Never again, there will Never be another Rwanda. This was the promise of the international community  in 1994. Few years down the line the Darfur genocide, an ongoing armed conflict in western Sudan is dire. The conflict has raged between the Janjaweed, a militia group recruited from local Baggara tribes, and the non-Baggara peoples of the region.  It began in February 2003 after a rebel group began attacking government targets, stating that the region was being neglected by Khartoum.

Israeli troops destroyed five foreign exchange depots and a bank in the West Bank early Wednesday, making off with hundreds of thousands of dollars the army said was earmarked for terrorism.  The troops entered Nablus and Jenin overnight, pulling Jenin money changers from their homes and forcing them to open their businesses, two Jenin money changers said. The army confiscated hundreds of thousands of dollars, although the exact amount was not immediately known.
 

Although Iran and Israel are bitter enemies, few know that Iran is home to the largest number of Jews anywhere in the Middle East outside Israel. About 25,000 Jews live in Iran and most are determined to remain no matter what the pressures - as proud of their Iranian culture as of their Jewish roots..."Anti-Semitism is not an eastern phenomenon, it's not an Islamic or Iranian phenomenon - anti-Semitism is a European phenomenon," he (a Jewish doctor) says, arguing that Jews in Iran even in their worst days never suffered as much as they did in Europe."

One wonders what goes through the mind of one who protests about Pope Bendict's false accusation that Islam as a religion taught violence, by killing a local Nun.  MPACUK and Muslims everywhere have looked upon this act in the same disgust as Christians have.

T&G general secretary Tony Woodley pointed to the findings of a new ICM poll which found 95 per cent think Labour should do more to act on the concerns of working people.

The foundation degree in Muslim Youth Work offers a professionally endorsed training programme (subject to validation and professional endorsement) that integrates the accepted values and criteria of youth work practice together with Muslim faith and practice. It is designed to give Muslims access to Higher Education, in an area of work that is greatly needed, and to equip Muslim youth workers to work in both Muslim communities and secular agencies in order to contribute to greater understanding amongst communities and religions, especially amongst young people. This is the first programme of its kind – professional youth work that integrates reflection on Muslim faith and practice.

This Saturday both Jews and Muslims begin the holiest of days on their calendars. For the Jews it is the start of Rosh Hashanah, the New Year. For the Muslims it is the start of the Holy Month of Ramadan. In both cases, the Holidays start a period of self examination, study and freeing oneself of animosities towards others. A time when the hopes of peace are put into prayer.

We would like to apologise to all the Warmongers, Anti-Ceasefire camp, pro-war camp, anti-Islam camp, anti-Muslim camp, Zionists, Israel Supporters, terrorists, extremists, fascists, right-wingers, Neo-Cons, Tony Blair, well pretty much everyone who doesn't believe in the existence of the British Israel Lobby for exposing you for hijacking our countries foreign policy, which promotes hatred/war/injustice and who can forget the rejection of the ceasefire in Lebanon. Still don't believe in the Israel Lobby, well open your eyes and be ready to be shocked (no, not by Israel's carpet bombing). p.s before someone throws the accusation of anti-semitism of the logo of LDFI, MPACUK didn't do a photoshop job, but we got it from their website.
