Muslim faith leaders have led a peace rally in Birmingham following the Westminster terror attack.
More than 200 people turned out in Victoria Square, holding banners that read "Not in our name - Muslims oppose Isis", in an event organised by Birmingham Central Mosque.
Surrounded by civic and multi-faith religious leaders, Dr Waqar Azmi told the crowd: "For too long, we've had terrorist and extremists in all communities, in Muslim and non-Muslim, who try to define us.
"The figures of far-right extremists do not define the British values that we hold.

"Those people who are Daesh and Isis do not define the values that Muslims would hold.
"We refuse now to allow them to misrepresent us, and refuse now to allow them to define us.
"Because we are defined by a shared value of love thy neighbour."
Henna Rai, founder of Women Against Radicalisation Network (WARN), said: "Like so many others, I felt compelled to come to this important event in Victoria Square.
"What happened in London was an appalling act, carried out by a pathetic individual. It was an indiscriminate attack on innocent people that sought to turn communities against one another.
"By standing together with people of all faiths and none, to reject hatred in all its forms, will we show terrorists and extremists that they can never divide us, they can never break our communities, and they can never win."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
