The attack, like many others carried out in recent years, was executed by individuals who believe that the Shia, on account of their love and veneration for the family of the prophet Mohammed, are not Muslim and should be killed. Such attacks are the direct result of Saudi-inspired takfiri ideology which continues to sow intolerance, hatred and ultimately violence.

The BBC rejected appeals for it to withdraw its invitation on the basis that the BNP is an illegally constituted organisation.

1. Quilliam does not support indiscriminate ‘mass spying’ on British Muslims nor a ‘police state’. Ordinary Muslims are our first line of defence against Islamist terrorism and our allies against extremists. We condemn any efforts to conduct mass spying operations on innocent Muslims through the Government’s Prevent programme.

To be blessed with the opportunity to fast and reflect over the past tweleve months is a great honour and I urge Muslims to use every opportunities to benefit from this holy month.

It is ironic that on the one hand that the West raises allegations against Islam that it compels and is harsh, whereas on the other hand we have here a so called democratic state meddling and interfering in personal matters of others.

The UNHRC was established on 15th March 2006 with the main purpose of addressing situations of human rights violations and make recommendations on them. There are 49 member countries elected by the UN General Assembly including the UK, Egypt and Pakistan.

There can be no justification for this deeply concerning position and we urge the BBC to reconsider.

From last week child benefit went up to £20 a week. Child tax credit will also increase by £75 in April.

The use of this sort of racism has no justification and I am saddened by those that are advocating using this term is not racist.

I, like you, am shocked and outraged by the violence occurring in the region and the failure by the Governments of the world to react and stem the flow of violence.

Again we are witnessing terror and destruction where many of the victims are women and children.

Locally in Rochdale there has been similar resentment at aggression committed against Gazans with their homes and lives destroyed and even sacred institutions like mosques which have been targeted by the Israeli War machinery.

The events of the last few days have cruelly trampled over this wish, replacing it with a vision of horror and despair, as the Israelis launched the biggest air assault on Gaza since 1967.

The British government must accept that the most effective way to eradicate terrorism is to ensure that we never allow the terrorists to divide us; sadly comments by British politicians sometimes lead to violence towards innocent Muslims in the UK.

Whilst the foreign minister argues that there was no reason for Pakistan to be on the defensive over the attacks, President Zardari goes as far as offering a no first-use of nuclear weapons, ignoring decades of established policy.

We once again reiterate that Islam totally forbids terrorism and we urge the people of India to come together and not allow extremists to divide the nation. Now is the time for unity.

No murder can ever be justified but this murder of a lady who went to Afghanistan in an effort to develop local education and support those with disabilities is particularly callous.

The progressive evidence of the alleged terrorists activities is a proof that the government policy has been a dismal failure at a terrible cost to the rate payers. Millions of pounds have been wasted on protracted surveillance and court actions, without achieving anything other than community resentment and inter community disharmony.

This government has not only lost the vote but lost the argument – the British people can sleep easily tonight to know that freedom and justice has been protected from an authoritarian government.

At the start of Ramadan this year, we urged you to give generously through our international development partner Islamic Relief, we are grateful for your support and charity – many less fortunate people around the world will benefit. Please do not stop giving.

I know that Eid is a special time of year for Muslim communities in Rochdale, the UK and across the world.

Over the past nine years under dictatorship Pakistani people have suffered in terms of poverty, oppression, dictatorship, terrorism and even after Musharraf the poverty and oppression will go on.

Yet, just over 10 years later, little has changed: Muslims are still indiscriminately vilified and marginalized in Britain’s public and political spaces.

He will tell you all that is a part of his new green image for the future of Britain and the world. Mr Cameron will tell us all a lot of things. He is a man of many forthright views, most of these views (he would call them policies) when put to the test fail miserably. 

The speech sets out his personal views on implementing some elements of Sharia law within the UK – on matters relating to family and finance.

There is no evidence that the vacuum left by the Christian faith in this country is being filled by extremists, on the contrary it is being filled by secularists and an obsession with celebrity, fame and money.

THE Ramadhan Foundation urges MPs of all parties to tomorrow to vote against the ever increasing rate of abortions. Sadly over the past few decades’ abortion has become like everyday contraceptive and has lost the value of human life.

We join other faith leaders and their communities in expresses our total opposition to abortion, Islam totally forbids abortion and there is no difference on these issues amongst all major faiths.

Research published in Friday’s BMJ concludes that over a recent 12-year period there was no significant improvement in the survival of babies born before 24 weeks gestation.

Jack Straw visited Castlemere Community Centre. As a life long Labour supporter I am in absolute shock at the red carpet that the Castlemere Community Centre rolled out to Straw.

At a time when the propaganda on Islam is on the rise, and Muslim community is being coerced to assimilate into the dominant culture, it is imperative we look deeply at the issue of community cohesion. This term "community cohesion" seeks to gel the community together on a set of "common values".

Asking children to swear an allegiance to the Queen will not make them more proud of being British or help them understand the values of the UK.

There can be no justification for the continue oppression and discriminate killing that is carried out and we urge the international community to speak against this evil and ensure that the voices of innocent Palestinians are not silenced.

Not only here in the UK but around the world Muslims will celebrate with families and friends and also reflect on the reasons behind this Eid – one of sacrifice. The Ramadhan Foundation is clear that Muslims in the UK contribute a huge deal in all walks of life and this is something that should be celebrated.

In England we’ve seen it double over the past decade and experts have warned that child obesity could bankrupt the NHS.

The man sat next to a young Asian woman in her 30s. What happened next has disgusted me and made me very ashamed to be white and English.

What a fabulous event, organised brilliantly by our Town Centre Management team, including Suzy Woods who did a sterling job.
The glitzy event was warmly welcomed and shows our council is really moving forward. It is clear everyone who attended is excited for the future.

I am referring, of course, to what the Lib Dem council leadership call their ‘adult care modernisation programme’.

Downing Street have tried to spin the withdrawal as 'part of the process of handing over power to the Iraqi government' whereas this is an ignominious defeat for both the army and their political masters.

Many practices have a process to deal with the situation and help these patients use NHS services more appropriately.

As a result, young people will have access to new and improved facilities, especially those in deprived areas, like parts of Rochdale.
