Endorsing the statement mosque team webWhile Parliament discussed next steps in Syria, Hounslow Friends of Faith and the Mosques and Islamic Centres of Hounslow issued this statement which was endorsed at a multifaith event at Hounslow Jamia Mosque on Saturday 5th December 2015.

JOINT STATEMENT BY HOUNSLOW FRIENDS OF FAITH AND MOSQUES AND ISLAMIC CENTRES OF HOUNSLOW

We are saddened and horrified by the recent atrocities that have taken place in Paris. Our hearts and prayers go out to the victims and their families.  In Hounslow, all the faith groups have been working together for some time to build upon strong bonds and good relations that exist between all the communities.

We reinforce the pledge which we took on 9th June 2015 at the Hounslow Jamia Mosque that ‘We stand together to counter hate and intolerance and for building a stronger and safer Hounslow.’

We will continue to stand together for peace in our community, and reaffirm our commitment to the values of inclusiveness and tolerance against those who seek to create division and fear.
