Faiths unite to condemn vandalism at Liverpool mosque

A car window was smashed and the words 'No to ISIS' and 'RIP our dead' were daubed onto the outside of the Bait-ul-Lateef Mosque on Breck Road.

The mosque is run by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.

Worshippers had gathered inside to offer prayers ahead of the Remembrance services.

Mr Irfan Ahmad, the Local President of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community told the Liverpool Echo at the time, “We stand opposed to all forms of hatred and extremism. We are committed to community cohesion, to serving our city and our country, and to law and order.

“Any form of extremism is utterly deplored and rejected by us and we hope the perpetrators, who tried to sow a seed of division amongst Liverpudlians, are brought to justice.

“We remain undaunted in our commitment to serve the local community, and we thank the many people who have rallied round to support us during this time."

I hope they catch whoever is responsible. I hope that they then educate them about the 400,000 Muslim soldiers who fought for Britain in WW1 and the roughly 5,000,000 who did so in WW2.

Ahmadiyya Mosque in #Liverpool vandalised and a car window smashed a few days ago. Shame the perpetrators didn't realise the amount of money the Ahmadiyya community raises each year for the @PoppyLegion pic.twitter.com/33DIouRVun
