SIR - A year has passed since that traumatic night in which our city of Manchester lost 22 people, hundreds were injured and thousands of lives were changed forever. The Ramadhan Foundation would like to offer our deepest condolences to the families of the victims.
On that night we saw the worse of humanity but also the best of humanity, from the bravery of the emergency services to the taxi drivers who helped concert goers get home safely. 
The Ramadhan Foundation was proud to bring faith leaders from across Greater Manchester together in St Anne’s Square, two days after the attack, to show the world that whatever our background, faith, ethnicity as a city we were united. 
The terrorists did not act in the name of Islam; they distort Islamic teachings to justify their violence and terrorism. Terrorism in Islam is forbidden.
As we reflect on this first anniversary I would ask the British Muslim community to continue to support the police and Intelligence agencies as they protect us from terrorism. We have at times become complacent to the evil of terrorism in some parts of our community. We should confront this evil and not hesitate to call out the actions of these evil people, their supporters and financial backers.
Mohammed Shafiq, Chief Executive of the Ramadhan Foundation, Manchester
