30,000 Muslims are gathering in Alton to condemn terrorism.

Its the Annual convention of Ahmadiyya Muslims in the UK - and this year they're focussing on their motto, love for all hatred for none.

Dr Basharat Nazir says they want to set the record straight about Islam: "Islam is not what a few of the terrorists are making you believe.

"Islam is a totally peaceful religion, it allows total freedom of thought, it allows everybody to have their own opinions and it does not allow the use of force."

The 3 day talks start today with a flag raising ceremony and prayers.
