BRITISH Prime Minister David Cameron has paid tribute to the Muslim community on the occasion of Eid, which falls this weekend.
In his message, Cameron acknowledged the contribution British Muslims make to the country.
He said: “I want to say a particular thank you to those Muslims who have helped to make the London Olympics so successful. From those who volunteered and gave visitors such a warm welcome to our country. To members of our armed forces who have helped to keep us safe. To our medal winners who have won a place in our nation’s heart.
“Peace and unity are the spirit of Eid and I am proud of the way Britain has demonstrated these values to the world during the Olympics.
“So to Muslims around the world on this very important day of celebration, I wish you all a very happy and peaceful Eid.”
