity with our Muslim community to protect it. Vital we don’t allow those seeking to divide society succeed.
