Its heartrenching to watch the news, the bombardment of defencless men, women and children in palestine, while muslim governments hide their faces in shame and call for failed solutions to an persistent problem.
charity organisations have been on islam channel such as interpal raising funds to aid the wounded, but it might be out of operation if Loyds TSB gets its way and a similar story for Ummah welfare trust, which has been given a 30 day notice by Barclays. One may wonder where is this heading, well giving sadaqh to suffering muslims is a way of maintaing and keeping alive the link with the ummah and if muslim charity organisations are systematically closed down under the pretext of ‘supporting terrorist organisations’ any avenue or link to the ummah will be closed rendering the muslims in the UK, a body of people detached from a wider muslim polity.
This all fits into the agenda to severe the muslims in the UK from the wider ummah through imposing a new identity on the muslims, re-orientating their sense of loyalty and belonging- not only has this been pushed through reports post riots 2001 , such as the Ouseley and Cantle reports (ie introduction of secondary citizenship classes and concept of community cohesion which empahsies loyalty and belonging) but also the PVE empahsises this strongly.
The muslim community needs to be aware of what is happening under their noses in bradford and awaken to challenge those involved, otherwise our ummah will lose an important voice from the shores of the UK.
