METROPOLITAN POLICE- THREE CHARGED OVER 7/7 BOMBINGS
Published: 05/04/2007

The Ramadhan
Foundation recognises that the crime of 7/7 was a crime against all
the people of the United Kingdom and as such we should all support
the Police in their attempts to bring those responsible to justice
Following
on from the charging of the 7/7 suspects we would urge the media to
report on this responsibly and also urge the communities in Leeds
and West Yorkshire to pass on any evidence they have to the Police.
It
is deeply irresponsible of the right wing media to whip up hatred
against Muslims in the run up to the Elections in May; this will
only benefit the BNP
and the fascists. The people that have been arrested and
charged should be given a free and fair trial and if found guilty
punished.
The
Ramadhan Foundation recognises that there are a small minority of
people in the Muslim community that are determined to support the
killing of innocent people and we need to confront, engage with
them to ensure they change their ways.
The
Ramadhan Foundation formally urges the Muslim community in Leeds
and West Yorkshire to support the Police in their attempts to bring
the perpetrators of this evil crime to justice. Bringing
these people to justice is an instruction from Islam; these people
do not represent Muslims or Islam.
Mr.
Shazad Anwar, Chief Executive of the Foundation comments:
“I
am urging the communities of Leeds and West Yorkshire to provide
whatever assistance to the police so that the people responsible
for this crime are brought to justice, only then can the nation
move forward.
There
is a debate about the discrimination of the anti terror laws, the
double standards in UK foreign policy, the illegal war in Iraq and
the rise of Islamaphobia but today it is about the 7/7 attacks and
we should focus on this.
We
must do everything in our power to work with the community to bring
those to justice, obeying the law of this land is our Islamic duty.
This
must be done responsibly by the Police, not like Forest Gate and
numerous other arrests”
