In this episode of Pathway to Peace we look at the remarkable journey to build the Baitur Raheem Mosque in Cardiff. Initially stalled by intense "staunch opposition" fueled by "propaganda" and false claims linking the community to extremism. The narrative pivots on the courage of former councillor Sue White, who faced "serious backlash" and threats for exposing the "real serious injustice" perpetuated by the opposition. Ultimately, the show culminates with the peaceful inauguration by His Holiness, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, who declared the mosque a "shining beacon of peace, love, and harmony". Dispelling all fear by clarifying the true purpose of the mosque and the mission of the community.
