'Our hearts were broken as well.’
Adam Kelwick hugged a protestor outside of his mosque in Liverpool As riots from far-right groups continue to spread across the UK, a photo of an imam in Liverpool hugging a protestor has gone viral. Adam Kelwick, 41, an iman at Abdullah Quilliam Mosque, Liverpool’s oldest mosque, was met with a group of 50 far-right sympathising demonstrators yesterday evening.
Adam told Metro: ‘That was reassuring to see, because there was a lot of concern in the community – and a lot of fear as well. A lot of people had been messaging each other and saying to stay at home and not leave their homes. ‘So to see the turnout of the people who came to actually support the mosque, that was powerful. But this is Liverpool – it’s quite a unique place and this is what happens.’ https://www.instagram.
