Not so long ago I defended my Mosque claiming it provided everything the Muslim community needs. It provides praying facilities for both men and women, provides Islamic education for children and adults. The Mosque is there in times of celebration and in times of needs.
MPACUK invites you to join us this Saturday 10th May 2008 at the National Demonstration in Trafalgar Square, come along and meet the MPACUK team. To discuss the tragedies that face our Palestinian brothers, and to see what you can be doing for them. Sixty years on from the day when 750, 000 Palestinians were expelled from their homes, in an ethnic cleansing planned well in advance by the Zionist leadership. The Israeli policies of land confiscation, house demolitions, and killings continue to this day.
Palestinians in the West Bank
city of Bethlehem are marking the 60th anniversary of Nakba, the day
Israel was created on the rubble of Palestine, by building a gigantic
iron key memorial.The key symbolizes the right of return
for Palestinian refugees worldwide," Munther Ameera, director of the
Aida Youth Activity Center in Bethlehem, told IslamOnline.net. Ameera, who is behind the key memorial
idea, says the aim is to demonstrate Palestinians' resolve to return to
their homes and pass the torch from one generation to the next. "We want our children to look at this key memorial and think of the day they will return to their motherland."
We have a bad habit in Western secular society of thinking that we
know best. And Western feminism often has an equally bad habit of
thinking that its ideals are the right ideals for women of all cultures. In our society, the veils and scarves worn by Muslim women are
commonly seen as symbols and tools of an oppressive Islamic patriarchy.
This sort of establishment thinking makes feminism inaccessible for
women of different beliefs, which robs the movement of its global
power.
If you are a concerned or curious sort of Muslim and you live in Birmingham, or anywhere near Birmingham, then I would like to tell you some mild but interesting news - so here goes. The MPACUK Birmingham Branch is holding a ‘gathering’ or a meeting to put it more blandly, where the good citizens of Birmingham will discuss the latest news, business, politics and most importantly, the upcoming Al-Nakbah.
This result isn’t just a wonderful victory for Boris and the termination of Livingstone. It’s also a defeat for the campaign – an exceptionally dirty one, at that - waged against Boris by a small band of separatists claiming to act in the name of all London’s Muslims. The effects of Boris’ win will be felt not only in the capital, but nationwide – and they’re worth probing in detail.
