Muslims are facing increased discrimination in day-to-day life, at the hands of the media and, most ominously, from government policy. Muslim women in particular are under attack from David Cameron. His recent comments about their ‘traditional submissiveness’ demonstrate that he is willing to further alienate the Muslim community in order to pander to his friends in the British press and the right more generally.

Meanwhile, the Prevent programme in schools, colleges and universities is coming under increasing attack for demonising and even criminalising Muslim students. Islamophobia has been exacerbated by war. By attacking Syria, Britain entered its fourth war in a Muslim country this century, increasing anger internationally and further poisoning the atmosphere at home.

Please join us at Bloomsbury Baptist Church on 10th March as we call for an end to this mindless cycle of violence and say ‘stop scapegoating Muslims’.
