We have always been a pleasant and tolerant community here, and people went out to show it. You should only look at Furness General Hospital with staff from all over the world – it is important that everyone has an area of worship.
‘The center will also be an entity for community use, and I think it is really important that people understand it and accept that we are all human beings, we all have a right and space to pray.’
Paul Jenkins, up to stand up and unite against fascism, said: ‘We were standing in the solidarity of the South Lakes Islamic Center and we opposed a protest against the Islamic Center.
