???? MESSAGE FOR MOSQUES REGARDING MANCHESTER AIRPORT – REMINDER FOR JUMMAH: ????

British Muslim communities are deeply saddened and outraged by the appalling actions of the police officer at Manchester Airport a few days ago. However, we must not fall into the trap of those who wish to demonise Muslim communities and sow division and hatred.

The officer in question has been suspended, and the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) is investigating this incident thoroughly. Let the law take its course.

We are aware of discussions taking place between police and community groups. Let these continue to ensure this matter is dealt with appropriately.

This is a time for calm and for justice to follow its course. The family affected by this incident have called for calm, and we hope their appeal is heeded. The best way to help is to respect their wishes and follow the law. We urge everyone to refrain from any actions or campaigns that may go against the law.
