How can a compassionate, peaceful, patient man who dedicated his life to social justice, racial and gender equality, to welfare and human rights ever be avenged through senseless violence..? No prophet of ours has been avenged. But yet again my religion seems to be crudely sprawled across the face of a crime against humanity. The terrorist attack in Paris is sickening and utterly wrong. It is an attack not just on the people of France, but on all of us here in Britain, on our fundamental and personal freedoms. We believe that individual liberty is a light and a gift from God, a higher Islamic purpose for social justice and greater good. Islamic Society of Britain Thoughts and prayers with all those mourning, with the French, the Syrians, the Australians, the Congolese, the Pakistanis, and all those across the world who have fallen victim to injustice.
