[quote]Multifaith Community Stand in the Royal County of Berkshire

Following the London bombings the local borough council organized the above on Monday the 11th July'05 in order to give an opportunity to the public members to bring forth their concerns and clarify misunderstandings.

There were Christian, Muslim, Jew, Bahai, Hindu and Sikh representatives on the stand. Each stand was hosted by religious representatives who also displayed  some informative literature about their faith. One stand was hosted by the members of the Council and the local mayor was present.

The Muslim stand was hosted jointly by Studying Islam UK, Islamic Society of Britain and UK Islamic Mission.

The event took place in a friendly environment on a sunny morning in the heart of the town centre. A refreshment stall was set up by the council. Those effected by the London bombings were remembered in prayers.

It was suggested by the personnel present that more such events should be organized frequently in order to provide opportunities to bring the communities together.
