The Muslim Women’s Council are shocked and deeply saddened by the horrific news of the New Zealand terror attacks.
How can the entire world stand back and watch these horrific terror attacks occur and not collectively condemn what’s going on right now?
This is terrorism, in its ugly, brutal form and it has no place in any religion or community. We call on our government and institutions to protect Muslims against the rise of Islamophobia by strengthening the law against Muslim hate in all its forms, and to counteract these far-right narratives. Our government needs to ensure that we don’t see a replica of this atrocity occur in our places of worship in the UK.
This is a time for faith leaders and communities to come together and change the narrative of hate that is spreading across the world. We stand in solidarity with all those affected.
We call on our fellow Muslims to stay strong in their faith and to stay united.
