LRCND Statement on Finsbury Park Mosque Terror Attack

London CND was shocked to learn of the despicable terror attack on Finsbury Park Mosque which has left one person dead and a number injured. We wish to express our sincere condolences to their families and friends, and to all those for whom the Mosque is both a community centre and place of worship.

We appreciate past opportunities we have had to work the Finsbury Park Mosque to promote peace and understanding, and look forward to doing so again in future.

We condemn the rising number of attacks on Muslim communities across Britain and stand together with our sisters and brothers in opposing the growth of Islamophobia.
