The cost to the Irish government of the bank rescues

2010-11-15T14:26:00.000-08:00

The cost to the Irish government of the bank rescues, NAMA and a large public sector borrowing requirement to fund current and capital spending has led by late 2010 to a per capita external debt of over $535,000. This represents some 1,305% of Ireland's annual GDP, making it the most indebted country in the world! The next most indebted country was the United Kingdom which owed 428.8% of its GDP.

A FORMER chief economist at the IMF has warned that Brian Lenihan must immediately ask the IMF for a bailout or risk bankrupting the Irish state!

In a nutshell to get out of debt you need to get into more debt! A paradox INDEED!

Is it not time to look at a more practical and long term sustainable solution rather than myopic decision making?

Venue: IFI, Dublin Mosque, South Circular Road

Speaker: Shaykh/Dr Haitham al-Haddad (Saudia Arabia & UK)

[SPEAKER BIOGRAPHY BELOW]

............ABOUT THE EVENT..........

"...Knowledge is the discerning proof of what is right and what is wrong, and it is the positive force that will help you surmount the trials of comfort, as well as those of hardships. Knowledge is your most powerful sword against your enemy, and finally, it is your most dignifying raiment in the company of your close companions."
Mu'aadh ibn Jabal, radi' Allaahu 'anhu

Imagine entering Jannah without any accounting. Imagine not having your sins displayed in from of Mankind, not having to explain for anything and being able to enter Jannah without any difficult or humiliation! Do you know how? By perfecting your knowledge of tawheed and worship of Allah. Tawheed is the preoccupation of a Muslim in his life, so he begins his life with it and he ends his life with it. His task in life is to establish Allah's oneness and the call to it.

Take a journey into the detailed study of Allah, our Creator Most High! Learn about His worship, the testimony of faith and what it means for us and how to purify and perfect our tawheed. Learn about the many manifestations of Shirk and how people commit the most heinous crime of associating partners with Allah and how they seek to justify it under false pretexts.

So we ask Allaah to make the statement of Tawheed (Laa ilaaha lila Allaah) our last words in this world and we ask Him to gather the Muslims upon the statement of Tawheed. This is the single most important course that any Muslim will ever attend.

..............SPEAKER BIOGRAPHY.............

Inthe past decade the country has made headlines world wide with several politically inspired murders, a fierce debate on the dangers of Islam,the introduction of one of Europe's strictest immigration and integration policies and, more recently, the rise of the xenophobicFreedom Party, that may end first in the upcoming parliamentary elections. Why this dramatic change? How can it be explained in thelight of major social, cultural and economic transformations in Dutch society and recent and current trends in migration? Could the same thinghappen in other European countries? Han Entzinger, Professor of Migration and Integration Studies at Erasmus University Rotterdam - acity where half the population has a recent immigrant background - will analyse what has been happening in his country and try to findexplanations for it."Please circulate this invitation as widely as possible among your colleagues and students.Looking forward to your joining us for this event,Aoileann Ní MhurchúOn behalf of the MIRC Steering Committee

Invitation to the Irish Launch of Israeli Apartheid: A Beginner's Guide

2010-03-21T13:40:00.000-07:00

by Ben White
Thursday 25th March, 6.45pm,Robert Emmet Theatre, Arts Block, Trinity College DublinIsraeli Apartheid: A Beginner's Guide distills the work of academics and experts into a highly readable text. This is the book to read if you want to understand the root of the conflict and how apartheid applies to the situation in Palestine .In an evening chaired by Senator David Norris, author Ben White will discuss his new book that examines the origins of Israeli Apartheid and how it affects the daily lives of Palestinians. The systematic oppression of Palestinians living under Israeli Apartheid applies to both Palestinians living in Israel and those living in the Occupied Palestinian Territories . The 'matrix of control' includes illegal Israeli colonial settlements, settler-only roads, checkpoints and closure, military bases, no-go zones, water theft, the Wall, East Jerusalem, detention and torture. 'The Crime of Apartheid' 'Inhuman acts committed for the purpose of establishing and maintaining domination by one racial group of persons over any other racial group of persons and systematically oppressing them.' - Article II, International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid, UN General Assembly Resolution 3068, 1973Praise for the book:"This book deals rationally and cogently with a topic that almost always generates considerable heat even just with book titles. The reader may not agree with everything that White asserts but it is a highly commendable effort to throw light on a fraught subject." - Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate"This is a very honest, clear and powerful book bringing us face to face with the reality of what Israel has done and is doing to the Palestinians. It would be convenient to ignore it. It would be convenient to assume Ben has got it wrong - that it's not quite that bad. Sadly it is and we ignore it at everyone's peril." - Garth Hewitt, Canon of St. George's Cathedral, JerusalemAbout the authorBen White is a journalist and writer specialising in Palestine/Israel. He also writes on the broader Middle East , Islam and Christianity, and the 'war on terror'. His articles have appeared in a variety of international publications, including the The Guardian, New Statesman, Electronic Intifada and Christian Science Monitor.

