Peace message in Nottingham
Young muslims are spreading a message of peace in Nottingham by handing out roses to members of the public.
Muslim peace event in Nottingham
1000 roses will be handed out in Nottingham city-centre today as part of an event called 'Flowers for Peace'.
It has been organised by The KQZ Institute, a group of young Muslims and volunteers who have got together after the death of soldier Lee Rigby in Woolwich last month.
The following message will be attached to the roses:
"If anyone killed a person, it would be as if he killed all mankind, and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind."
Organisers say they will hope it will send a clear message that young Muslims in Nottingham strongly condemn murder.
