Police attacked with bricks and bottles at mosque protest (From Harrow Times)

Original Comment

Harrovians are a resilient and determined bunch.
We will not allow a disgraceful and misguided lot of young fellows or demonstrators from any party to create ill-will between us.
It has taken years of blood,sweat and tears to make us all feel part and parcel of ONE large family---the community of Harrow.
Harrovians must show a generosity of spirit and rise above the appalling
occurences we witnessed yesterday,outside the Harrow Central mosque and bridge near the Civic Centre.
It is unthinkable that the Police who came to help maintain law and order sustained attacks with bottles,bricks and missiles---totally out of character with our locals.Outsiders tried to hi-jack the show.

Just beggars belief!However sad or ashamed the day's events have made many of us ,who have lived here peacefully and happily,for decades,we stand firmly against all those who seek to divide us.We shall not be beaten by a bunch of hooligans.It is a tough learning curve.

If anything,let us resolve to bond even more closely with all our communities and build stronger ties between the hugely diverse groups that Harrow is so proud of.

Harrovians thank the Met Police,our Council,all community leaders,politicians and citizens alike for their total committment and co-operation.Take heart.
These outsiders do not represent Harrow in any shape or form.Our young Muslims in Harrow need not feel afraid.They are a valuable part of our Harrow,our community.
I am sure,we are mature and sensible enough not to tar every Muslim with the same brush,just because some outsiders came uninvited to our home town and tried,in vain,to turn it topsy-turvy.
Lets get back to work,as usual,and show them the stuff we harrovians are made of.
