ROME, ITALY


As we stand on the threshold of welcoming in a New Year and saying farewell to the old one, it is a time for reflection, hope, and curiosity over what the future will deliver in 2024.
Whatever it holds we at the European Muslim League hope the spirit of peace, which has come to define the beautiful religion of Islam, will continue to shine a light on our shared pursuit of justice and human rights in our troubled world.
Whilst the focus on our planet centred on climate change and environmental issues in 2023 all our concerns were overshadowed by the dark, turbulence unfolding in the Middle East on October 7.
Palestinian Muslims and Christians, especially those in Gaza, continue to stand resolute in the face of unimaginable hardships during the so-called Festive season.
EML extends our solidarity and grief with Pope Francis while we continue our unwavering commitment to defending human rights and the resilience of our efforts for peace. 
Dr Yvonne Ridley, EML Secretary-General, said: "Together both the Christian and Muslim worlds should unite and see 2024 
as an opportunity to extend our tireless interfaith efforts with our Jewish cousins and peoples of other faiths and none.
EML President Dr Alfredo Maiolese  called upon the league's peace ambassadors to reaffirm their commitment to the cause of peace and to amplify all efforts in the pursuit of "global justice, peace, and unity."
Dr Maiolese added: "From St Peter's Square in Rome, Pope Francis made a commitment on Christmas Day to opposing all war, to cherish human life, feed the hungry, and give voice to the voiceless. His values are also shared by ours.
"The road ahead may be challenging, but by working together, our solidarity and perseverance will continue to serve as the keystone that will lock and cement our friendship. 
"Let us seize the opportunities that await us in the coming year to make  realise our shared goals."

LATIN AMERICA ANNOUNCEMENT

The European Muslim League receive this announcement and herewith as follows: 

To: H.E. MINISTERS OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS

THE ISLAMIC ORGANIZATION FOR LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN URGENTLY REQUESTS THE UNITED NATIONS AND THE GOVERNMENTS OF LATIN AMERICA, THE CARIBBEAN AND THE WHOLE WORLD TO ACTIVELY INTERVENE TO ACHIEVE AN IMMEDIATE CEASE FIRE AND PREVENT THE CONTINUED COMMITTION OF GENOCIDE AGAINST THE PALESTINIAN POPULATION IN THE GAZA STRIP DUE TO THE ATTACKS OF THE ZIONIST ENEMY OF ISRAEL
The World Health Organization (WHO) has called for an “immediate humanitarian ceasefire” to allow the passage of fuel and health supplies to Gaza. “Unless vital fuel and additional health supplies are urgently delivered to Gaza, thousands of “Vulnerable patients are at risk of death or medical complications due to the closure of critical services due to lack of power,” the WHO warned.
 
A total of 9,000 people were killed in the Gaza Strip in the last 24 hours. And at least 6,791 Palestinians, including 2,360 children, have been killed in the Israeli attack that began weeks ago. The injured exceed fifteen thousand, many seriously and without the possibility of adequate care. 62% of the victims are women and children. With its air and ground bombardments, Israel has destroyed nearly 200,000 homes, 206 schools and colleges, 35 health centers and 11 water sanitation plants.
As active members of the Islamic Communities in Latin America and the Caribbean, we urgently request more defined and firm action from our governments.
Almighty God will do justice.

GAZA STRIP, STATE OF PALESTINE

EML Appeal Stop the genocide stop the shedding of innocent blood.

Every state has the right to defend itself in the face of an attack, particularly against defenseless civilians, but the response and therefore the defense must be exercised within the limits of the offense. The United Nations, which knows international law well, knows that it is forbidden to bomb civilians, hospitals, places of worship and for this reason they have made exemplary statements not appreciated by the Israeli state and it is clear that what we are witnessing is a genocide created by a short-sighted policy that is responding to an attack, albeit an execrable one, which we all condemn, inappropriately and disproportionately.
From Tel Aviv we heard the words revenge and total destruction, words not worthy of a democratic state among the few located in that area, but which with the facts, faced with the murder of 10,000 civilians, can be defined without a doubt, as a result of his actions, lawless and fascist. We are witnessing a collective punishment that has nothing to do with legality and human rights, but a return to a law of retaliation and the settling of scores from the Wild West or the mafia feud.
From this responsibility we categorically exclude the inhabitants of Israel, and the latter include Jews, Christians, civilians, secularists, some political parties, even the military who receive naturally misleading orders from politicians who despise the lives of others , international law, and are devoid of human mercy.