“O you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even though it be against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, be he rich or poor, Allah is a Better Protector to both (than you). So follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest you may avoid justice, and if you distort your witness or refuse to give it, verily, Allah is Ever Well-Acquainted with what you do (Qur’an 4:135).” The Qur’an Chapter 4 The Women Verse 135
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: ”The best of struggle (in the path of Allah) is a speech of truth in the presence of a tyrant ruler.” (Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi)
WHAT IS JUSTICE FOR AAFIA COALITION (JFAC)
www.justiceforaafia.org
Sunday 28 March 2010 is the 7th anniversary of the kidnapping of Aafia Siddiqui and her children. To commemorate this, the Justice for Aafia Coalition (JFAC) has been formed – an umbrella organisation, currently spanning four continents, which aims to unite and direct all individuals and organisations concerned for our sister and working for her release.
We all should be aware of the plight of our sister Aafia Siddiqui who last month was convicted of the attempted murder of US soldiers in Afghanistan whilst in custody. The hidden side of this story is the fact that Aafia had been missing since 2003 and claims that she was kidnapped with her three children by the Pakistani intelligence services, transferred to US custody and held in a series of secret prisons away from her children for five years during which time she was repeatedly raped, tortured and abused. Two of her children remain missing to this day.
Aafia’s trial was also flawed in that there was no evidence of any gun residue from the rifle she is alleged to have shot, no trace of her fingerprints on the rifle, no bullet shells found in the room or bullet holes in the wall. The testimonies of the soldiers conflicted with each other and with their own earlier statements. Despite the prosecution admitting Aafia was not a member of al-Qaeda or linked to any terrorist group, she was for all intents and purposes, tried as such. Her sentencing is on 6 May – she faces spending the rest of her life in an American maximum security prison. Since her conviction, she has been denied access to phone calls, sending or receiving letters, or any visits, in the interests of ‘national security.’

WHAT IS AAFIA SIDDIQUI DAY?
Sunday 28 March 2010 is the 7th anniversary of the kidnapping of Aafia and her children. To commemorate this and to highlight Aafia’s case as symbolic of the brutality of the ‘war on terror’ with the aim of having her repatriated to Pakistan and launching an investigation into the whereabouts of her missing children, the Justice for Aafia Coalition (JFAC – www.justiceforaafia.org) has been formed – an umbrella organisation, currently spanning four continents, which aims to unite and direct all individuals and organisations concerned for our sister and working for her release In an international day of protest, we aim to have events, demonstrations, letter-writing campaigns, khutbahs, etc in towns and cities all over the world in solidarity with Aafia on the one day – 28 March.
WHAT CAN YOU DO??????????????
a) Organise an event (or screening) in your locality; rather than asking us to supply speakers, people could spend one hour reading up on her case thoroughly and presenting it to his community. JFAC will aim to provide you with the necessary information pack to deliver a presentation. If people educate themselves on the case and do the talk themselves, it is more empowering than just having an external speaker come. If you are interested in organising an event or hosting a related documentary screening, please email events@justiceforaafia.org
. All events will be publicised on our website.
b) Attend the Aafia Siddiqui Solidarity March on the 27th March 2010 in front of the USA embassy at 2.30pm.
c) Get 20 people from your community to send a letter to both your local paper and a national paper in the week beginning 22 March. The letters should be short, to the point and mention Aafia Siddiqui Day, the kidnapping and detention, missing children and the event. The individual must collect the letters, buy the postage and envelopes and post the letters. You have 20 days from today to get 19 letters (excluding the one you send yourself).
d) Get 20 people (doesn’t have to be the same 20) to send a letter to Aafia that day, from children in particular. Even though she is currently being denied mail, if the volume is enough, they may just let a few through.
f) An information leaflet, campaign pack and other resources will be shortly available, along with translations of the campaign materials into as many languages as we can. The aim is that anyone in the world can then just print off their particular language and distribute, thereby empowering them and decreasing dependency.
g) Approach your local mosque or Islamic Society to dedicate their khutbah on Friday 26 March to the case of Aafia Siddiqui. A khutbah template is available for download. Can download from here on this link by click here
There are many other projects in development and events are confirmed for UK, USA, Pakistan, Canada, Ireland, and Australia.

