Stratford Street Mosque (officially the Omar Mosque or Masjid-e-Umar) is a mosque in Beeston, Leeds, England.

Three people suspected of being responsible for the 7 July 2005 London bombing - Shehzad Tanweer, Mohammad Sidique Khan and Hasib Hussain - were regulars at Friday prayers at the mosque. The mosque is close to the home of Tanweer, who it is thought caused the Aldgate explosion. Stratford Street mosque is just a two streets away from his Colwyn Road home [1].

Mumir Shah, the imam of the mosque, condemned the London bombings at Friday prayers a day after the attacks, telling worshippers "that all human beings are brothers because of our grandfather, Adam (reported elsewhere as Abraham)" and that the message of Islam is one of "peace and friendship."[2] [3]
