MUSLIM groups from Ipswich today condemned the attacks in London.
The Bangladeshi Support Centre, in Tower Street, said they were a law-abiding community who wanted to promote peace.
A spokesman from the centre said: "We are shocked and horrified by the tragic events that took place in London yesterday.
"The Bangladeshi community in Ipswich and Suffolk condemn those who perpetrated the horrific attacks and stand united against those who carried out this inhumane attack on innocent people.
"The Bangladeshi community in Suffolk is a small, peaceful and law-abiding community and we will continue to work together to promote peace, understanding and harmony across the county."
It is thought yesterday's attacks will be talked about at prayers being held at the Ipswich and Suffolk Bangladeshi Muslim Mosque, in Bond Street, Ipswich, at lunchtime today.
National Muslim clerics urged followers of Islam to be calm but vigilant as prayers are led at other mosques across the country today.
Imams will deliver a common message before today's midday prayers, the week's most important prayer session for mosque members, said the Muslim Council of Britain.
A spokeswoman from the council said: "Muslims will be told there is no reason to feel ashamed and that they should go about their normal lives."
