UK: MCB Annual General Meeting to Elect New Leadership
The Muslim Council of Britain is to hold its 13th Annual General Meeting this Sunday 20 June 2010 at the London Muslim Centre, Whitechapel, London. Delegates representing the range of Muslim civil society — mosques, ulama bodies, and professional associations — are assembling from across Britain, including Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland to elect a new Central Working Committee, and also office-bearers for the 2010-2012 term.
The occasion will mark the conclusion of Dr Muhammad Abdul Bari’s tenure as Secretary General, having served the maximum of two terms permitted by the MCB’s Constitution. He has been an unassuming, dedicated and tireless worker for the interests of Muslims in Britain, and the MCB will continue to value his wise counsel.
The AGM will also include a panel discussion on ‘How Should Muslims Engage in the New Politics’ chaired by radio producer Hasan Patel and conclude with an evening reception attended by interfaith leaders, Muslim MPs and diplomats and other MCB well-wishers.

Netherlands:Conductor Banned From Wearing Crucifix Necklace
An Amsterdam appeal court has ruled that the Amsterdam public transport service is within its rights to ban its conductors from visibly wearing a necklace bearing a crucifix.
The verdict backs an earlier ruling at the end of last year. Egyptian-born tram conductor Ezzaz Aziz appealed against the decision after the transport service suspended him for refusing to take off or conceal his necklace during working hours.
Mr Aziz objected to the fact that he was forbidden to wear his religious symbol, while Muslim women were allowed to wear headscarves. Mr Aziz claimed he was a victim of discrimination because headscarves are also an expression of religious belief.
“The judge didn’t consider the equal treatment of two religions within one company — only whether the company rules applied. But that wasn’t my intention. In the company we have two religions, and one religion is allowed to do what it likes and the other isn’t allowed to do anything. That’s why I appealed against the ruling.”
Dress code
The court ruled that the public transport service wasn’t guilty of discrimination because the rule wasn’t against wearing religious symbols, but simply against visibly wearing necklaces. For security reasons the service’s dress code bans employees from wearing any necklace outside the uniform.
The dress code allows the wearing of headscarves, as long as they bear the company logo. And the transport service points out that if Mr Aziz wants to express his religious belief, he’s welcome to wear a ring or an earring with a crucifix.
Nevertheless, Mr Aziz says he’s disappointed in Dutch justice. As a member of the Coptic Church, in Egypt he was barely able to express his religion. He expected things to be different in the Netherlands.
“The Netherlands is a democratic country. I think it’s nonsense that you can express one religion but not another. I feel a fire burning inside me because I don’t live in a democratic country, but in a third world country.”
Mr Aziz now plans to try and win support for his case in parliament. Meanwhile he’s opting to wear his crucifix under his sweater, because he doesn’t expect he would be able to find another job. “I’m an old man. I’m 57, I don’t know what else I could do.”

UK: Communities Come Together to Promote Interfaith Understanding Through Education
The Muslim Council of Britain’s “Books for Schools” project will be launched in Bristol at the Andalusia Academy, Old School Building, St. Matthias Park, St. Phillips, Bristol BS2 0BA at 4pm on Tuesday 8th June 2010. Following a national launch in 2004 and several other regional launches, this initiative aims to deliver Islamic resources to primary schools in Bristol, promoting a better understanding of Islam alongside other world religions.
Muslim Aid, one of the UK’s largest Muslim international relief and development charities, has sponsored 100 mini packs for primary schools in Bristol as part of its UK Development Programme.
Muslim Aid Chairman, Sir Iqbal Sacranie said “One of the key purposes of the National Framework for Religious Education is to increase public understanding and confidence in the way Religious Education is delivered in schools. This is a great opportunity for government and community bodies to join together to discuss how this can most effectively be implemented. Promoting understanding is essential in broadening our appreciation of different faiths.”
Ms Katy Staples, Schools Adviser, Diocese of Bristol said: “The importance of Religious Education being taught in schools is well recognised, being seen as a tool for developing appreciation & respect between different sections of our society. We are grateful that these new teaching resources will allow children to learn more about Islam, increasing their understanding in an ever changing world.”
Dr Ghassan Nounu of Bristol Islamic Schools Trust added: “I very much welcome this joint initiative in Bristol schools. There is a great deal of ignorance about major faiths, resulting in dangerous and destructive myths. The use of the new materials will help develop understanding and encourage community cohesion throughout Bristol.”
Dr Muhammad Abdul Bari, Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain, said: “We believe education is the key to creating a vibrant and considerate society. These resources, developed by our team of educationalists, aim to overcome the barriers to the teaching of Islam experienced by so many of our teachers, by making available creative, engaging and child-friendly resources on Islam and Muslims. We want to ensure that every school child has access to high quality Islamic resources through their schools.”

