UKIP Leader Nigel Farage took part in the Ghousia Mosque open day in Armley,
Leeds on Sunday. The open day was put on as part of an ecumenical service by
local faith groups, and was used to promote peaceful co-existence between
communities following the murder of Drummer Lee Rigby in Woolwich. Prominent at
the event was a book about a Muslim legal proscription against
terrorism.Mr Farage spoke about the importance of Commonwealth links and why it is beneficial to have a strict immigration policy. Imam Hafiz Mohd Zeeshan pointed out that those who engage in violence have no place in the community or in religion and he paid tribute to Private Rigby. The event was organised by local UKIP member Mujeeb Bhutto to highlight the continuing contribution made by Asian servicemen and women.
