Amjid Mahmood, a member of the Calderdale Council of Mosques, said: “The meeting is about people from different faiths and backgrounds across Calderdale showing unity and solidarity.
“We are all totally shocked and appalled by the attacks that unfolded, our prayers are with the families that have lost loved ones and who have been injured in this dreadful attack.
“There is no such place in any religion that allows individuals to perpetuate such actions in taking lives of innocent people enjoying their freedom with families and friends.”
