Verily, Allâh enjoins Justice and Correctness, and helping kith and kin and forbids lewd acts and all kinds of evil deed and oppression. He admonishes you so that you may take heed. (An-Nahl: 90)

Muslim Community Liaison Unit: Phase 1

Do you feel victimised or prejudiced against because you are Muslim?
Do you feel your voice is not being heard?
Do you want to be involved in representing Muslim concerns?
Do you want to actively participate in helping the Muslim Community locally?

At a recent community conference Luton Muslims unveiled draft proposals for a Muslim Community Liaisons Unit (MCLU)which would liaise with the police, local government, Luton Mosques and other agencies to combat the factors, which lead to hate crimes, unfair arrest and detainment of Muslims.

A portfolio was made available elaborating how the MCLU will be dedicated to eliminating all forms of discrimination and intolerance against Muslims, countering the negative attitudes and prejudices that lead to harassment of local Muslims. Furthermore, the document emphasised the necessity of adopting a trilateral approach with respect to victimisation of the Muslim community covering Prevention, Support and Protection.

Luton Muslims will be hosting a Public Meeting on Sunday 25th April to further practical steps to actualise these proposals.

Time Sunday 25th April 2004, 12:00 – 2:00pm
Venue Centre for Youth and Community Development (CYCD)
94-106 Leagrave Road
Luton
