Statement on the Government’s £10 million funding to Protect Mosques.
A historic moment this week at the first ever Iftar in Westminster Hall in Parliament, organised by @appgbritmuslims.bsky.social Great to have Prime Minister Keir Starmer at The Big Iftar event. And the food was supplied by Suleiman from Spice Village who have a branch in Southall!
From Ambassadors representing Muslim nations across the globe to the exceptional catering by the award-winning Spice Village, and all the wonderful guests—this incredible and historic APPG Big Iftar would not have been possible without you.
#RamadanMubarak
We are hugely grateful to have the Speakers of both Houses host this historic first-ever Iftar in Westminster Hall.
The evening was made even more special with the presence of Adam Azim 🥊 and a beautiful rendition capturing the essence of Ramadan from the world-famous Mesut Kurtis. 🎶
The govt is providing a further £10m to protect mosques and faith centres.
It is welcome - but desperately sad as British Muslims have faced increasing violence and intimidation.
Islamophobia must be robustly challenged, and we need a standard definition of anti-Muslim racism.
We are horrified to learn of the attack at a synagogue in Manchester, especially on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families, and the wider Jewish community who will understandably be feeling deeply concerned during this time.