We at the EML European Muslim League, the board and all the Ambassadors of Peace, scattered across the various continents, publicly denounce the anti-Semitism that is today fueled and coming from this government coalition which also includes extremist parties, which with its actions they are leading the world towards a world war. Even if Hamas, which we condemn for its terrorist actions as already stated by the EU, proclaims itself to be a religious political party, here it is not a question of a clash of religions, but of an economic plan whose sole purpose is the destruction and annihilation of Palestinian people. The only solution to the new holocaust of 2023 is the immediate stop of the bombings, the opening of humanitarian channels and the creation of two states as had been planned at Camp David by the plan of the then American President, Bill Clinton as foreseen by the approved resolutions by the UN. The law is the same for everyone and this arrogance of Netanyahu and not of our Jewish cousins, people who believe in God and the afterlife, must be applied, even towards Israel which does not listen to anyone (see dozens of UN resolutions), let alone its American allies. We therefore ask the International Parliament for Safety and Peace, the United Nations, the European Union and individual States to put into practice all diplomatic tools to stop the genocide, mobilizing us all for peace.

French 
Appel EML Arrêtez le génocide et arrêtez l'effusion du sang innocent.
 Tout État a le droit de se défendre face à une attaque, notamment contre des civils sans défense, mais la riposte et donc la défense doivent s'exercer dans les limites de l'offensive. Les Nations Unies, qui connaissent bien le droit international, savent qu'il est interdit de bombarder des civils, des hôpitaux, des lieux de culte et pour cette raison, elles ont fait des déclarations exemplaires qui ne sont pas appréciées par l'État israélien et il est clair que ce à quoi nous assistons est un un génocide créé par une politique à courte vue qui répond à une attaque, même exécrable, que nous condamnons tous de manière inappropriée et disproportionnée.
 Depuis Tel-Aviv, nous avons entendu les mots vengeance et destruction totale, mots qui ne sont pas dignes d'un État démocratique parmi les rares qui se trouvent dans cette zone, mais qui, avec les faits, face à l'assassinat de 10 000 civils, peuvent être définis sans aucun doute comme un résultat de ses actions, anarchiques et fascistes. Nous assistons à une punition collective qui n’a rien à voir avec la légalité et les droits de l’homme, mais plutôt un retour à une loi du talion et des règlements de compte du Far West ou de la querelle mafieuse.
 De cette responsabilité, nous excluons catégoriquement les habitants d'Israël, et ces derniers incluent les juifs, les chrétiens, les civils, les laïcs, certains partis politiques, même les militaires qui reçoivent des ordres naturellement trompeurs de la part de politiciens qui méprisent la vie des autres, le droit international, et sont dépourvus de droit international. de la miséricorde humaine.
Nous, à la Ligue Musulmane Européenne de l'EML, le comité directeur et tous les ambassadeurs de la paix, répartis sur les différents continents, dénonçons publiquement l'antisémitisme qui est aujourd'hui alimenté et venant de cette coalition gouvernementale qui comprend également des partis extrémistes, qui, par leurs actions, conduisent le monde vers une guerre mondiale. Même si le Hamas, que nous condamnons pour ses actions terroristes comme l'a déjà déclaré l'UE, se proclame parti politique religieux, il ne s'agit pas ici d'un choc des religions, mais d'un plan économique dont le seul objectif est la destruction et l'anéantissement du peuple palestinien. La seule solution au nouvel holocauste de 2023 est l'arrêt immédiat des bombardements, l'ouverture des canaux humanitaires et la création de deux États comme cela avait été prévu à Camp David par le plan du président américain de l'époque, Bill Clinton, comme le prévoyait le résolutions approuvées par l’ONU. La loi est la même pour tout le monde et cette arrogance de Netanyahu et non de nos cousins ​​juifs, gens qui croient en Dieu et à l'au-delà, doit être appliquée, même envers Israël qui n'écoute personne (voir des dizaines de résolutions de l'ONU), que ce soit seul ses alliés américains. Nous demandons donc au Parlement international pour la sécurité et la paix, aux Nations Unies, à l’Union européenne et aux États individuels de mettre en pratique tous les outils diplomatiques pour mettre fin au génocide, en nous mobilisant tous pour la paix.
Italian
Appello dell'EML Fermate il genocidio fermate lo spargimento di sangue innocente.
 Ogni Stato ha il diritto di difendersi di fronte ad un attacco, in particolare contro civili indifesi, ma la risposta e quindi la difesa devono essere esercitate nei limiti dell'offesa. Le Nazioni Unite, che conoscono bene il diritto internazionale, sanno che è vietato bombardare civili, ospedali, luoghi di culto e per questo hanno fatto dichiarazioni esemplari non gradite allo Stato israeliano ed è chiaro che quello a cui assistiamo è un genocidio creato da una politica miope che risponde ad un attacco, per quanto esecrabile, che noi tutti condanniamo, in modo inappropriato e sproporzionato.
 Da Tel Aviv si sono sentite le parole di vendetta e di distruzione totale, parole non degne di uno Stato democratico tra i pochi situati in quella zona, ma che con i fatti, di fronte all'assassinio di 10.000 civili, si possono definire senza dubbio come un risultato delle sue azioni, illegali e fasciste. Stiamo assistendo a una punizione collettiva che non ha nulla a che vedere con la legalità e i diritti umani, ma un ritorno a una legge del taglione e dei regolamenti di conti da far west o della faida mafiosa.
 Da questa responsabilità escludiamo categoricamente gli abitanti di Israele, e tra questi ultimi rientrano ebrei, cristiani, civili, laici, alcuni partiti politici, perfino i militari che ricevono ordini naturalmente fuorvianti da politici che disprezzano la vita degli altri, il diritto internazionale, e sono privi di della misericordia umana.
Noi della Lega Musulmana Europea EML, il consiglio direttivo e tutti gli Ambasciatori di Pace, sparsi nei vari continenti, denunciamo pubblicamente l'antisemitismo che oggi viene alimentato e proveniente da questa coalizione di governo, di cui fanno parte anche partiti estremisti, che con le sue azioni stanno portando il mondo verso una guerra mondiale. Anche se Hamas, che condanniamo per le sue azioni terroristiche, come già affermato dall’UE, si proclama un partito politico religioso, qui non si tratta di uno scontro di religioni, ma di un piano economico il cui unico scopo è la distruzione e l’annientamento del popolo palestinese. L’unica soluzione al nuovo olocausto del 2023 è la cessazione immediata dei bombardamenti, l’apertura di canali umanitari e la creazione di due Stati come era stato previsto a Camp David dal piano dell’allora Presidente americano Bill Clinton come previsto dal risoluzioni approvate dall’ONU. La legge è uguale per tutti e questa arroganza di Netanyahu e non dei nostri cugini ebrei, gente che crede in Dio e nell’aldilà, va applicata, anche nei confronti di Israele che non ascolta nessuno (vedi decine di risoluzioni Onu), né I  suoi alleati americani. Chiediamo quindi al Parlamento Internazionale per la Sicurezza e la Pace, alle Nazioni Unite, all'Unione Europea e ai singoli Stati di mettere in pratica tutti gli strumenti diplomatici per fermare il genocidio, mobilitando tutti noi per la pace.

