Statement from Harrow Inferfaith regarding terrorist action in Manchester 22.05.2017

This morning we woke up to news of a terrorist attack by a suicide bomber at a pop concert in Manchester Arena, filled with young people, resulting in twenty-two deaths, fifty nine casualties and many still missing.  We are united in our condemnation of this heinous crime and are at one with Manchester  at this difficult time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all victims of this atrocity; the bereaved, injured, those searching for missing people,  members of the emergency and security services and with their dear families. 
As always at such times we acknowledge the support given by police, emergency services, hospitals and members of the general public in tending the injured, comforting the distressed  and seeking evidence and understanding of the cause.

Here in Harrow, all such incidents urge us to redouble our efforts to create peace, respect, understanding and empathy for all people, while being vigilant to the dangers of hate crimes.   We are all engaged in the battle to fight evil with love and understanding.
