HRH celebrates the 25th anniversary of Islamic Relief
17th December 2009
The Prince of Wales has praised the "energy, dynamism and selflessness" of British Muslims.
In a speech, The Prince told last night's 25th anniversary dinner of the charity Islamic Relief, in the Grosvenor House Hotel in central London, that they helped bring together people of different faiths.
The Prince said: "Islamic Relief’s fine achievements bear witness to the energy, dynamism and selflessness of our British Muslim community.
"We hear rather too much misleading information about a small minority of your community and not nearly enough about the vastly more numerous acts of compassion and commitment which characterize the work of Islamic Relief and its supporters.
"That, Ladies and Gentlemen, is why I was so happy and proud to come here this evening, to celebrate these achievements with you."