Spanish
Llamamiento del EML: Alto al genocidio, alto al derramamiento de sangre inocente.
Todo Estado tiene derecho a defenderse ante un ataque, particularmente contra civiles indefensos, pero la respuesta y por tanto la defensa debe ejercerse dentro de los límites del delito. Las Naciones Unidas, que conocen bien el derecho internacional, saben que está prohibido bombardear a civiles, hospitales, lugares de culto y por eso han hecho declaraciones ejemplares que el Estado de Israel no aprecia y está claro que lo que estamos presenciando es una genocidio creado por una política miope que responde a un ataque, aunque sea execrable, que todos condenamos, de manera inapropiada y desproporcionada.

 Desde Tel Aviv escuchamos las palabras venganza y destrucción total, palabras no dignas de un Estado democrático entre los pocos ubicados en esa zona, pero que con los hechos, ante el asesinato de 10.000 civiles, se pueden definir sin lugar a dudas, como un resultado de sus acciones, anárquicas y fascistas. Asistimos a un castigo colectivo que no tiene nada que ver con la legalidad y los derechos humanos, sino con el regreso a una ley de represalias y ajustes de cuentas del Salvaje Oeste o de la disputa mafiosa.

 De esta responsabilidad excluimos categóricamente a los habitantes de Israel, y entre estos últimos se incluyen judíos, cristianos, civiles, secularistas, algunos partidos políticos, incluso militares, que reciben órdenes naturalmente engañosas de políticos que desprecian la vida de los demás, el derecho internacional y están desprovistos de de la misericordia humana.


