Muslims joined worshippers of all faiths in St Nicholas Cathedral in Newcastle's city centre on Wednesday evening

Muslims joined worshippers of all faiths inside a Newcastle cathedral for an historic event as part of the holy month of Ramadan.

Hundreds gathered at St Nicholas Cathedral on Wednesday evening for an Iftar - the first time a North East Anglican cathedral has hosted such an event.

People from all faiths were welcomed for the “celebration of peace and unity” to mark the breaking of the fast observed by Muslims during Ramadan.

The Bishop of Newcastle, the Right Reverend Christine Hardman, and Acting Dean of Newcastle, the Venerable Geoff Miller, hosted a programme of events and speakers from 7.25pm.

Mrs Hardman outlined her hope the historic occasion would serve to show the “common purposes for peace and unity” across the city’s religious communities.

She added: “It is really important we each retain the distinctiveness of our own faiths.

Wonder if they’d have done a German feast celebrating the bombing of English cities during WW1 and WW2.

Once an Imam blesses the Cathedral, according to the Koran it now belongs to Islam. Not my words, Koran’s words. I guess they wanted to give the cathedral to the Muslims

And when will a mosque celebrate Easter? Or Passover?

Bloody hell! England, you’re as done as a Yorkshire pudding.

The heroic British dead of 1940 are now lashed down in their graves so they can’t spin.

Islamic flag planting with ignorant Europeans seemingly not even aware that they are letting it happen.

I think St. Nicholas would be slapping some heretics.

Well since nobody goes to Anglican services, might as well get some use out of the place.

It is so dreadfully sad. WWII was a waste if the West rolls over for Islam. Hitler would be so jealous.

In Mein Kampf, Hitler admired Islam and said it was a better fit for Germany than Christianity (even though he was an atheist). His evil book is a bestseller in the Middle East from the 1930s to this very day.

He met with the murderous Grand Mufti of Jerusalem in 1941 & in the photo they seem on the verge of holding hands.

An Islamic triumph in Britain will not only have Hitler laughing in Hell, it will have millions of his Muslim hellions laughing and raping their way across the Isles.

Thank God that my Enfield rifles and I are on this side of the pond and not over in Olde Blighty which is about to become even more blighted indeed.

Please share and, if so moved, HELP TOMMY ROBINSON before the FEW members of muslim gangs the British “authorities” have imprisoned with him MURDER HIM! Details in and at the end of the video.
I wonder if NORMAL Brits are upset about all that “unpleasantness” and dead ancestors resisting the Nazis only to watch their new, improved “leaders” INVITE to their land an INVASION force orders of magnitude more sinister.

When the Palestinians had an uprising against Israel in the late 80s, Israel had to worry about Europeans boycotting Israeli fruits and vegetables if they were unhappy with Israel’s response to the uprising. 30 years later, Israel now has much bigger worries regarding Europe... like Europe’s nuclear weapons falling into the hands of Europe’s future Muslim leaders... Like Sadiq Khan. He will be prime minister of England one day and there will be others just like him in France and Germany.
