Bus posters promote positive image of Islam

AT least 10 Muslim families in Hounslow are in shock and mourning after losing loved ones in the deadly attacks on Mosques in Pakistan.

Members of the Middlesex Ahmadiyya Muslim Community have lost brothers and other close relatives and friends in the attack in Lahore on May 28, which killed more than 95 people.

Mr A. Latif Khan, president of the Middlesex Region, Ahmadiyya Muslim Association said: "The community is still in shock but refuses to be provoked.

"We are a peaceful community. We have been persecuted for decades but have always responded with non-violence, steadfastness and prayer. We expect the Pakistan government to treat this matter seriously and ensure that the terrorists responsible for this outrage are bought to justice."

The attacks are suspected to be the actions of the religious supremacist Taliban organisation, which used a combination of grenades, guns and suicide bomb vests to attack worshippers during the Friday Muslim prayers.
