| “Last night, we witnessed – once again – horror inflicted on our streets. This is the third time in as many months. They are truly shocking and we condemn them in the strongest terms,” said its secretary-general, Harun Khan. | |
| He said the UK needed to “stand together, and for our part, in particular, we can work harder to help our young people relate to this country and the faith which has the tools to make them modern citizens”. | He said the UK needed to “stand together, and for our part, in particular, we can work harder to help our young people relate to this country and the faith which has the tools to make them modern citizens”. |
| While he condemned the attack, Khan said it was not for the Muslim community as a whole to apologise for it, because only the attackers were responsible for their actions. | |
| “It is my duty as a Muslim – and for every Muslim – to stand up and condemn a wrongful deed ... It is a duty of every Muslim to speak out against this kind of injustice. So, I am not apologising for what they have done and nobody should have to apologise for them because they made a choice to do something. But, what I can do as a citizen and as a Muslim is condemn their actions.” | |