 Nosotros, la Liga Musulmana Europea EML, la junta directiva y todos los Embajadores de la Paz, repartidos por los distintos continentes, denunciamos públicamente el antisemitismo que hoy se alimenta y proviene de esta coalición gubernamental que incluye también partidos extremistas, que con sus acciones están llevando al mundo hacia una guerra mundial. Incluso si Hamás, al que condenamos por sus acciones terroristas como ya afirma la UE, se proclama un partido político religioso, aquí no se trata de un choque de religiones, sino de un plan económico cuyo único objetivo es la destrucción y aniquilación del pueblo palestino. La única solución al nuevo holocausto de 2023 es el cese inmediato de los bombardeos, la apertura de canales humanitarios y la creación de dos estados, tal como estaba previsto en Camp David por el plan del entonces presidente estadounidense, Bill Clinton, tal como lo preveía el Resoluciones aprobadas por la ONU. La ley es la misma para todos y esta arrogancia de Netanyahu y no de nuestros primos judíos, personas que creen en Dios y en el más allá, debe aplicarse, incluso hacia Israel, que no escucha a nadie (ver decenas de resoluciones de la ONU), incluso hacia Israel, que no escucha a nadie (ver decenas de resoluciones de la ONU). solo sus aliados americanos. Por lo tanto, pedimos al Parlamento Internacional para la Seguridad y la Paz, las Naciones Unidas, la Unión Europea y los Estados individuales que pongan en práctica todas las herramientas diplomáticas para detener el genocidio, movilizándonos a todos por la paz.

BRUXELLES, BELGIUM

Horrendous and yet another attack that we condemn and which has no religious motivation. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict in its complexity and at the same time clarity must not lead Muslims around the world to kill people who have nothing to do with the war or the injustices of states or extremist parties. Religion is an instrument of worship and respect and not a weapon of destruction. The EML, its President Amb Alfredo Genova and the General Secretary Dr. Yvonne Ridley invite the community of believers to respect their religion and not make distorted and inappropriate use of it. It is not in the name of God that poor innocent people are barbarically killed. Allah uakbar - God is the Greatest - must be said with love and respect and not as an incitement or slogan to murder others.
They also extend condolences to the families of the two fans of the national football team and the people of Sweden.
French
Horrible et encore une attaque que nous condamnons et qui n’a aucune motivation religieuse. Le conflit israélo-palestinien, dans sa complexité et en même temps sa clarté, ne doit pas conduire les musulmans du monde entier à tuer des gens qui n'ont rien à voir avec la guerre ou les injustices des États ou des partis extrémistes. La religion est un instrument de culte et de respect et non une arme de destruction. L'EML, son président Amb Alfredo Genova et la secrétaire générale Dr. Yvonne Ridley invitent la communauté des croyants à respecter leur religion et à ne pas en faire un usage déformé et inapproprié. Ce n’est pas au nom de Dieu que de pauvres innocents sont tués de manière barbare. Allah ouakbar – Dieu est le plus grand – doit être prononcé avec amour et respect et non comme une incitation ou un slogan au meurtre d'autrui.
 Ils présentent également leurs condoléances aux familles des deux supporters de l'équipe nationale de football et au peuple suédois.
Italian 
Orrendo, l'ennesimo attacco che condanniamo e che non ha alcuna motivazione religiosa. Il conflitto israelo-palestinese nella sua complessità e allo stesso tempo nella sua chiarezza non deve portare i musulmani di tutto il mondo a uccidere persone che non hanno nulla a che fare con la guerra o con le ingiustizie di Stati o partiti estremisti. La religione è uno strumento di culto e di rispetto e non un’arma di distruzione. L'EML, il suo Presidente Amb Alfredo Genova e il Segretario Generale Dott.ssa Yvonne Ridley invitano la comunità dei credenti a rispettare la propria religione e a non farne un uso distorto e inappropriato. Non è in nome di Dio che dei poveri innocenti vengono barbaramente uccisi. Allah uakbar - Dio è il più Grande - deve essere detto con amore e rispetto e non come incitamento o slogan all'omicidio degli altri.
Esprimono inoltre le nostre condoglianze alle famiglie dei due tifosi della nazionale di calcio e al popolo svedese.

TWO STATES


Nothing can have prepared the European Muslim League for the deluge of human misery that burst onto our TV screens in recent days from Israel and the occupied territories of Gaza.

The highest price, as in many wars and conflicts, is being paid by women and children, the elderly and the invalided.

It goes without saying that we at EML are struggling to explain the tragic loss of so many innocents in Israel just as we are also struggling to try and understand the infinite destruction of Gaza.

"Humans are suffering on both sides and our great faith underlines, at all times, the preservation of life and not its destruction.

