More than 500 imams across Britain have protested against Prime Minister David Cameron’s plans for gay marriage to be legalised in the country.
In joint letter to The Sunday Telegraph, the imams quote the Quran and say they are fulfilling a ‘sacred trust to God’ by airing their views and accuse the UK government of attacking ‘the cornerstone of family life’.
‘The Muslim community will take this issue very, very seriously because now the Government has interfered with family. To us that is like taking children away from their mother: it will definitely have an effect on Mr Cameron’s vote. ‘We cannot understand how it was possible that this was introduced so fast,’ they added.
