Change of Leadership
Following the 2003 raid the mosque was reclaimed by mainstream Muslims, including representatives of the Muslim Association of Britain, who installed a new board of trustees and imam. The mosque now offers courses open to the general public, and weekly attendance has tripled. It is open for public visits, awareness weeks, community open days and it aims to promote Islam as a religion of tolerance and co-operation.

Famous quotes containing the words change and/or leadership:
“News reports don’t change the world. Only facts change it, and those have already happened when we get the news.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
“The liberal wing of the feminist movement may have improved the lives of its middle- and upper-class constituency—indeed, 1992 was the Year of the White Middle Class Woman—but since the leadership of this faction of the feminist movement has singled out black men as the meta-enemy of women, these women represent one of the most serious threats to black male well-being since the Klan.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
