The following is a statement from the Liverpool Muslim Community and the Abdullah Quilliam Society.
“The attacks once again in Paris are horrific and abhorrent and we condemn this violence in the strongest possible terms.Our thoughts and prayers are for the families of those killed and injured and for the people of France, our neighbours. This attack is being claimed by the group calling themselves ‘Islamic State’. There is nothing Islamic about such people and their actions are evil and outside the boundaries set by our faith.”
