Neither Mr Mahmood or Imam Hadi are associated with the Ferro Street [mosque] development application, which has been lodged by followers of another branch of Islam.

Usman Mahmood, a Lithgow residents who has organised a question and answer session about Islam on Friday, May 19, in Lithgow has requested community groups to refrain from protesting outside the forum.

Instead he has asked the anti-Islam group ‘Stop the mosque’ to attend the event and speak against Islam if they deem it necessary.

“Yesterday I came to know about the two protests on the Facebook page ‘Stop the Mosque, Lithgow’ and ‘Stop the hate Lithgow’ related to my event,” Mr Mahmood said.

“I have messaged both groups to request them to drop the protests and join the Q&A. If they wish I am happy to include them as a speaker against Islam in my program.”

The two groups formed on Facebook after news of a development application being considered by Lithgow City Council to use a house in Lithgow as a place of public worship.

The house at 53 Ferro Street is currently listed online as a place for Muslims to pray in congregation as ‘Al hadid Masjid’ (mosque) and ‘Al Hadid Musallah’ (prayer room).

The anti-Islamic ‘Stop the mosque’ group oppose the new use of the house and ‘Stop the hate’ formed as an anti-racist counter group to, “keep Lithgow caring.”
