UK stabbings: Southport mosque runs prayers as normal after violent clashes

Prayers ran as normal for Southport's Muslim community on Friday, following violent clashes in the U.K. town earlier this week after three children were killed in a knife attack. The violence across England erupted in reaction to false information that spread rapidly on social media — which claimed the suspect in the stabbings was a radical Islamist migrant.

"Love will always prevail. People with hatred, they just can't win, they can't win. Unfortunately, they hate everything around them. And the problem is that they hate themselves. This is how I feel, they hate themselves," Iman and mosque chairman Ibrahim Hussein said.

"It was just through complete terror and horror that you're thinking local communities are being thrown apart, and these people from outside are coming and literally destroying the mosque,” said Muslim Council of Britain secretary-general Zara Mohammed. “The Imam from Southport said he had to barrage and lock himself within the office. They were afraid the door was going to be broken down.”

According to the Muslim Council of Britain, mosques across the country will also be on a heightened state of alertness this weekend, reviewing procedures for fire safety, security camera surveillance and protecting entrances and exits.

[ZenCorvus]

Yup this is what you focus on. Continually make these people out to be victims as if they do absolutely nothing wrong or contribute to nothing wrong

[fubar.]

Just because someone is born in Britain from immigrant families does not make them British, or adopt British culture and values, as most migrants teach there children there own language and cultures before any British one, I know of some families that have been here for 25 years and some still don't speak English, how is that integration.

Zara Mohammed, please don`t call the indigenous English "far-right thugs" when there is righteous anger after the recent atrocities.
There is also underlying anger because for decades a certain demographic pimped out vulnerable under-age girls.

All these people do is pray and fight wherever they are will never change 🇨🇦

[gordonbradley]

Well why wouldn't they carry on as normal ?

"Runs prayers'? You forgot to mention that in Stoke they then gathered outside the mosque in a huge mob waving knives, machetes and baseball bats abd taunting the Police. Who stood by, as usual, and did nothing.

Imams. Talk about two tier policing, these people have two tier truthfulness. We know what these people are about, they're quite blatant about it on the Internet.
