British mother found guilty of joining ISIS

Mohammed Shafiq speaks out against ISIS

Speaking after a British mother was found guilty of joining ISIS, Mohammed Shafiq, Chief Executive of the Rochdale-based Ramadhan Foundation, said:: "I cannot begin to think why a mother would take her young baby to Syria to live under the barbaric and evil ISIS and put her child under danger.

"The Ramadhan Foundation cannot be clearer, ISIS are not Islamic, they are an affront to our faith and their supporters here in the UK are the enemies of all Muslims.

"We welcome the conviction of Tareena Shakil at Birmingham Crown Court, it sends out a clear message that if you support ISIS and their barbaric cult then you will be found and brought to justice.

"For too long politicians spend their time targeting ordinary Muslims just to score some cheap political points. Defeating terrorism, it's ideology and bring its supporters to justice is what they should be focusing on.

"We in the British Muslim community stand united against terrorism.

"ISIS and their deadly cult are enemies of Islam and our teachings, if you choose to support this cult then we support the authorities attempts to bring you to justice.

"No to terrorism and hatred."
