The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) on 29 May said it has shared its recently-published security guidelines, “Best Practices for Mosque and Community Safety,” with the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) after a number of incidents targeting that nation’s mosques. MCB said the guidelines would help to review its own advisory, circulated to all affiliates immediately after the recent killing of a soldier in London. That attack was strongly condemned by CAIR and by British Muslim organisations.
“We hope CAIR’s new safety guidelines will help community leaders boost security at mosques in the United Kingdom during this time of crisis,” said CAIR National Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper. “While conditions may differ between our two nations, many of CAIR’s safety recommendations may be applied in any situation.”
