Mr.
Mohammed Shafiq, Chief Executive of the Ramadhan Foundation comments:
“The
Prime Minister’s speech this afternoon provided a mixed response for the
Muslim community in the UK, we recognise and accept that the threat from
terrorism is real and present and therefore offer whatever support we
can to the Police and Intelligence Agencies.
In
terms of additional measures taken by the Government we express caution
that they must be based on strong intelligence and the right of appeal
through the UK Justice system.
This
Government must also recognise and accept that their authoritarian
approach to National Security has failed to protect the country from
terrorism and has led to difficult times for our diverse communities.
We urge
all communities to come together in unity to defeat this threat of
terrorism”
END
