Hundreds gathered outside Finsbury Park Mosque on Friday evening (4 Dec) to show solidarity with the local Muslim community following an attempted arson attack on the mosque. Labour Party Leader Jeremy Corbyn whose constituency covers Finsbury Park Mosque said; “if that attack is designed to divide our community between one faith and another, one ethnic group and another, or one people and another, it has failed, it will always fail because we are very proud of our multicultural community here in Finsbury Park.”
There were speeches from the leaders of the different faith communities in the borough as well from Catherine West MP, local Councillors, Joint Secretaries of Stand Up to Racism and UAF Sabby Dhalu and Weyman Bennett and more. Watch some the speeches here
