Remember, Reflect and Learn
- London Bombings 2005
On 7th July 2005 a series of bomb blasts
rocked London and killed 52 commuters and injured 700
people. In order to heal the open wounds of the attacks,
we propose that 7th July be established as
National Day of Tolerance – a day
of reflection on the dangers of extremism and to promote
tolerance towards the diversity of cultures and faiths
that make up modern Britain..
We need to collect 2 million
signatures to make this day a
reality.

A PETITION TO COMMEMORATE
THE 7TH JULY AS
NATIONAL TOLERANCE DAY
To the Prime Minister, the Rt Hon Gordon Brown MP
Dear Prime Minister
The events of the 7th July will remain in the memory
not only of those affected but of the nation as a
whole.
Tolerance International, UK, a registered charity
whose aims include engaging with and alerting those
vulnerable to extremism in the United Kingdom, is
holding an event entitled "Silent Voices of
Islam, a message of peace and tolerance" on the
7th July next year.
We the undersigned, would like to propose the
establishment in future years of the 7th July as a
National Day of Tolerance, a day on which the nation
as a whole reflects on the dangers of extremism
disguised as religion and seeks to promote tolerance
towards the diversity of cultures and faiths that
characterise modern Britain.
We hope the government will adopt this proposal as a
message of hope for the future, a fitting memorial
to all victims of extremism and as a step to turn
the worst into the best.