My love for thee shall aye endure

2010-02-01T06:03:00.000-08:00

My love for thee shall aye endure
As now, most perfect and most pure;
It brooks no increase, no decline,
Since it's complete, and wholly thine.
I cannot any cause discover,
Except my will, to be thy lover,
And boldly challenge any man
To name another, if he can.
For sure, when any thing we see
Of its own self sole cause to be,
That being, being of that thing,
Lives ever undiminishing

Disease of the Heart and The Cures

2010-01-19T00:21:00.000-08:00

“The heart has been singled out because it is the leader of the body, and through the purification of the leader the subjects become purified, and with his corruption they become corrupted. So if you, Observant of Allaah, wish to cure your heart then it is upon you to be truthful with regards to seeking refuge with Allaah and putting your trust in Him....'' Ibn Hajr Al-Asqalani
The calmness your heart desires has arrived. Cleanse your heart and taste the sweetness of true submission.Are you searching for HAPPINESS, but find yourself looking in the WRONG places?Have you reached the point praying just because you ‘have to’, and not because you absolutely love it? Are you worried that your heart is drifting further and further away from Allah and you feel lost without His Guidance? Do you fear that your actions lack SINCERITY, and are eager to get that sincerity back?Be able to say ‘ALHAMDULILAH’ and truly mean it…Give your heart a much needed ‘health check’. Determine whether or not your heart is ready for the journey to Jannah… The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said;.....Beware, in the body there is a flesh; if it is sound, the whole body is sound, and if it is corrupt, the whole body is corrupt, and behold, it is the heart." [Bukhari & Muslim]COMING TO YOU..."Disease of the Heart and The Cures"WHEN?30TH OF JANUARY 2010SATURDAY10AMWHERE?THEATRE P, ARTS BLOCK, UCD

This seminar will allow you to engage in a dialogue with your heart. It will allow you to uncover the roots of DISOBEDIENCE, and learn about the most important aspect of our religion – the sincerity of our hearts and our connection to Allah.

MPAC.ie campaign

2009-12-29T12:14:00.000-08:00

As salam wa alaikum Brothers and Sisters, I would like to draw your attention to the latest MPAC.ie campaign. The hope is to garner support within the Muslim community to lobby the national broadcaster for greater inclusion. There have been discussions in the past but as yet, Islam and Muslims remain on the fringe of society and largely alienated - RTE could offset this exclusion by following the example of Sweden and other European states which have dedicated shows to cater for their Muslim populations. These are tentative steps on the road to full equality and inclusion, but MPAC.ie believe that the more ordinary Irish people have an opportunity to engage with and understand Muslims and Islam, the better we can all deal with differences and suspicions fueled by media. Disengagement has not helped, people want to know about us, they want to know what we think and silence has benefited no one. It's time for Muslims to participate more actively and it's time for Ireland to understand that we are here to stay. Please take a few moments of your time and write to RTE.

Mujaahid

PS - you might also consider writing to An Post regarding Eid celebratory stamps (if they can print Christmas stamps for Christians, why not Eid stamps for Muslims???).

The Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign

2009-12-20T09:05:00.001-08:00

The Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign has just found out about an event being hosted by the Israeli Embassy this Friday 18th December (see the official invitation pasted below). It appears they have invited many women's rights, migrant and refugee groups to attend in what they call a lecture on "Migrant Women: Sharing the Israeli experience in Migrant absorption". This is a disgusting attempt to peddle soft-Zionism to progressive movements and organisations in Irish society. The reality is of course, very different; Israeli State racism against its own non-Jewish citizens and Palestinians in the occupied territories and the Palestinian Diaspora are well documented facts. In addition, the same Israeli State that is hosting this event regularly abuses Palestinian women's rights - for example, the UN noted in a report in February 2009:
"Palestinian women’s access to adequate prenatal, natal and post-natal medical care remains a matter of serious concern, impairing the fulfilment of the right of everyone to the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health. It should also be noted that Israeli policies on closure may, in certain instances, amount to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment under article 16 of the Convention against Torture. Finally it is reiterated that the issue of pregnant Palestinian women giving birth at Israeli checkpoints must be understood within the context of the broader regime of the Israeli occupation and associated restrictions on movement, impacting as they do on all aspects of life in the occupied territories."
The title of this lecture would almost be laughable were it not so serious an issue. Therefore, the IPSC have called for a protest outside the D4 Berkely Hotel, 146 Pembroke Road, Dublin 4 (map - http://tinyurl.com/ye9bh9l) at 12.30pm on Friday 18th December. We ask you to come along and protest this spurious and entirely hypocritical lecture with us. Please bring Palestinian flags and placards if you have them - the IPSC will also be providing some on the day.Also, if you are a member of any of the groups invited to attend this lecture, we would ask that you use your influence to get your organisation to refuse to attend the event, thank you.

In solidarity,Freda Hughes

Danbar Toys

2009-12-20T08:18:00.000-08:00

Salams all, Danbar Toys, an Israeli company selling remote control toys, are now trading in the Blanchardstown shopping Centre. They are staffed by Israeli's and all products bear the '729' Israeli barcode. This protest is planned for 6.30-7pm on Wednesday 9th December at the Blue Entrance to the Blanchardstown shopping centre (near the cimenas, theatre and Leasureplex). It will not be a loud or obtrusive gathering, but we hope that the impact of the media coverage will raise awareness of Israel's apartheid regime and the BDS campaign.
This protest is organised by the IPSC and we encourage all to participate.
All the best,Wassalam

DAY: Saturday

VENUE: Heuston Lecture Theatre, RCSI Stephen’s Green

TIME : START S AT 10.00 AM

........CLICK HERE, CLICK HERE for video trailer..... ...

Are you a sister who is unfamiliar with the fiqh of menstruation?

Or confused by the different rulings relating to menstruation?

Have so many unanswered questions about this sensitive topic?

In this course, the speaker will talk about the issue that has long been a taboo in parts of the Muslim community even to this day.

About the speaker;

“Shaykh Fraz Farhat is a graduate from the University of Leeds (Faculty of Engineering) and the Islamic University of Madinah (Faculty of Shari’ah). He regularly appears on Islam Channel's programme – Islam QA. He is well known and respected as one of the senior students of knowledge in the UK; Shaykh Fraz is active in the field of Dawah. Shaykh Fraz currently teaches Seerah, Fiqh (Umdah-ul-Fiqh of Ibn Qudamah), Riyadh-as-Saaliheen and Tafsir in his local masjid in London. He is also an instructor of Al-Kauthar Institute & MRDF”

'...Shaykh Fraz Farhat...well known for his piety, humility, zuhd, high moral character, strong personality and ofcourse his love for physics and mathematics!...' Dr. Abu Yusuf (Al-Kauthar Institute & Mercy Mission CEO)

Shyness should not prevent you from seeking knowledge and asking questions.

Aisyah, may Allah be pleased with her, said, “How excellent are the women of the Ansaar, shyness/modesty does not prevent them from understanding the religion"

(Sahih al-Bukhari)

This course will help develop your understanding of the legal Islamic rulings on menstruation as they pertain to many aspects of your daily lives. It will also give you the ability to recognize the issues and to deal with them. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to answer wide variety of common questions such as;

Can I touch the Qur'an during menstruation?

Can I enter the Mosque?

I want to perform the Hajj and I'll use pills to delay my cycle as it's my only opportunity to go. I really can't take the risk of bleeding during Hajj. Is this a right choice?

I've missed two months of fasting due to post natal bleeding. What do I do?

