Assalâmu alaykum (Peace be with you) On behalf of the Muslim community of Leicester you are cordially invited to…
7/7 ‘a year on’
…we remember, we reflect.
Highfields Community Centre- Main Hall | Friday 7/7 July 2006 | 7pm – 8:30pm
________________________________________
Abstract/ objectives
A year ago the London terror outrage of July 7 brought home to us that the threat from suicide bombers does not simply come from foreigners in distant conflicts, but from people who live and have grown up amongst us.
A year on we recognise that though a small minority; how and why British-born Muslims would want to blow themselves up is difficult to understand, though understand and tackle we must if we are to prevent these acts in the future.
A year on the Muslim and wider community of Leicester stand united in their disgust at all acts of hate and politically motivated violence.
A year on we hope to address some of the crucial contemporary issues and the challenges facing Muslims in the West by drawing upon an intellectual framework from within a classical Islamic discourse, and thus provides a social, political and cultural observation of the world in which we all live in today.
A year on we ask for more understanding, a more harmonious, multicultural future for Britain that includes Britain’s Muslims which embraces our diversity as a strength, a positive asset rather than a detriment; conducive to this peaceful future we envisage.
A year on we remember…
A year on we reflect.
