EDM 697: 40th anniversary of Glasgow Central Mosque

That this House congratulates and celebrates the 40th anniversary of Glasgow's Central Mosque, the first purpose-built mosque in Scotland, which has provided an anchor for the Muslim community; notes that during this time Glasgow has seen changes socially, culturally, and politically, and Central Mosque has served to allow Muslims a place to pray, reflect and come together as a community, allowing safe observation of religion as well as an understanding of the faith and ability to share and learn; and recognises that this anniversary is both a reflection on the enduring sense of belonging for Glasgow Muslims as well as an indication of the multi-faith city in which it has thrived.