"It doesn't matter who you are or how you pray, we at EML believe in the preservation of life at all costs. There is simply no hierarchy in pain, suffering, and death. All lives are equally precious.

"We urge restraint on all sides and a swift, just intervention by the EU as well as Britain and America," said EML President Alfredo Maiolese.

EML Secretary General Dr Yvonne Ridley added: "I endorse everything our President says and would urge Muslims to remain true to our moral compass.

"Our brothers and sisters in Gaza are suffering and we must keep them in our prayers during this very dark period, but we must also think of our Jewish cousins who are no strangers to suffering either.

"We must put humanity first and assist wherever we can. Our prayers and thoughts go out to everyone in the Middle East. We must all focus on peace."

Speech of our Ambassador of Peace in Guyana 
 Sheikh Moeenul Hack

Draft statement to be delivered by Sheikh Moeenul Hack, Chairman of the Ethnic Relations Commission, at the thematic roundtable titled “Recognizing and Addressing Systemic and Structural Racism: A Data-Driven and Evidence-Based Approach”
1 June 2023

Chair,
The “One Guyana” approach seeks to ensure ethnic harmony and that no one is left behind. Accurate data is therefore critical to identifying disparities and whether systemic and structural racism exists. And to develop effective responses to achieve equality for all Guyanese of which over 30% are people of African descent.
In addition to periodic censuses, an evidence-based approach to addressing racism requires targeted measures.
This is why our Parliament established the Ethnic Relations Commission (ERC), a constitutional body mandated to promote the elimination of all forms of discrimination on the basis of ethnicity, and to investigate complaints and provide redress as necessary. This body can recommend policies and progammes to the Parliament to address disparities.
Chair,
Yesterday, Mr. Darren Wade from IPADA-G made serious allegations, which in my capacity as Chair of the Ethnic Relations Commission, behooves me to respond.
In his accusation of racism, he said Guyana imposed visas on our Haitian brothers and sisters. The fact is, 12 of the 14 CARICOM countries require visas. Three (3) of these countries removed visa restrictions for Haitians then re-instated it, including Guyana in 2021. The CARICOM Secretary-General in the same year said there is growing evidence that Haitians are being trafficked. In Guyana’s case, a bi-partisan Parliamentary Committee found evidence that Haitians were being trafficked through Guyana to third countries. In 2021, 12 Haitians were rescued after being abandoned by traffickers in our forests.
Regarding Guyana giving preferential treatment to nationals of three Asian countries, and not Haitians. This is not so. The nationals of these countries also require ordinary visas to enter Guyana. As for the Court case, this was a deportation order that was quashed and the persons were ordered released. It was not about reinstating a visa-free regime.
We can only eliminate racism if we are willing to dialogue and work together.
We welcome international cooperation to share experiences and build capacity.
I thank you.

MOSQUE, AL AQSA

Members and peace ambassadors from the European Muslim League have been shocked and dismayed by the images of soldiers violating all forms of humanity during an attack on Masjid Al-Aqsa, the third holiest site in Islam.
That these violations happened during our blessed Holy month of Ramadan on Palestinians inside the Qibla-e-Awaal, is all the more concerning.
While showing our support to the Palestinian people, especially those worshippers injured in the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound on Wednesday evening, Muslims around the world were upset that, during the holy month of Ramadan, the Israeli police showed no respect or restrain during the mosque raid in Jerusalem that left at least 12 Palestinians injured. 
In addition, at least 400 Palestinians were arrested on Wednesday and remain in Israeli custody, according to Palestinian officials. They are being held at a police station in Atarot in occupied East Jerusalem. 
We call on European governments and the wider international community to take urgent action to protect Palestinians & their legitimate human rights. EML also urges the United Nations to take strong actions.
We welcome those countries that have already intervened but more needs to be done. 
Here in Europe we welcomed the international pressure placed upon countries which act against human rights.
Therefore EML respectfully asks for similar measured responses in condemning this week's Israeli aggression and occupation. 
At EML we will always stand with the oppressed and give a voice to the voiceless which is why, today, we stand in solidarity with the Palestinians and urge the rest o the world to allow them to continue their worship  in the holy month of Ramadan. 
In the meantime, we urge all Muslims in Europe to show restraint and pray for peace in Palestine.

In the creation of the heavens and the earth, in the alternation of night and day, in the ship that sails the seas loaded with what is useful to men, in the water that Allah sends down from heaven, reviving the dead earth and spreading animals of all kinds, in the changing of the winds and in the clouds forced to stay between the heavens and the earth, there are signs in all of this for people endowed with intellect. Sura 2.164
