GLASGOW'S Islamic community have said they are grateful for "messages of support and solidarity" they have received following far-right riots in England. 

Glasgow Central Mosque (GCM) has released a community reassurance statement following speculation online that a far-right hate march was set to take place on George Square on Wednesday, August 7. 

We previously reported Police Scotland said there was "no intelligence" to suggest any such protest would take and urged the public to exercise caution about what they read on social media.

GCM the community was "deeply saddened" to hear of the tragic murders of Bebe King (six), Elsie Dot Stancombe (seven) and Alice Dasilva Aguiar (nine) who were killed on Monday, July 29 in Southport while attending a Taylor Swift themed dance class. 

They also said they were "shocked to witness the riots that ensued, and terror, Islamophobia and racism spread to other parts of England". 

A 17-year-old boy has been charged in connection with the deaths and disorder broke out across England after misinformation spread online that the suspect was an asylum seeker. 

GCM said they have been engaging closely with Police Scotland and have been "grateful for their ongoing support" and reiterated their message that people should be cautious about what they read online and not share "unverified information or unsubstantiated rumours".

"So keep looking out for one another, be vigilant but not alarmed, and call the Police if you feel threatened or see anything suspicious.

"This is Pollokshields. We reject the hate peddlers and will stand united to oppose anyone who tries to divide us, or target our communities."
