From HOPE : Religious Head of
the Ahmadiyya Anjuman Isha'at-i

Our condolences go out to the
family of our departed brother.
Pakistan
100 Years on
As usual the annual prayer
meeting of the worldwide Ah-
madiyya Anjumans Ishaat Islam
was organised by our Centre at
Lahore. These prayer meetings
are organised not for self-
aggrandisement or some political
purpose. They are solely devoted
to prayer and supplication and
improving the knowledge of the
participants so that they are bet-
ter equipped to defend the reli-
gion of Islam, which was the
original purpose of these gather-
ings.
Over the days speeches of
high quality were delivered by the
Ahmadiyya Anjuman Isha‘at Islam Lahore (UK) 15 Stanley Avenue, Wembley, UK, HA0 4JQ

Speakers: Yahya Saqib and Faizaan Ahmad
Date: Sunday, 4th January, 2015

California), Trinidad, the UK, Aus-
tralia and Indonesia attended the
proceedings and took part in them.
A new and notable feature was
the direct delivery of speeches by
overseas members such as Mr
Mudassar Aziz from Berlin. Alt-
hough the speaker misses the at-
mosphere of the meetings it is a
great morale boaster for our own
members present at Dar us Salaam
(Lahore).
Hazrat Ameer’s appeal for do-
nations led to contributions of al-
most 10 million Pakistani Rupees.
May Allah bless all those who do-
nated so generously and reward
participants. The speakers included from
the very young to old.
The proceedings started with the Fajr
prayers after which an enlightening expo-
sition of the Holy Quran was delivered.
After the dars members dispersed for
breakfast. The main proceeding started at
09:00 with recitation of the Holy Quran
and recitation of the religious poetry by
the Promised Messiah. Arrangements had
been made for simultaneous translation
into English of the Urdu speeches for the
benefit of our overseas members.

Sad Killings in France
President of the UK branch sent
the following response to a website
in the US when it was felt that
Muslims were being needlessly
apologetic over the killings. It was
a crime by some terrorists and we
are saddened by the loss of life and
sympathise with those left behind
but Islam does not teach Muslims
to behave in this manner. Rather
rush into denouncing Islam and
Muslims people need to sit down
and look at why some Muslims
behave in this manner. These are
not people who have gone to
madrassas in Pakistan but mostly
born in the West and educated
here. Muslims too need to look at
what they are being taught in the
name of Islam and check to see
whether this represents the true
teachings or there is some political
agenda underlying.
Dear Mike assalamu alaikum
We've all got carried away by this
perceived attack on 'freedom of
expression'. But let us look at facts
and ask: So where is the freedom of
expression?:-
France has banned hijab and anyone
wearing hijab cannot get a job with
the French government.
France has a criminal offence which
Ayaz Aziz
is denying the Holocaust took
place. This is true of most EU
countries. Even EU has a law which
says this.
Switzerland has banned the build-
ing of anything that looks like a
mosque.
Charlie Hedbo's editor, who is now
a martyr, sacked one of his col-
umnists for writing this sentence:
“Our young lad, he will go far”
because it was felt this was insult-
ing to the Jews. All the columnist
was doing was poking funs at Presi-
dent Sarkozi's son who had become
engaged to a Jewess-heiress to a
large fortune. When the columnist
refused to apologise he was sacked.
For years I’ve tried in the US to get
air-time, space etc. for advertise-
ments saying Israel is a terrorist
state but I've been unsuccessful.
My son offered the New York
Times $100,000 to run an adver-
tisement for a week with this head-
ing and quoting facts but was re-
fused.
It appears to me that the so called
freedom of expression is there only
to insult Islam, Muslims and the
Holy Prophet Muhammad (s).
Has France ever apologised for the
murder of tens of thousands of
Muslims in Algeria or the Buddhists
in Vietnam?
Oh and am I going to be allowed to
print a cartoon poking fun at the
Holocaust? if not,
why not?
Let us stand with our heads held
high - we have nothing to apologise
for. It is the Western Governments
who need to apologise for giving
money to get votes to organisations
which support terrorism, for sell-
ing arms and armaments to coun-
tries that suppress freedom and for
making Muslims feel like second
class citizens.

From: "Moazam [email protected] [WorldMuslimCongress]"
Well said!
'fazlur rehman faridi' [email protected] [WorldMuslimCongress]
Salam
Well said Shahid, indeed. And trust me you are not alone and Muslims and unbiased journalists, column-ists, statesmen are getting tired of too! No, we should not parrot what west and its hypocrite leaders parrot. Nor should we apologize. Next time someone asks Muslims to condemn, let us turn the tables on those bigots and ask them to apologize for their own skeletons. And the apology should be public.

Khalid