I've just had a coil placed inside, and it has changed my regular cycle of 7 days to 13 days. Is this my new cycle?

I am bleeding but it's not red. Can I consider it as menstruation?

Fiqh of Menstruation - Its importance cannot be more emphasize as mature women spend approximately ¼ of her life in this state!

Followed by Q & A session and, this course is surely a not to be missed one.

Extra session on issues regarding the etiquettes of hijaab, fiqh of taharah & prayer will also be included Insya-Allah.

"There are seven such persons for whom Allah will provide shade from his shade on that day who there will be no other shade except his.
…..A youth who was nurtured in the obedience of Allah…..
(Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim)
Our youth is the most testing time of our lives. We live in a time where we can forget the basic principles of the Islamic religion as we become engulfed into the metropolitan way of life. Not a day goes by without us being faced with a dilemma or a problem that can compromise our values. Even those of us who don’t believe in religion or take it seriously become trapped in an empty monotony know as “modern day living”. Today we are students…Tomorrow we are workers of the world…Some of us will remain followers…Others will become leaders……What we do with our youth marks who we are destined to be in our futures…
Where do you stand??

The BBC was accused last night of letting BNP bigot Nick Griffin 'play the martyr' amid bitter recriminations over his appearance on Question Time.

Senior MPs accused the corporation of whipping up controversy to maximise viewing figures - then crudely stage-managing the programme so he was under attack throughout from the audience and fellow panellists.

They said the attempt to expose his racist views risked backfiring because some voters would feel he had been unfairly treated.

Business Secretary Lord Mandelson admitted the exposure would lead to a short-term bounce for the far-Right party, but predicted that in the long term it will have done them 'no good at all'.

'When the content sinks in I think people will recoil,' he said.

But other senior Labour and Conservative figures said the BBC risked long-term damage by allowing Question Time to be transformed into the 'Nick Griffin Show'.

While Question Time normally ranges across issues of the day, which this week included the postal strike and the economy, all but one of the questions selected focused on the BNP and its policies.

Mr Griffin, one of two BNP candidates elected to the European Parliament earlier this year, faced fierce attacks on race, immigration and the Holocaust.

Viewers heard him brand Islam 'wicked' and smear homosexuals as 'creepy'.

He went on to make inflammatory remarks about the composition of the audience, suggesting London was 'ethnically cleansed' and 'no longer British'.

Labour former Home Secretary David Blunkett said last night: 'The BBC played into Griffin's hands by managing to create a victim out of a perpetrator. Their totally unwarranted blanket coverage on news broadcasts before and after Question Time was blatant self-promotion.

'They made the format so obviously skewed that they have allowed him to play the martyr. It was all about him and the BNP, not about the issues of the day.

'They have achieved his victimhood and that may make people much more open to hearing what he has to say in the future.'

Former shadow home secretary David Davis said: 'The point of democratic discussion is to dissect the weaknesses and stupidities of extremists, not to make them the gift of martyrdom.

'David Dimbleby is old enough and wise enough to have been able to present a properly impartial exposé of Mr Griffin's many inadequacies without having to resort to such crude stage management.'

Labour MP Diane Abbott said Mr Griffin's appearance had given the BNP unnecessary credibility and exposure by 'putting him in the mainstream'.

She warned that many people across the country would have thought he was picked on by the other panellists.

But Labour minister Margaret Hodge, in whose Barking and Dagenham constituency the BNP won 11 council seats in 2006, insisted: 'The BBC gave Nick Griffin the opportunity to show himself up for what he is - flaky, dishonest and bigoted.

'I have been in Barking all day asking people about it, and one or two did say they felt he had been bullied. But overwhelmingly people thought it had exposed him as a bigot.'

Activists on far-Right websites condemned the BNP leader for being 'overawed' and 'flustered'.

One said: 'The public despise indecisiveness as they see it as weakness, and all these quotes from Nick's past make the party look bad.'

The BBC defended the programme, saying viewers would make up their own minds.

A spokesman said: 'It is normal for the programme to reflect topics that are in the news - people would accept that the BNP and Question Time have been prominent topics.'

