Muslim women dressed in headscarves stand hand-in-hand on Westminster Bridge in solidarity with the victims of London terror attack

Muslim women stood hand-in-hand with others on Westminster Bridge in a show of solidarity with the victims of Wednesday's terror attack.

A group of women, who said they were wearing blue as a symbol of hope, stood holding hands for five minutes on Westminster Bridge as Big Ben chimed 4pm.

People from a range of backgrounds joined the event, organised by Women's March On London.

Three members of the public died after Khalid Masood sped along the bridge before storming the parliamentary estate and stabbing PC Keith Palmer to death.




Fariha Khan, 40, a GP from Surbiton, said: 'The feeling of what happened here on Wednesday was really strong.

Plus guys will do whatever to impresses the lady they are sweet on

notice these are "Ahmadiyya Muslims"

that matters

they are not "SHIA" OR "WAHABI" OR "SUNNI"

They are a small "sect" which the other 3 persecute mercilessly given half a chance

their views are often very peaceable and thus out of step with "mainstream Muslims"

" Guff"

Will spew Tommy.
