Muslims march from the Central Mosque
|
More than 400 Moslems marched through Luton on Sunday to condemn terrorism.
They carried banners which included the messages: "Muslims disapprove of terrorism" and "Islam is a religion of peace and harmony."
At the end of last month police raided six homes in the town as part of a nationwide anti-terror operation.
Akbar Dad Khan, of Building Bridges, said the event was organised to show the vast majority of Muslims "condemn extremism, violence and terrorism".
"We also want to show that Luton is not a hot bed of militants as some media reports suggest," he said.
