MCB Press Conference on Woolwich
British Muslims & Woolwich
From mcb.org.uk: As tensions rise as a result of the barbaric murder in Woolwich on Wednesday, the Muslim Council of Britain convened a meeting with a diverse range of faith leaders to speak out against the attack and to call for calm. Farooq Murad, Secretary general of the MCB said at the meeting: "This action will no doubt heighten tensions on the streets of the United Kingdom. Already, there were reports last night of mosques being attacked in Essex and Kent. And the English Defence League, went to stoke hatred in Woolwich last night. They tell us they say because a British soldier was attacked, but as the pictures show, they ended up attacking the police."

The Muslim Council of Britain has also communicated with its affiliate network and mosques to alert them to the threat of reprisals from the extreme right and convey united sympathy for the victim's family. Mosques have been urged to take positive steps and stretch a hand of friendship to fellow Britons....
