This is a long overdue measure but nevertheless is a welcome first step.

As Muslims it is our duty to condemn the killings and our duty to ensure that those on the fringe do not shame our community by justifying the killing of innocent people.

Rather than starting a new inferno in Iraq, our energies would have been better spent in extinguishing the existing fire in Palestine.

The Muslim community should not be treated as a problematic community, but treated as a community that is willing to play its role in the mainstream.

It has to be a fully comprehensive public inquiry that will provide us the information we need as to what actually happened, how it happened and why it happened so that we will be better prepared to prevent such tragedy happening again.

This is a very important ruling on the issue of personal freedoms. Many other schools have willingly accommodated Muslim schoolgirls wearing the jilbab,

The U.S. can now simply order that British citizens can be plucked from our streets and into U.S. jails by making serious and wholly unproven allegations against them.

Our democratic values need to be upheld, not undermined.

We are sure that British Muslims will be generous in sending aid to the affected regions, especially in this holy month of Ramadan.

Those that believe and choose to wear the jilbab and consider it to be part of their faith's requirement for modest attire should be respected. Today's judgment is a clear reflection of that common-sense view.