PUBLIC DEBATE OBAMA’S AFGHAN WAR

2009-07-14T09:06:00.001-07:00

PUBLIC DEBATE OBAMA’S AFGHAN WAR: Should foreign troops withdraw?
Date: Wed 15 July 2009 7pm
Venue: Davenport Hotel, Merrion Square, Dublin
Speakers:
* Robert Faucher (Chargé d'Affaires, US Embassy),
* Jonathan Neale (US Author),
* Sahar Saba (Revolutionary Association of Women of Afghanistan).
Chairman: Deaglán de Bréadún.
Background Information
* Why has Obama declared Afghanistan "the good war?"
* Why are so many Western troops, including Irish military, involved in this war?
* Why is the anti-war movement calling for all troops to be withdrawn?
Afghanistan is descending into a hell-hole of chaos, corruption, crime and death. Estimates
of civilian deaths caused by the 2001 invasion vary from 6,300 to 23,600. In May this year,
U.S. planes dropped 2,000-pound bombs on three mud-brick villages in Western Afghanistan,
killing up to 140 people. Over 1100 coalition soldiers have also been killed.
The effects of the occupation have swelled support for the Taliban. The war is escalating
and has spilled over into neighbouring Pakistan where attacks by US drone planes and the
US backed Pakistani army assault on villages in the Swat Valley has left hundreds dead.
and, Trócaire says that up to two million people have been displaced.
Western forces are rowing ever further in behind the invasion. U.S. troop reinforcements,
some 30,000 soldiers are beginning to arrive in southern Afghanistan. added to the 32,000
already there. The White House also wants to give Pakistan nearly $1.5 billion a year
development aid and $400 million in fresh military assistance.
Europe is deeply involved. ISAF troops (International Security Assistance Force) working
under an expanded NATO command number 61,000 from 42 different countries, including at
least ten officers from Ireland. Since October 2006 This is truly a war waged by western
powers against a small poor country that has the misfortune to have a prized strategic position.
Yet the west’s war is not popular with Afghanis. Opinion polls show Afghan confidence in the U.S.
and the Afghan government plummeting, with now only 32% - down from 68% in 2005 - supporting the
US performance. Yet this is the war that Obama wants to make his own. The stakes are very high but
what is the war all about? Representatives from both the US Embassy (confirmed) and the Irish Dept.
of Foreign Affairs have been invited to debate American and Afghani anti war activists. Come along
and find out about this horrific situation.

Female Genital Cutting

2009-03-22T10:59:00.000-07:00

Female Genital Cutting – Whose Problems, whose Solutions? (March 25, Galway)
The Galway One World Centre is holding a public meeting on the subject of Female Genital Cuttingon March 25th at 7pmin the GOWC, Bridge Mills, Dominick Street, Galway."Female Genital Cutting is seen primarily as a problem of parts of the continent of Africa and less attention is given to the practice being used within Western countries", said Ronan Conway, associate professor at the Department of Epidemiology at the Royal College of Surgeons and speaker for the evening. "However, designer laser vaginoplasty and vaginal rejuvenation are growth areas in plastic surgery within Western countries. How can we judge African societies as being barbaric and not condemn equally the cutting of women in the West solely to fulfil male masturbation fantasies?"Even as female genital cutting dies out in traditional societies, cosmetic genital surgery is a rapidly growing and secretive industry in 'developed' societies. Harmless consumer fad, or a new low point in the long story of exploitation of women?This event was originally scheduled for November 2008. However, due to the phenomenal demand, it has been organised again for March 25th. The talk is free of charge.For more information contact Co-ordinator, Galway One World Centretel 091 530590 / email coordinator@galwayowc.orgwebsite http://www.galwayowc.org/- page published 16 March 2009

