EXTREMIST clerics from Pakistan have been back to Oldham to speak at a 'counter terrorism' conference.
Muhammad Naqib ur Rehman and Hassan Haseeb ur Rehman were part of a group of faith leaders who spoke at The Werneth Suite Conference Centre, in Oldham, last month. They are on another tour across the UK and Europe which ends on August 27.
The aim of the conference, organised by the Ramadhan Foundation, was to "bring communities together and address terrorism".
However, the Pakistani clerics have led a high-profile campaign in their country in praise of Mumtaz Qadri, who was executed in January, 2016, after murdering Pakistani politician Salman Taseer in 2011 for opposing Pakistan's strict blasphemy laws. Qadri had claimed it was his religious duty to kill the Punjab governor.