Charles, Prince of Piffle
By Christopher Hitchens
This is what you get when you found a political system on the family values of Henry VIII. At a point in the not-too-remote future, the stout heart of Queen Elizabeth II will cease to beat. At that precise moment, her firstborn son will become head of state, head of the armed forces, and head of the Church of England. In strict constitutional terms, this ought not to matter much. The English monarchy, as has been said, reigns but does not rule. From the aesthetic point of view it will matter a bit, because the prospect of a morose bat-eared and chinless man, prematurely aged, and with the most abysmal taste in royal consorts, is a distinctly lowering one. And a king does have the ability to alter the atmosphere and to affect the ways in which important matters are discussed. (The queen herself proved that in subtle ways, by letting it be known that there were aspects of Margaret Thatcher’s foreign policy that she did not view with unmixed delight.)
So the speech made by Prince Charles at Oxford last week might bear a little scrutiny. Discussing one of his favorite topics, the “environment,” he announced that the main problem arose from a “deep, inner crisis of the soul” and that the “de-souling” of humanity probably went back as far as Galileo. In his view, materialism and consumerism represented an imbalance, “where mechanistic thinking is so predominant,” and which “goes back at least to Galileo’s assertion that there is nothing in nature but quantity and motion.” He described the scientific worldview as an affront to all the world’s “sacred traditions.” Then for the climax:
“As a result, Nature has been completely objectified—She has become an it—and we are persuaded to concentrate on the material aspect of reality that fits within Galileo’s scheme.”
We have known for a long time that Prince Charles’ empty sails are so rigged as to be swelled by any passing waft or breeze of crankiness and cant. He fell for the fake anthropologist Laurens van der Post. He was bowled over by the charms of homeopathic medicine. He has been believably reported as saying that plants do better if you talk to them in a soothing and encouraging way. But this latest departure promotes him from an advocate of harmless nonsense to positively sinister nonsense.
We owe a huge debt to Galileo for emancipating us all from the stupid belief in an Earth-centered or man-centered (let alone God-centered) system. He quite literally taught us our place and allowed us to go on to make extraordinary advances in knowledge. None of these liberating undertakings have required any sort of assumption about a soul. That belief is at best optional.. (Incidentally, nature is no more or less “objectified” whether we give it a gender name or a neuter one. Merely calling it Mummy will not, alas, alter this salient fact.)

In the controversy that followed the prince’s remarks, his most staunch defender was Professor John Taylor, a scholar whose work I had last noticed when he gave good reviews to the psychokinetic (or whatever) capacities of the Israeli conjuror and fraud Uri Geller. The heir to the throne seems to possess the ability to surround himself—perhaps by some mysterious ultramagnetic force?—with every moon-faced spoon-bender, shrub-flatterer, and water-diviner within range.
None of this might matter very much, until you notice the venue at which Charles delivered his farrago of nonsense. It was unleashed upon an audience at the Center for Islamic Studies at Oxford University, an institution of which he is the patron. Nor is this his only foray into Islamophilia. Together with the Saudi royal family, he supported the mosque in North London that acted as host and incubator to Richard “Shoe Bomber” Reid, the hook-handed Abu Hamza al-Masri, and several other unsavory customers. The prince’s official job description as king will be “defender of the faith,” which currently means the state-financed absurdity of the Anglican Church, but he has more than once said publicly that he wants to be anointed as defender of all faiths—another indication of the amazing conceit he has developed in six decades of performing the only job allowed him by the hereditary principle: that of waiting for his mother to expire.
A hereditary head of state, as Thomas Paine so crisply phrased it, is as absurd a proposition as a hereditary physician or a hereditary astronomer. To this innate absurdity, Prince Charles manages to bring fatuities that are entirely his own. And, as he paged his way through his dreary wad of babble, there must have been some wolfish smiles among his Muslim audience. I quote from a recent document published by the Islamic Forum of Europe, a group dedicated to the restoration of the Islamic Caliphate and the imposition of sharia, which has been very active in London mosques and in the infiltration of local political parties. “The primary work” in the establishment of a future Muslim empire, it announces, “is in Europe, because it is this continent, despite all the furore about its achievements, which has a moral and spiritual vacuum.”
So this is where all the vapid talk about the “soul” of the universe is actually headed. Once the hard-won principles of reason and science have been discredited, the world will not pass into the hands of credulous herbivores who keep crystals by their sides and swoon over the poems of Khalil Gibran. The “vacuum” will be invaded instead by determined fundamentalists of every stripe who already know the truth by means of revelation and who actually seek real and serious power in the here and now. One thinks of the painstaking, cloud-dispelling labor of British scientists from Isaac Newton to Joseph Priestley to Charles Darwin to Ernest Rutherford to Alan Turing and Francis Crick, much of it built upon the shoulders of Galileo and Copernicus, only to see it casually slandered by a moral and intellectual weakling from the usurping House of Hanover. An awful embarrassment awaits the British if they do not declare for a republic based on verifiable laws and principles, both political and scientific.
“is in Europe, because it is this continent, despite all the furore about its achievements, which has a moral and spiritual vacuum.”
islamic bullshit makes vomit!
Pastorius,
If this is an attempt to promote Islam in public schools, like it sounds, and they try it here in the States, than we should sue any public school that actually tries to implement this. The Separation of Church and State is was never meant to apply only to Christianity, and seeing as how there are a lot of Muslims out there that would love noting more than to replace the constitution with Sharia we can't give them an Inch.
Ray Boyd,
I hope that you are correct, about it not happening due to budget cuts.
@Damien
This stuff dates back to 2005. If the Muslim council want to provide info packs to Muslim schools fair enough.
Like the US the UK schools cover all the religions. The kids are not impressed - my grandchildren were not. They would have to cut out all religious stuff they cannot just cut out Muslim crap.
Ray Boyd,
Sorry, I was under the impression that the schools were considering devoting a large amount of time to this.
Ray,
I see what you mean, but it seems to me Islam simply should not be given the same status as other religions. It is pestilent. It is a totalitarian religio-politcal ideology. Giving it the same treatment is like giving Nazism the same treatment as Democracy.
Ray Boyd doesn't know what's going on:
schools that want girls to try the hijab for a day
catholic school that takes girls to a mosque and demands that they wear hijab
etc....
@Anonymous
of course I know what's going on!!!!
"catholic school that takes girls to a mosque and demands that they wear hijab"
One incident in the media. Parents object, catholic school learns error of it's ways.
The media is doing right by highlighting these incidents. Parents refuse to allow their children to visit a mosque, children refuse to comply. Schools get protests. End of.
Because our media is NOT afraid of this muslim shit they print it.
We become aware and it's stamped on. You jump on it, don't read it properly, ignore the positive outcome AND say the UK is an Islamic cesspool etc.
This sort of shit is going on in the US but you don't hear about it.

