A mosque hosted a talk to demonstrate that ISIS does not represent the Muslim community.

Harrow Central Mosque, in partnership with the Muslim Youth Circle, hosted an evening of talks to condemn ISIS and speak about the core values of the faith.

ISIS: Not In My Name was held to explain that the activities of the terrorist group do not represent mainstream orthodox Islam, and included Islamic scholars who delivered a series of talks on the issue.

Mohammed Rahman, trustee of Harrow Central Mosque, said: “We are very proud to have hosted this landmark event and particularly delighted by the reception it has received from the wider non-Muslim community.

“We want there to be no doubt that we absolutely condemn the actions of ISIS and are committed to providing our children with a sound Islamic education so they truly understand the message of peace and unity that underpins Islam.”

Gareth Thomas, Labour MP for Harrow West, added: "Well done Harrow Central Mosque for organising the anti-ISIS event and encouraging anti-radicalisation action in our local community."
