British Muslims are literally paying to condemn Isis. So everyone can stop going on about it now

Hundreds of British Muslims have taken out an advert in the national press to highlight their "united condemnation" of terrorism after the attacks in Paris.

The advert, which was issued by the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) and endorsed by more than 300 of the body's affiliates, reiterated that militant extremists do not represent the Islamic faith and urged the world's communities to stand together in this time of unease.

Dr Shuja Shafi, the secretary general of the MCB, said:

The advert aims to highlight how Muslims everywhere have consistently and without reservation spoken out against terror. It is important that our fellow Britons hear this message loudly and clearly.