Grand Dinner will be able to mark the grand finale of the IAW

2009-02-24T07:48:00.000-08:00

The Islamic Awareness Week (IAW), is an annual event held by Islamic Societies (ISOC) in most universities throughout the world coordinated by their umbrella organisation. In Ireland, it is Federation of Students Islamic Society (FOSIS).
In Dublin this year, 5 ISOCs (Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, Trinity College Dublin, University College Dublin, Dublin College University and Dublin Institute of Technology join together in one IAW and it was held from the 6th until 27th February 2009. The theme chosen- 'We Belong Together' reflects the vision of the organizers to be able to be the forefront force for a unified society particularly in Ireland so that we may all live in peace and harmony despite of our religion, ethnicities and morale.
Among the activities held during IAW are Halal Food Fest, Hijab Fashion Show, Sports League, talks, charity bazaar, Quran recitation, video and photoshop class, competition and others. The IAW has also been a very fertile avenue for Islamic Societies to collect fund in support of the ongoing 'Humanitarian Fund For Gaza.'
For the very first time, this year, the IAW is having a Grand Dinner for its closing ceremony. The theme for this year's Grand Dinner is 'Humanity and Peace', which embodies a powerful message in conveying an understanding of a common ground between Muslims and non-Muslims in our society.
It is hoped that the Grand Dinner will be able to mark the grand finale of the IAW, as well as instilling awareness and to give understanding among members of the society about Islam generally and about muslim students society throughout Ireland specifically. In addition to that, we would like to rejoice in the last day of yet another term for the 48th FOSIS Ireland Committee (which will be having their AGM the next day) and reflect what have been done throughout this term.
So come one, come all, this will be a night to remember!
Proceeds from this dinner will go to Gaza.
Below are the details of this event:
Date: February 27th 2009 (Friday)
Time: 6-9pm

Cost: €8 per person

Complete hijab الحجاب المكتمل

2009-01-26T14:58:00.000-08:00

Complete hijab, besides the given requirements of clothing, also includes the moral conduct, behavior, attitude, and intention of the individual. A person only fulfilling the criteria of hijab of the clothes is observing hijab in a limited sense. Hijab of the clothes should be accompanied by hijab of the eyes, the heart, the thought, and the intention. It also includes the way a person walks, talks, and behaves. Therefore, the hypocritical use of hijab is not a good example of Muslim conduct

Fasting in solidarity with the people of Gaza صم من اجل غزة

2009-01-13T10:18:00.000-08:00

Assalamu Alaikum,

Muslims around the world are fasting in solidarity with the people of Gaza until the offensive ends.

It is expected that the offensive is going to continue for another two or three weeks.

As Muslims, we are responsible and will be accountable for what is happening to Muslims (Palestine, Chechnya, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sudan, etc.) around the globe today.

The least we can do is fast in solidarity.

TWO SIDES - ONE STORY:
GUANTANAMO FROM BOTHS SIDES OF THE WIRE http://www.cageprisoners.com/tourA national tour to mark seven years of unlawful detention, abuse and torture January 11th 2009 - 4th February 2009 03 February 2009 in Belfast. Venue: TBC.SAMI AL HAJ (Ex Guantanamo Detainee and Aljazeera Journalist) CHRISTOPHER ARENDT (Ex-Guantanamo Guard) MOAZZAM BEGG (Ex-Guantanamo Detainee, Spokesman for Cageprisoners) Guantanamo Bay stands as one of the most potent symbols of unlawful detention in the world today. The detention of suspected terrorists as the prison camps has evoked emotion from those seeking its closure and continuance.

Cageprisoners presents Two Sides – One Story, a tour of the UK that brings those on opposite sides of wire at Guantanamo together for the first time.
Chris Arendt, a former guard at the base has agreed to speak about his experiences in detaining suspected terrorists and bring new insights into the way the US administration carried out policies against them. Also for the first time the detained
Al Jazeera journalist Sami El Haj will be speaking with Moazzam Begg as they both reflect on life at the prison on the opposite to Chris.
This unique tour is a historic moment in the continued War on Terror and will be launched on 11th January 2009, exactly seven years after the first transfers to Guantanamo Bay. More details on biography of speakers and events are on http://www.cageprisoners.com/tour.--

Umma Clinic By Raya Ali Kalaldeh

2008-12-16T14:01:00.000-08:00

Salaam Everyone,

I was just reminded by someone of this inspiring video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_p9dU5s3vg

Please forward this to all medical students you know and to Muslimdoctors in Ireland.I believe such a clinic should also be present in Ireland consideringthe current health service in Ireland. I don't believe Muslims have ashortage of medical degrees and knowledge in the Muslim community.Sometimes such projects could be more important than raising funds forbuilding a mosque. You can pray almost anywhere , but you can't getproper health service just anywhere:)Take care.
