Bradford Faith Leaders Stand Together

Bradford Faith Leaders Stand Together in Response to Attacks on London

As religious leaders in Bradford, we pray for the victims and the grieving families of those caught up in this unspeakable horror. Such an atrocity impacts indiscriminately on people of diverse faiths and none, adults and children alike. We salute the courage, compassion and selfless labours of the emergency services, whose humanity shines out amidst such a dark, pitiless and unforgiving act of cruelty.

We have been heartened by the way in which all sections of our Bradford community have constructively sought to channel their natural sense of outrage into positive acts of solidarity with the vulnerable and the fearful. Once again we take comfort from the characteristic good sense of Bradfordians and their refusal to concede to terrorists a posthumous victory of sowing fear and hatred between communities.
