Welcome to the first ever Brighton & Hove Muslim Forum!

This exciting forum which is made up of community
representatives, the mosques and the Brighton & Sussex
University Islamic Societies and the Sussex Muslim

Muslim community in Brighton & Hove.

This unity coalition of Muslims in Brighton & Hove will
grow to be a leader in enhancing and enriching the
lives of others and we will continue to contribute to
our communities and concentrate on developing the good
work many of our Muslim citizens do in our city
everyday.

Action against war & Muslim burial ground film

Last Saturday protesters against the war met in Brighton town centre dressed in black to visit Defence Minister Ivor Caplin's surgery. The event was organised by Sussex Action for Peace who say Caplin had insistently repeated that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction as an argument for going to war, and dismisses local protesters as 'peace yobs'.

Also on Saturday, Brighton Museum and Art Gallery showed a short film about Muslim soldiers in World War I that were wounded and treated in Brighton Hospitals. A special burial ground has been built for these soldiers in Woking.