SOROS SAID HE HAS NEVER BEEN SO RICH!
Jehova's Witnesses are a nasty bunch what with their mind control, dis-fellowship, breaking up families, fraudulent re-write of the bible etc and they ARE a cult. They don't kill people though.
Jehova's witnesses DON'T HAVE SHARIA. Jehova's witnesses AREN'T imposing a world caliphate trough every means of jihad (trough the womb too).
Jehova's witnesses don't roule over 50+ countries and counting!
Jehova's witnesses didn't commit a genocide of 270 millions of people.
Jehova's witnesses don't follow a murderer, pedophile as the ideal human.
I could go on...

the recent topic about the veil, a burkaed woman being photographed.
here's for you:
“O Prophet! Tell your wives and daughters and the believing women to draw their cloaks over their bodies. That will be better so that they will be known so as not to be molested. And Allâh is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.” (Qur’ân 33:59)
SEE, if «YOU» DON'T WEAR THE potato sack, «YOU»'RE GONNA BE MOLESTED! that's islam!
islam is a cult.
christianity = monotheism
judaism = monotheism
islam = monotheism + jihad
Do not kill unjustly: Nor take life - which Allah has made sacred - except for just cause. And if anyone is slain wrongfully, we have given his heir authority (to demand qisas or to forgive): but let him not exceed bounds in the matter of taking life; for he is helped (by the Law). (17:33)
«don't kill unjustly» BUT FOR ISLAM KAFFIRS ARE NEVER INNOCENT.
islam is a cult.
Geez, man, jeovah's witnesses are so annoying... TELL THAT TO THE PEOPLE WHO WERE KILLED by f*cking jihadists IN NEW YORK, IN LONDON, IN MADRID, IN KASHMIR, ETC! TELL THAT TO COPTS, TO TIMOR PEOPLE, TO CHRISTIAN LEBANESE, TO DARFUR PEOPLE, TO BALKANS PEOPLE! TELL THAT TO FORT HILL VICTIMS! ETC.

Foreign-born residents to set up “Immigrant Parliament”
print this
Immigrants in Finland will soon be entitled to choose 50 representatives for a planned “Immigrant Parliament of Finland”. The first elections for the body will coincide with next year’s elections of the Finnish Parliament.
Founders of the Immigrant Parliament say that the planned body will be the first in the world. It has no official status in Finland, but organisers hope that it could influence public opinion.
The aim of the body is to give a voice to immigrants in the Finnish immigration debate.
The father of the idea, Alexis Kouros, sees the parliament as a politically and religiously independent body.
“So far, the debate has been a monologue of the dominant population. The Parliament will turn it into a dialogue. It is harder to bypass its opinion than that of an individual immigrant”, Kouros explains.
Those eligible to vote in the election of the Immigrant Parliament will be foreigners who have lived in Finland for at least two years, foreign-born Finnish citizens, and the adult children of immigrants.
Candidates for the body must also meet the same requirements.
If each group of immigrants were to vote for their own citizens, the largest national groups in the body would be the Russians and the Estonians. Other large groups include Somalis, Chinese, Iraqis, Thai, and Germans, numbering between 5,000 and 7,000 each.
Those behind the project believe, however, that matters other than ethnic background will affect how people vote.
“We don’t want the Immigrant Parliament to be a place where people only talk about female circumcision. The same things are important to us that are important to others, but we have new points of view”, says Professor Jeremy Gould, one of the founders of the idea.
The aim is not to set up a parallel system to the Finnish Parliament. The goal is to make it easier for immigrants to adapt to Finnish society.
“Immigrants are frustrated. The Parliament eases this frustration by offering a way to affect their own position”, Kouros says.
