Community Support

Supporters of the Noor A Medina mosque are concerned after reports that a demonstration from EDL members was due to take place outside, so the community turned out in force to show their support for a mosque which has become the subject of an English Defence League campaign. Members of the Noor-A-Madina mosque on Waterloo Road were joined by the North West branch of United Against Fascism, the Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre Trade Union Council and Blackpool Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT).[1] [2] [3]
