In the wake of the recent riots and unrest, Christians Together in Fareham issued a statement which has been posted on their website and sent to the Muslim community who worship at the Al-Mahdi Centre on Fontley Road, our MP and the media. 

In the wake of the shocking attack on young people in Southport last week, and the violence that has followed in several towns and cities, Christians Together in Fareham want to express our love, prayers and solidarity with all the victims. As people of prayer, we continue to pray for those who have been injured and bereaved; as people of the truth, we reject all attempts to make dishonest political capital out of the suffering of the Southport victims; as people of justice, we condemn the scapegoating of asylum seekers, Muslims, people of colour, and others who bear no responsibility for what happened. We commit ourselves afresh to standing against hatred and violence in every form, and doing all we can to build safe, caring and strong communities.
