Attempted Bombing of an Airline and planned march by Islam4UK is condemned
Administrator on January 8th, 2010
The Muslim community of Leeds Makkah Masjid strongly condemns the planned march by Islam4UK through the Wiltshire town of Wootton Bassett.
Islam4UK do not represent British Muslims or the teachings of the Prophet of Islam (may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Actions such as these usually have the intention of raising the profile of a particular organisation rather than expressing the sentiments of a community. As suspected, it is encouraging to see that the planned march by Islam4UK is condemned by all the Muslims thought the UK and Muslims are stating clearly to Islam4UK “NOT IN MY NAME”.
Leeds Muslim Council also strongly condemns the alleged attempted bombing aboard an airliner in Detroit, USA on Christmas Day. Islam holds the sanctity of human life in the highest possible regard. Allah tells us in the Quran that to kill one innocent person is akin to killing the whole of humanity [Qur'an, chapter 4, verse 32].
Imam of Leeds Makkah Mosque, Qari Asim, said : “violent extremism and taking the lives of innocent people is against the teachings of Islam and therefore we are pleased to note that no loss of life or otherwise was suffered as a result of the attempted bombing”.
All forms of terrorism must be stopped and the root causes that lead to such extreme actions must be fully explored and eliminated in the most efficient and amicable manner so that all human beings throughout the world can live in peace and harmony.

Asghar khan Labour candidate for Headingley ward said l’m glad that the march has been cancelled by Islam4UK which had planned to march through Wootton Bassett,Wiltshire. Islam4UK wanted to get maximum publicity Islam4UK does not represent the view of the rest of the law abiding Muslims.

Agree with Asghar Khan – trouble makers mostly harm than benefit anyone.
