Rejecting Terror Monday 02 July 2007

Muslims everywhere consider all acts of terrorism that aims to murder and maim innocent human beings utterly reprehensible and abhorrent. There is no theological basis whatsoever for such acts in our faith. The very meaning of the word 'Islam' is peace. It rejects terror and promotes peace and harmony. The words in the Qur'an are clear: If anyone kills a human being, unless it be (in punishment) for murder, or of spreading corruption in the land, it should be looked upon as though he had slain all mankind, and if anyone saves a life it should be regarded as though he had saved the lives of all mankind.(5:32) MCB Welcomes Prime Minister's Strategy to tackle Terrorism MCB Anti-Terrorism Conference Declaration Statement from the Muslim Council of Britain on Recent Disturbing Events Watch the Press Conference MCB Statement on Terrorist Acts in London and Glasgow Three Faiths Forum and the Muslim Council of Britain of Britain speak out Statement from the Bishop of Leicester Rally: Scotland United Against Terror British Muslim Doctors speak out against Terrorism Police have urged anyone with information to phone the confidential Anti-Terrorism hotline number on 0800 789 321.
