The Jewish Chronicle (JC)- a staunchly pro-Israeli newspaper - warned this week of the threat MPACUK would pose if funded to carry out campaigns against MPs who support Israel. The JC described MPACUK as "one of Britain’s most powerful Muslim lobby groups" and highlighted our commitment to unseat MPs who have backed Israel during the war on Lebanon. The article titled "Threat to MPs" quotes from an email sent to MPACUK subscribers:
The JC article emphasises that MPACUK are about action not just talk:
Zionists realise that well-funded political activism would give British Muslims a powerful voice. So why are Muslims not putting our money where it could make a real difference? Don't let Israel's supporters off the hook for the destruction of Lebanon - fund MPACUK today. Source: Jewish Chronicle, 18/8/06.

With 60,000 subscribers, if each donated just £1.00 per month, MPACUK would do so much.
Isn't about time we gave some financial support. Remember this is the month of Zakat, so if you are wondering where should I send my zakat. Well brothers and sisters I have worked out my 2.5% of my savings, of which 80% will go to the poor but for the first time 20% will go to MPACUK. There is nothing stopping you from doing the same.

Muslims O Muslims or should I say
Moslems O Moslems Where do I begin? Ok which other Islamic organisation in the UK that is doing what MPAC is attempting to do, to give Muslims a voice? The answer is a resounding NONE. MPACK is fighting your battles on a shoestring less than £800 budget a month. Most of it paid for with their own money, time and dedication. Shame on you so called Muslims What kind of people are you? Take a good look at yourselves! I am sorry to say CHEAP. £1 a week is too much for you and your friends and what is needed for you to give is more than just a pound a week. Your archenemies the Zionist propagandists machines operate on budgets of millions of pounds all from donations. As a result for their support they are exerting pressure and influence where it matters hence, you are called Muslim Fascists, terrorists, dogs, murders, and getting shot in your homes and on the underground (in that case it happened to be a Brazilian who had the misfortune to looked like an Asian), getting thrown out of airplanes, what are you waiting for to be thrown out of your homes and country. Wake Up! From your slumber of indifference and champion these people’s (MPAC) cause because they are championing Muslims every day 24/7

ali - it might not be anywhere near the pro zionist lobby, but mpac have certainly got the pro zionist lobby spooked. from my research and general analysis mpac more than any other national group has them worried because of its reach and its access to the mainstream media .. and because it is simplifying a simple coherent one voice campaign that is effective.
the fact is they targeted the likes of inayat bunglawalla for the same reason that he can act intelligently and can counter the pro zionist lies. mpac really need to get the likes of Respect, and other activist political groups on side in their campaign of targeting those current mp's that are not acting for british people, their constituents but for israeli pro zionists.

It felt good giving money to MPAC. Each pound we spend, removes israeli power. It will not be long now before muslims wield the clout... Israel lobby, your days are numbered.

Salams,
I don't think the Zionist have anything to fear. UK Muslims are more interested in money for their Sishas, Kebabs and makeup.

Civil rights violations, questions of freedom of speech, inter- and intra-Mosque strife and cultural distress...
...and what does MPACUK obsess about and use as its catcall for money? Good ole' Palestine. When you figure out where the attention *really* needs to be focused on Muslim issues in the West, maybe I'll donate some money.

I think we should all contribute towards this just cause.
As far as i'm aware all the other muslim representative groups like the MCB(Muslim Council of Britian), MAB(Muslim Association of Britian) are being funded by the Government. MPACUK is more of a voice for us Muslims in Britian than any other group thats why i'm donating £50. Remember the jewish lobby runs of millions, i hope and pray with our pennies and our sincere dua's we will beat them. insha-allah.

The Muslim lobby is ineffective, unproductive and completely worthless, which is specifically due to Muslims being unable to agree on certain theological points. We are more interested in seeking to outsmart each other and cause unneccesary quarrels over irrelevant topics.
The British Muslim community has no legitimate representative(s) within British parliament. For example, Baroness Uddin is nonsense (not elected by an electorate and represents nobody, has no influence whatsoever- she is being used by Tony Blair), Khalid Mahmood (again, best friend's with Tony Blair), Mohammed Sarwar (Not sure who he represents), Shahid Malik (rubbish), and other Muslim MPs are nonsense............ The Muslim community urgently needs to appoint Muslims who are able to articulate the voice of British's Muslim community. We also need to seek out a person who stands up against injustice, oppression, illegitimate conflicts, human rights abuses, and the list continues to go on etc. To go a step further, I would disagree with MPAC's campaign to unseat MPs based upon one particular policy, but we rather need to seek a better understanding of what particular MPs are doing within their constituencies For example, my previous MP, who happens to be Jewish and was a pro-Israeli MP, provided an enormous service to her Muslim constituents. And, yes, she was unseated at the last election, but this was not as a result of her support for Israel. I certainly did not vote her out based upon one policy. As an MP, she has helped me a great deal, including lobbying on issues which were nearest to my heart.

