Ahmadiyya Muslim Community

Debate between Siobhain McDonagh and Henry Smith

Thursday 24th May 2018 Commons Chamber

[Siobhain McDonagh]

Their desire to help the wider community and not only themselves marks Ahmadis in a particular way, in all our communities.

[Henry Smith (Crawley) (Con)]

I congratulate the hon. Lady on securing this important and timely debate. I should be grateful if Crawley could be added to the tour on which we are to be taken. In 2014, the Noor mosque was opened in the Langley Green neighbourhood. As Members will know, “Noor” is Arabic for “light”, and the Ahmadis certainly bring light to the local community with their charitable work and community cohesion. I am very grateful for their message of “Love for all, hatred for none”.

[Siobhain McDonagh]

I completely agree with the hon. Gentleman.
