London’s Muslims are shocked as our city has been the victim of what appears to be a co-ordinated terrorist attack.

Home to an estimated 1 million Muslims any disruption of logistical, economic and human activity affects all the communities in London including the Muslim community.

All indications appear to point to what seems to be a terrorist attack, MPACUK expresses deepest sympathy with all the families of those affected and commends the emergency services for their fast response to the attacks.

The perpetrators of this horrific crime need to be caught and brought to justice, but no matter who is responsible for this attack British Muslims and MPACUK do not have any sympathy for those who continue to use violent methods to raise very important issues.

MPACUK urges all mosques around the country to be aware of a sharp rise in Islamophobia following the attack. London Mosques should immediately inform their congregations to take due care and to give blood at the earliest possible opportunity.

Mosque media teams around the country need to start brainstorming ideas to counter a rise in Islamophobia, and Mosque leaders should start condemning the attacks and calling for a rethink in the root cause of these horrific incidents that affect our country.

The British government and present politicians seriously need to consider how the effects of their dangerous foreign policy are putting at risk lives of innocent Britons at home. British citizens have been at the forefront of raising these issues with the current government and we hope the government keeps these in mind as we all go through what will be a very difficult time for our country.

All Muslims and non-Muslims alike are urged to donate blood as soon as possible. Hundreds of our fellow Britons are lying injured, trapped underground in London. The Blood Transfusion Service will be running short of blood today and we must all find time to visit our local hospital and make a donation of blood.
