A very important date for the Muslims is coming up pretty soon and hopefully you’ve prepared yourselves and got it noted in your diaries. That date is Thursday the 4th of June, and you’d better highlight it, as it is the day of the forthcoming European elections.

 

Now, why on earth would anyone go out and vote in the European elections, I hear you ask. Britain doesn’t play that great a role in Europe does it? Although, as Steven Sakur says on the BBC website, none of the British parties advocate a federal Europe, Britain does make a huge financial contribution to the EU, and we are being influenced more and more by decisions made at the EU.

Right now, we, the British public are paying £65 billion into the European Union and this fee increases annually. That is money that could, and should be spent on improving our healthcare and other public services. If we were to pressure on our MEPs and local MPs, to put our money to good use then that is what would be happening. However, it is the Zionists who are, as usual, ahead of the game. They have been lobbying at the international level to push through their own agenda, and what is at the top of the Zionist agenda? The needs of Israel, of course.

Because we Muslims are not raising our voices, the Zionist lobby has already managed to secure the EU-Israel Trade Agreement. This means that, although it is outside of Europe, the apartheid state is able to import goods into Europe without paying import duty. It uses the money to oppress, murder and ethnically cleanse the Palestinians. By not trying to prevent the political powers from doing this, moreover, we are condoning it and letting the criminal behaviour continue unchecked. So, if you care about the Ummah then all you need to do is take the simple steps of finding out who is in tune with the needs of the Muslims and then voting for them.

No doubt there are some who believe that voting is haram. Let’s see, which is haram, really – getting the Muslim voice heard and respected by the people who have taken charge of running our countries, or shutting up and allowing a group of power-hungry Zionists to set an increasingly oppressive agenda for the entire Ummah? We European Muslims should, in fact, be at the forefront when it comes to political action. Turkey, the nearest Muslim country to the EU is denied EU membership because Muslims don’t speak up about Islamic issues. It is, in fact, primarily the duty of our community leaders within the mosques and ISOCS to educate the Ummah and in the UK this could be as simple as setting up voter registration and providing information on election candidates.

Whether or not this happens, it is your duty as an individual to try and stop oppression in its tracks. Don’t be a bystander any more. British Muslims have watched terror unfold for long enough and insh’Allah we will make it stop. Register to vote and find the best candidate. Then on the 4th of June, take a few minutes out of your day to cast your vote and show that you will not rest until Muslims are once again treated with respect.
