(Jewish News) The Islamic movement buying Wembley United Synagogue has “apologised profusely” after its fundraising flyers sought help to purchase “a place of worship of non-believers.”
Dawat-e-Islami, a global Sunni Muslim group founded in Pakistan, caused a wave of upset across social media sites including Facebook’s “Friends of Wembley Shul” in recent days. The synagogue received a written apology on Wednesday morning.
In an email sent to Wembley Synagogue chair Charles Vitez from Dawat-e-Islami’s head of London region, a copy of which has been seen by Jewish News, Hasan Ali Safdar said: “I am writing to apologise for the hurt caused by our leaflet this week.”
