Islamic Welfare Association condemns London murder

Khutbahbank sponsors, The Islamic Welfare Association of West Surrey, utterly condemns the shocking and cowardly murder of Drummer Lee Rigby on the streets of London. To have invoked Allah’s Holy Name, as the murderer has done, is an insult to Islam and deeply offensive to all Muslims. We urge all right thinking Muslims to deplore such actions without reservation. There is no justification for such an act in Islamic scripture nor in the lived example of Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings on him.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the victim’s family. May Allah give Lee Rigby’s loved ones strength and patience at this difficult time.
