MEMBERS of one of Britain's oldest Muslim communities will gather at a 210-acre site in East Worldham this weekend to celebrate the Jalsa Salana UK 2012.

Billed as Britain's biggest annual Islamic convention, the three-day gathering at Hadeeqatul Mahdi (Oaklands Farm) will see up to 30,000 Ahmadi Muslims from around the world come together to "re-affirm their pledge to unequivocally reject violence and extremism; to practice Islam purely as a religion of peace, and to restore it to its true origins as a peaceful faith for all people and for all times".

This is the 46th annual convention and the sixth in East Worldham.
