It is important for us, as Muslims, to promote the true message of Islam as increasingly the acts of terror committed by fascists and extremists, cast suspicions on an entire faith community.

Britain's biggest mosque to host event
Britain's biggest mosque is showing its support for Armed Forces Day on Saturday 27 June.
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community’s Baitul Futuh mosque in Morden, Surrey, will host tea and refreshments for participants following the parade tomorrow.
Rafiq Hayat, National President Ahmadiyya Muslim Community UK said:
"Armed Forces Day is celebrated around the country this Saturday.
"Each year at the event in Merton, there is a march from Civic Hall past Baitul Futuh Mosque to the local church, where a service is held. Naseem Bajwa, the Imam of the Mosque, also gives a recital and talk. After the event about 200 participants are hosted for tea and refreshments at the mosque. They include soldiers, police, cadets and local dignitaries.
"We are proud citizens of this country and that is why we are proud to show our support for Armed Forces Day. It is important for us, as Muslims, to promote the true message of Islam as increasingly the acts of terror committed by fascists and extremists, cast suspicions on an entire faith community.
"We as Ahmadi Muslims do what we can in the service of mankind, through our humanity and charity work - these are all intrinsic aspects of our faith and speak louder for what Islam actually is than all the evil extremists do to defile the image of our faith."
