- The tragedy of the Lady of Islam, Bibi Fatima, and the uncertainty about the location of her burial
- The shrines of the Prophet\'s family and companions in Baqi were destroyed almost a century ago when the Wahhabis gained control of Medina
- In stark contrast, the UN Under-Secretary-General, Mr. Miguel Angel Moratinos, who is in charge of the UN\'s Plan of Action to Safeguard Religious Sites, visited the Grand Ayatullah Sayyid ‘Ali Sistani.
- They discussed promoting a culture of peaceful coexistence, rejecting violence and hatred, establishing values of harmoney that are based on genuine concern for rights and mutual respect among adherents of different religions
- Our Grand Marja‘ pointed out that the tragidies suffered by many people of different ethnic & social groups in many parts of the world have been the result of three specific issues
- Looking at the rise of extremist movements that use blind violence against the defenceless
- For centuries, Muslim dynasties dominated the Middle Eastern area from north Africa and the Arab Middle East to Asia Minor and Eastern Europe – Umayyid, ‘Abbāsid, and Othmani – they didn’t have any agenda that whatever land they occupy and dominate, the first act to be done was to demolish the religious sites of other faiths.
- It all started with the Saudis. Unfortunately, because of its oil, the West bows down to them and ignores their crimes in suppressing the minorities.
- One passage from the speech of Bibi Fāṭimah (a) discussing 8 important pillars of our faith, and their positive effects

- Today\'s political landscape which recognizes Islamophobia as a serious problem, in the aftermath of the shooting in a Quebec city mosque six years ago, and the truck attack in London, Ontario two years ago
- These tragedies led to the first Action Summit on Islamophobia, and the creation of the Office of the Special Representative on Combatting Islamophobia
- One week ago, the government appointed Amira Elghawaby as the new Special Representative on Islamophobia, affirming the importance of engagement at various levels of civil society
- An NCCM report also announced, that “for the first time in Canadian history a school board finally issued an anti-Islamophobia educational strategy\", which was done by Peel District School Board.
- Discussing some highlights of this strategy
- NCCM has urged the Muslim community to send a message of thanks to PDSB. You can simply do that by going to the NCCM’s website and click on “Send A Letter” button.
- The struggle for justice and fairness for all citizens of Canada must continue
- Even the Muslims in the USA are active on the political level. One such example is Ilhan Omar: she came to the US in the 1990s as a Somali refugee; and was elected to the US congress in 2018
- She was also a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee. Republicans who secured a majority in the Congress in the midterm elections in November, voted on a resolution to remove Ilhan Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee. Obviously, the members voted along party lines and removed her from that position. = She was removed because she was critical of human rights violation by Israel.
- We pray for the success of all who stand up for the rights of the minorities and the oppressed people around the world.
