“We are really privileged that our mosque is the venue that [the procession] starts from, and the venue that it ends,” chairperson and trustee of the Easton Jamia Mosque, Abdul Malik said.
“The whole significance of the annual march is to remember the prophet, his life and seek peace across the board for all of humanity.
“Easton Mosque has been based in the community for 40 odd years. Islam has seen some challenging times, I would say, to do with its perception.”
