NORTH-EAST Muslims have condemned the murder of a British soldier by two apparent extremists, saying the crime had tarnished Islam.
One of the attackers in Woolwich allegedly told witnesses that the killing of 25-year-old Lee Rigby was in response to British soldiers killing Muslim people in Afghanistan.
But Wadood Ahmad Daud, a Hartlepool youth leader with the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association North-East (AMYA), said the attackers had damaged the religion they claimed to support.
Mr Daud said he not been able to sleep because he was so upset at the attack, adding: “I'm just as appalled as anyone else in this country and my heart goes out to the family of the soldier involved in this.
“They're betraying their own religion and their actions are against the teachings of Islam - they have further tarnished the beautiful image of Islam.
“They are doing a disservice to their own religion by terrorising other people - they will get nothing out of it.”
He said: “They should not be allowed to hijack the name of Islam and should not be allowed to be ambassadors of Islam."
