• AS faith leaders in Camden, our hearts go out to the victims, survivors and their families of the terrorist attacks against mosques in New Zealand.

We condemn utterly the hatred that underpins this sort of heinous and evil violence. We note with sadness that these attacks took place in the context of widespread and growing levels of Islamophobia.

We call on politicians, the media and others to take every care to make sure that their words and deeds never legitimise hatred against Muslim communities and build cohesion and respect between different communities.

In Camden, we stand together.
