This Sunday, thousands of British Muslims gathered for a charity peace show dubbed “Muslim Live 8″ with the intention to raise cash for victims of long-running Darfur conflict in Sudan. The performance, starring a popular Islamic singer Sami Yusuf, was backed by the British government spearheading efforts in order to press the government of Sudan to stop violence in the western province. The event that took place at Wembley Arena in London was called A Concert for Peace in Darfur. It was also aimed to promote efforts to unite the community amid widespread suspicion of Islam in the United Kingdom. The profits from the concert will go to Islamic Relief in order to help fund its work in Darfur.
