Statement from the UK Inter Faith Network re the terrorist attack on mosques in Christchurch NZ –
The following statement has been produced by the Co-Chairs of the Inter Faith Network for the UK and Moderators of the IFN Faith Communities Forum regarding the horrific terrorist attack on mosques in Christchurch NZ –
| Today’s appalling terrorist attacks on two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, have been responded to here in the UK with prayers, condemnation, and demonstrations of solidarity with the Muslim community, including at the Friday prayer. As we said after the murderous attack on the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh USA last year, attacks on churches, gurdwaras, mosques, temples and other places of worship of different faiths here and around the world are a reminder of the need to condemn extremist violence in the strongest terms and to stand together and to continue to work together with ever greater urgency against ignorance, prejudice and hatred. Hatred targeting any community because of its faith and belief is a scourge that cannot be tolerated. There must be freedom to worship and practise our faith freely and without fear. The Inter Faith Network Co-Chairs and Faith Communities Forum Moderators |

Event Details
The Prophet Muhammad said “Only an honourable man treats women with honour and integrity, and only a vile and dishonorable man humiliates and degrades women.” Being a Muslim is often more than a religious identity. In order to have a deeper understanding of the real role of women in Islam, diverse perspectives on gender and women in Islam, and how Islam personally treats to women, we are holding a seminar with the participation of Dr Chris Hewer on Monday, 18th February 2019 at our community building in Attercliffe, Sheffield. We will have the special opportunity to listen to his insights and thoughts on women in Islam. The event will start at 6.30pm and will consist of two sessions and a refreshment break. We kindly invite anyone who is interested. We also believe that such events give us the opportunity to get together and get to know new people. Therefore, everyone is welcome. The event is free of charge.
Part 1: Dr Chris Hewer’s Speech
Refreshment break