Dear JOY1,
You appear to be a selfish & ignorant prat: * Have you had your house destroyed? * Have you had your land taken away? * Have your family been murdered? * Has your land been been laid useless by cluster bombs? * Have you been exiled? How can what your MP has ever done for you in anyway balance her support for a murderous & racist state like Israel which is responsible for the killing and oppression of millions of people?

PZ are you a Muslim? If yes read on if not then don't pretend as if you are.
Not Caring About the Affairs of Muslims A person with a sick heart does not react to the needs of Muslims by making supplications, giving charity, or offering assistance. He does not care if his brothers are afflicted by a hardship in any part of the world such as being overwhelmed by the enemy, being persecuted, or being stricken by disasters. It is enough for him that his conditions are good! This is because of his ailing Iman; A believer is the opposite of that as described by the Prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam: "A believer feels pain for the believers, just as the body feels distress over what is troubling the head."

Dear Shirin,
You are not a very good Muslim, if you are a Muslim yourself, to describe another Muslim as a prat, ignorant or selfish. You are welcome to make constructive arguments. My MP has consistently supported victims of ethnic conflicts across the globe. As a Labour MP, she went a step further by raising questions of paramount importance. You are fully aware that the Palestinian population are not the only victims of exile, victimisation and degradation, it is the media that have given a far greater coverage to the Middle East conflict than any other non-Middle Eastern conflict- which is mainly owned by Israeli supporter Rupert Murdoch. Therefore, your arguments have easily been discredited and countered. Furthermore, our Muslim politicians only have a far greater interest in Muslim topics, and you won't really witness them in Parliament when other debates-not related to Muslims or Islamic issues- take place. Therefore, in my view, we urgently need Muslims willing to represent their electorate, Muslim causes and fighting injustice, violation of human rights, and discrimination in every community. How can what your MP has ever done for you in anyway balance her support for a murderous & racist state like Israel which is responsible for the killing and oppression of millions of people? Please put your argument into a wider perspective, we have conflicts all over the world that our media, Muslim population, and wider society have decided to completely ignore. It is regrettable that we live in a very ignorant society. I agree that Israel has committed crimes against humanity by violating the basic rights of Palestinians, but so have China (supporters of Palestinians) whom have massacred thousands of innocent people. China records one of the worst human rights reputations throughout the world. Today, China occupies Tibet, which they drove out an entire population, massacred thousands of peaceful monks, nuns & Tibetans etc. The Chinese PRC is responsible for planning the invasion of Taiwan and neighbouring countries. Furthermore, you should be much more informed about religious freedom in China, which prevents the practice of religions, unless you are registered with the state. If you were witnessed praying or reciting in public, you would immediately be arrested & imprisoned for several years. There are thousands of causes across the globe, which are far more important to me than Palestinians. However, I do care for my fellow Muslims in Palestine, but people are suffering much worse elsewhere, but the media have selectively chosen whom should receive a far greater degree of media coverage.

Dear Joy1,
Your points are well made after all Islam is a Mercy to all peoples. Not withstanding the Tibetan issue how many of those atrocicities have been going on for 50 years and continue to breed hatred on a global scale. The solution is better funded organisations like MPACUK which can hold to account all politicians, and not just Muslim ones. We need good politicians not just Muslim politicians. The question is will you and others be part of the solution and fund groups like MPACUK or are you part of the problem: the cabal of ivory tower Muslims?

Its sad to see some responses which could easily be called Zionist views or of those serving them. To briefly touching on those so called muslims who are actively serving their Zionist masters, you only have to look at USA foreign policy, stating that since 1946 todate they have "manipulated, funded, assisted & created parties in Islamic countries for US benefit and to fight Communism" In MPAC forum some of these agents are slandering others whereas Umma globally has started to realise who the really create rift among muslims.

you treat it like its all israelis fault. that palestines are the only victims. but the truth is it goes both ways. there are murderers on both the israeli and palestinian sides, and there are victims on both sides as well.
The struggle should be to protect the innocent, to help those in need, not just to help those who are a member of yuo're chosen religion, and ignore the suffering of anyone else.

I am certainly part of the solution. The Muslim Council of Britain - whom you may agree or disagree with- have been consistently campaigning towards tackling the discrimination suffered by Muslims, and also working for the common good of the wider society. Additionally, we have been seeking broader understanding between various faith communities by engaging continously with faith organisations across the United Kingdom. As someone involved in the MCB, I would recommend fellow Muslim youth to join and play an active part. Thanks

YOU ARE RIGHT! We should look at the other side of the divide If Palestinians are killing Zionists we should be the first to condemn it. If Palestinians steal a country (any country) with the support of the UN and turn it into a blood bath and declare it their own, we should be the first to condemn it If Palestinians commit war crimes, atrocities, kidnapping and collective punishment (murder) and subjugate a whole population into slavery and confine them into concentration camps, we should be the first to condemn it If Palestinians destroy neighbouring countries and murder their inhabitants with blatant support from Britain and America, we should be the first to condemn it. I can go on and on and on agreeing with you. Thank you Adam, if you wish please feel free to add to this
