WFCOM - Waltham Forest Council of Mosques

Eid Mubarak! I want to extend my warmest wishes to all those celebrating Eid al-Fitr. May your Eid be filled with peace, blessings and hope.

A couple who reside in our borough of Waltham Forest were stuck in Gaza. Over the last couple of months, we have been campaigning continuously and tonight, they have arrived back safely to the UK, Alhamdulillah. Huge thanks to @belmorecllr and all those mentioned below:

We stand in solidarity with @elondonmosque: stand strong, be steadfast & remain patient, we are with you. This is what happens when Islamophobic hate mongers such as @hurryupharry/@habibi_uk constantly demonise our Mosques, they create this environment. #Islamophobia

It’s with great sadness we have to report a hugely concerning letter received today by our affiliate Apex School, see attached letter and statement from Apex. Whilst Islamophobia goes unchecked and ignored in Redbridge we are hugely concerned of serious outcomes for Muslims. 1/1

Was a pleasure having you and your team at our march. It’s a breath of fresh air when journalists and media organisations like yourself disseminate the actual truth rather than false narratives with problematic motives/agendas. Keep up the amazing work!

(2/2) 🚌 Please use public transport, walk or ride to the market 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family friendly environment - We know many who cannot attend the national protests in Central London and wanted a chance to join a local demo. Please bring the whole family;the young and the elderly

A few reminders for the day (1/2): ⏰ Please be on time 🌥️ Wrap up warm and dress appropriately for the weather as forecast predicts a clear but cold day 📿 Prayer Spaces will be available 📣 Bring your LOUD voices 🪧 We encourage homemade placards, banners and flags

🚨 CEASEFIRE IN GAZA 🇵🇸 Response To @MPIainDS (Chingford & Wanstead MP) Dear Waltham Forest Community, We had reached out to IDS to call for a ceasefire, and we subsequently had a response in which he was against a ceasefire and voted against it. 🚨 #NoCeasefireNoVote 🚨

A shout out to the 9/60 councillors in @wfcouncil who have demanded an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, Palestine 🙌 Thank you @CllrAfzalAkram, Tom Connor, Rhiannon Eglin, Keisha Green, @AhsanKhan_wf, Johar Khan, Gerry Lyons, @CllrDhedhi and @JenniferWhilby1 for your support 🤲

@MPACUK You missed a tick so it was 2. But now we have 4. 56 left…
