David Cameron mentions Dhaka terror attack in Eid message

British Prime Minister David Cameron has sent his “very best wishes” to Muslims celebrating the Eid-ul-Fitr around the world.

He said he had observed the “very best of British values – of unity, of tolerance, of thinking of others before ourselves” for the occasion through putting on special brunches for the lonely, giving presents out at children’s hospitals, and holding street parties bringing communities together .
 
“We need those values more than ever before. Because we live in troubling times,” he said in a message.
 
Cameron also remembered the terror attacks during the holy month of Ramadan. “This last month alone, we’ve seen hatred take hold; from an airport in Istanbul to a nightclub in Orlando to a café in Dhaka and this week’s horrendous attack in Baghdad.”
 
“And we’ve seen it closer to home, too. Too many victims have suffered abuse and intolerance on our streets and one woman – an inspirational MP, Jo Cox – lost her life as she served her constituents,” he said.
 
“As we come together this Eid – friends, families, neighbours, colleagues – I want us to restate our commitment to the values we share, to all the things that make Britain the most successful multi-ethnic, multi-faith democracy on earth,” he said, wishing all ‘Eid Mubarak’.
