On December 5, 2005 The Times reported, "More than 20,000 British Muslims gathered yesterday at a conference in London, the largest meeting of its kind to be held in Europe. Ken Livingstone, Michael Mansfield, QC, and the former Pakistan cricketers Saeed Anwar and Imran Khan were among the speakers promoting 'global peace and unity'. Tariq Suwaidan, a Muslim scholar from Kuwait, echoed many of those who addressed the conference when he insisted that Muslims did not support the terrorists behind the 9/ll attacks in America and the London bombings in July. He said: 'We totally refuse to be looked upon as terrorists and we totally refuse that these people represent us — they don’t.' He said that the terrorists were 'enemies of Islam'. However, he was critical of the dominance of the West and said that Western values were 'hurting the world.'"
