He was welcomed by the Imam of the Mosque Sheikh Yahya Alhussaini, secretary of the IFI, and members of the Shoora council, and some community leaders in Dublin today 26th June, 2008.
The meeting was conducted in an informal manner. The minister spoke about the hottest subject, which is Hijab. He said “ The decision about Hijab is not conclusive yet, until we meet. Perhaps it should be conformed to the school uniform colour, Burqa and Niqab is an issue, he is eager to close the issue as soon as possible, or leave it up to the school to decide.”
Member said: “But there should be no political stance on such an issue”
Minister: “reduce the issue of Hijab to French ban on Hijab, which is failed, and not right”
Shoora Member said: “Rory Quinn and Brian Hayes seem to have got it wrong. Don’t have any knowledge of the subject of Hijab as it is not a symbol of Islam and it is a task and a must on a beleiving women in Jewdism, Christianity and Isalm.”
Minister: “you might need to engage them and communicate with them so they would sympathise with the issue”
Imam Yahya: “We have the development and extension of the place of worship, what would the minister’s office can offer for that?
Minister: No money this year, all the budget been distributed, you might need to apply through funding services.
The secretary of IFI: “marriage counselling, youth training, jobs, alcohol, integration, we need fund for that. It is possible through the right body.”
Member said: “Visa restriction slowed down all family reunifications”
Minister: “Immigration bill need to be rushed through the parliament, and asylum applications went down due to processing application quickly, we hope that we will address the issues in the near future”

Thank you minister for visiting our mosque.
My pleasure.

Demonstration in front of the ICCI 6/6/2008 مظاهرة امام مسجد كلونسكي اليوم الجمعة

Funeral procession Thursday 27/3/2008





The parents of both Young girls "IMAN AYADI & AYAH ALZUBER" who died in the tragic accident that happened on the way to Galway for a trip for young girls organised by ICCI at Clonskeagh.



انه لمن البديهي ان الوالدين الذين ابنتهما لم تمت في الحادث وانما تضررت فرغم انها تضررت الا انهما لا زالت بينهما ويراها كلما ارادا, في حين ان الوالدين الذين ماتت ابنتهما لا يريا ابنتهما حيث وريت التراب, فالعقدة النفسية اشد وطأ على الوالدين الذين حرما ابنتهما . ولعلهم يريدون الا يروا من كان منظما لرحلة البنات موجودا بينهم وهذا شعور قد يدفعهم بان يطالبوا ادارة مجلس كلونسكي بالاستقالة.
ولهذا نسال الله ان يرزق اهالي المفقودين الصبر والسلوان وعظم الله اجرهم في صبرهم وتحمل فقدان ابنتيهما



Father of AYAH ALZUBER

angrily said " death of my daughter was a negligence of those who organised the trip as well as they have to apologise, they have to introduce an election into the mosque so the administrations has to be elected instead of appointed from outside"

Right father of IMAN AYADI" Bitterly saying that the mosque organised the trip for the girls therefore they should apologise in public, He accepts that it is an act of god but he says: "there is an element of negligence in leaving girls take places in the car instead of staying in the minibus with the other girls, also those in the administration should resign."

The European Union Charter of Fundamental Rights

زعماء اوروبا يتفقون على الحقوق الرئيسية لكل مواطن اوروبي

The European Union Charter of Fundamental Rights sets out in a single text, for the first time in the European Union's history, the whole range of civil, political, economic and social rights of European citizens and all persons resident in the EU.
These rights are divided into six sections:
Dignity الاعتزاز
Freedoms الحرية
Equality المساواة
Solidarity التضامن
Citizens' rights حقوق المواطنة
Justice العدل


هذه هي الشعارات الستة التي يتضمنها التصويت بنعم للزبن


re based, in particular, on the fundamental rights and freedoms recognised by the European Convention on Human Rights, the constitutional traditions of the EU Member States, the Council of Europe's Social Charter, the Community Charter of Fundamental Social Rights of Workers and other international conventions to which the European Union or its Member States are parties. زعماء اوروبا يوقعون الاتفاقية 2001
The issue of the Charter's legal status - i.e. whether to make it legally binding by incorporating it into the TEU - was raised by the Cologne European Council, which originally launched the Charter initiative. The Convention drew up the draft Charter with a view to its possible incorporation, and the European Parliament voted in favour of incorporation. The Nice European Council (see Annex I to the Presidency conclusions) decided to consider the question of the Charter's legal status during the general debate on the future of the European Union, which was initiated on 1 January 2001.
