Over the years, the MCB has developed comprehensive guidance to help mosques address and mitigate various security risks, including practical advice on enhancing physical security measures and fostering community vigilance. By providing these tools and resources, we aim to ensure that mosques remain safe and welcoming spaces for all worshippers.

Southport protests: More than 100 arrests as disorder spreads
The BBC reports:
Dozens of arrests have been made as disorder following the Southport knife attack spread to different parts of the country.
More than 100 people were arrested in central London on Wednesday evening as officers clashed with protesters on Whitehall during a demonstration.
Unrest also broke out in Hartlepool where eight people were arrested, several officers were injured and a police car was set on fire.
…
Dal Babu, former Chief Superintendent and firearms commander in the Met, has blamed the disorder on the “reckless” spread of misinformation about the identity of the suspect charged in the stabbing.
Speaking on BBC R4’s Today Programme, Mr Babu said the police have taken the “unprecedented” decision to confirm the suspect “was born in this country”.
In London, demonstrators were seen launching flares towards the gates of Downing Street and at a statue of Winston Churchill.
People could be heard chanting phrases such as “stop the boats” and “save our kids” as they threw bottles and cans at officers.
