Stephen Williams MP greets worshipers at a local mosque

"We must not let vandals divide our communities" says Stephen Williams MP.

Stephen Williams MP visited the Shahjalal Jame Mosque in Easton on Friday to show the support of the people of Bristol West, following vandalism in the wake of the London terrorist attacks.

Only days after the London tube bombings yobs smashed a number of windows on the front of the mosque in the dead of night. Stephen Williams greeted worshipers as they left Friday prayers before being shown the damage by Mr Wahab, of the Bristol Bangladeshi Association. He then entered a question and answer session in which he listened to the concerns of some of the mosque users.

Stephen said "It is very important that we don't allow a few drunken thugs to intimidate worshipers or divide our communities. I am pleased to be able to come here on behalf of Bristolians of all religions and non to show a bit of solidarity."
