Terror Attack in Finsbury Park on 19 June 2017
As peaceful worshippers readied themselves after tarawih (Night Prayers) for their suhoor (pre-dawn meal) during this month of Ramadan, they fell victim to a terrible terrorist attack last night outside Finsbury Park Mosque.
Whoever did this, they are plain and simply terrorists and should be treated as all terrorists, with condemnation and they must face full force of the law. These times are challenging and difficult but we pray that God protects all peaceful people in these difficult times.
Our thoughts & prayers are with the victims and their families. We especially commend the emergency services who responded quickly and those members of the public who helped apprehend the perpetrator of this crime.
Please look after yourselves, your friends, families, colleagues and neighbours and remain vigilant. We won’t let the terrorists win, and we will continue to go about our daily business.
