Talk on Islamic Civilization

On 4 April 2006, Dr. Khalid Alavi, Dean Faculty of Arts and Humanities from the Women’s Institute of Science & Humanities delivered a talk on “Islamic Civilization” to our students. His talk was very insightful and enlightening.

Demark Cartoons

It is now common knowledge that Jylland – Posten, a Danish newspaper, published some cartoons depicting the Islamic prophet Mohammed.It is also well known that Muslims world wide have condemned the caricatures through protests.What is perhaps lesser known is the fact that after the 12 drawings were published on the 30th of September 2005, Danish Muslims held protests and sought immediate intervention unsuccessfully by the Danish Government.It may also surprise people to read that the Arab League tried to meet with the Danish representative at their Head Quarters in Egypt and that at least ten Muslim Ambassadors tried to secure a meeting with the Danish Prime Minister during October – December last year, all of which were unsuccessful.

Now if we fast forward to January the 6th 2006, several other European countries have re-published the animations in the name of “Press Freedom”.Once again there has been protests by the Muslim World from Syria, Iraq, Iran Afghanistan, Turkey, Indonesia, Pakistan, England and New Zealand.

As Muslims the questions we need to ask are:

• Why were the cartoons allowed to be published?
• Why after three months of asking by Muslim groups for a peaceful solution was there no response from both Jylland – Posten and the Danish Government?
• Why is the excuse of “Press Freedom” being used as a tool for an anti-Islamic campaign?
• Why is the media to once again harm the peaceful nature of Islam using the image of Muslim protest?

As Muslims we would like the Public to understand that:

• We forgive the ones who commit mistakes by error or ill-advised means.
• There can be no religious equality unless a blasphemy law is set p to include Islam.
• Islam is a peaceful religion and Muslims love peace.
• Prophet Muhammad is a messenger of peace.

Silent Protest

A peaceful rally against the Danish Cartoons at ChaterGarden, commencing at 12.30 p.m. on 26th of February 2006 was organized by the Trustee. Our Committee had arranged some of our teachers and students to attend the protest.

The competition was held on 15 January and jointly organized with the Islamic Union of Hong Kong. The purpose was to encourage the new generation of Muslims to read and study the Qur'an. Over six hundred people attended the event. The quests included representatives from Saudi Arabia Embassy, Iran embassy, Kuwait Embassy, Islamic organizations and Qur'an classes. This activity was sponsored by the Saudi ArabiaEmbassy, Iran Embassy, Dr. Tahir and Mr. Gul Roz.

Our students also participated in the competition.Tuet Kin Hang, a S.7 student, won the1st runner-up in the middle section and Ali Waqas, a S.2 student got a merit award in the senior section. Congratulations to these two students who managed to stand out from more than a hundred participants.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank teachers, staff and students for their support throughout the activity. We would also like to express our gratitude to the PTA committee members and parent volunteers for preparing the refreshment and making this event a success.
