Mosque Leaders Quash Terrorist Fears
The police and members of the Muslim community have been quick to quash fears of terrorist activity among Muslims in Dudley following yesterday's arrests. One of the men arrested, Usman Choudhary, was the son of Dudley Mosque leader Ghulam Choudhary.
| Comes as a surprise, doesn't it? |
Dudley North police commander, chief superintendent Dennis Hodson, said the arrests under anti-terrorism legislation were not linked to those elsewhere in the country but were the result of an on-going local enquiry. He said: "Mr Choudhary and other prominent members of the Muslim community have given their full co-operation and re-affirmed their total abhorrence of terrorist activities."
| "Who? Us? Oh, certainly not, infidel dog..." |
Mr Hodson said he had worked with the Muslim community in Dudley for many years and said the majority were law-abiding. And he said in the current climate he urged residents to work together as this provides the greatest safeguard against people who want to disrupt our way of life. Khurshid Ahmed chairman of Dudley Muslim Association said members of the Muslim community were proud to be Muslims and citizens of the UK. He said: "We reject totally those who support terrorism and will counter it with determination. We assure the community there is no Mosque or individual who supports terrorism either financially or otherwise and if we find anyone who has links to such activities we will bring them to the notice of the relevant authorities." In total three men from Dudley were arrested.
| And none of them, not one of them, is a supporter of terrorism. They're freedumb fighters. And don't forget it. |
