From HOPE : Religious Head of the Ahmadiyya Anjuman Isha'at-i Islam, Trinidad and Tobago, Haji Jaleelul Rahaman, passed away on Sunday 7 December 2014.

Our condolences go out to the family of our departed brother.

Pakistan 100 Years on As usual the annual prayer meeting of the worldwide Ahmadiyya Anjumans Ishaat Islam was organised by our Centre at Lahore. These prayer meetings are organised not for selfaggrandisement or some political purpose. They are solely devoted to prayer and supplication and improving the knowledge of the participants so that they are better equipped to defend the religion of Islam, which was the original purpose of these gatherings.

Over the days speeches of high quality were delivered by the

participants. The speakers included from the very young to old.

The proceedings started with the Fajr prayers after which an enlightening exposition of the Holy Quran was delivered.

After the dars members dispersed for breakfast. The main proceeding started at 09:00 with recitation of the Holy Quran and recitation of the religious poetry by the Promised Messiah. Arrangements had been made for simultaneous translation into English of the Urdu speeches for the benefit of our overseas members.

Members from the US (Ohio and

California), Trinidad, the UK, Australia and Indonesia attended the proceedings and took part in them.

A new and notable feature was the direct delivery of speeches by overseas members such as Mr Mudassar Aziz from Berlin. Although the speaker misses the atmosphere of the meetings it is a great morale boaster for our own members present at Dar us Salaam (Lahore).

Hazrat Ameer’s appeal for donations led to contributions of almost 10 million Pakistani Rupees.

May Allah bless all those who donated so generously and reward

is denying the Holocaust took place. This is true of most EU countries. Even EU has a law which says this.

their sacrifice.

Sad Killings in France President of the UK branch sent the following response to a website in the US when it was felt that Muslims were being needlessly apologetic over the killings. It was a crime by some terrorists and we are saddened by the loss of life and sympathise with those left behind but Islam does not teach Muslims to behave in this manner. Rather rush into denouncing Islam and Muslims people need to sit down and look at why some Muslims behave in this manner. These are not people who have gone to madrassas in Pakistan but mostly born in the West and educated here. Muslims too need to look at what they are being taught in the name of Islam and check to see whether this represents the true teachings or there is some political agenda underlying.

Dear Mike assalamu alaikum We've all got carried away by this perceived attack on 'freedom of expression'. But let us look at facts and ask: So where is the freedom of expression?:France has banned hijab and anyone wearing hijab cannot get a job with the French government.

France has a criminal offence which Hazrat Ameer at the House of Commons.

Switzerland has banned the building of anything that looks like a mosque.

Charlie Hedbo's editor, who is now a martyr, sacked one of his columnists for writing this sentence: “Our young lad, he will go far” because it was felt this was insulting to the Jews. All the columnist was doing was poking funs at President Sarkozi's son who had become engaged to a Jewess-heiress to a large fortune. When the columnist refused to apologise he was sacked.

For years I’ve tried in the US to get air-time, space etc. for advertisements saying Israel is a terrorist state but I've been unsuccessful.

My son offered the New York Times $100,000 to run an advertisement for a week with this heading and quoting facts but was refused.

It appears to me that the so called freedom of expression is there only to insult Islam, Muslims and the Holy Prophet Muhammad (s).

Has France ever apologised for the murder of tens of thousands of Muslims in Algeria or the Buddhists in Vietnam?

Oh and am I going to be allowed to print a cartoon poking fun at the Holocaust? if not,

why not?

Let us stand with our heads held high - we have nothing to apologise for. It is the Western Governments who need to apologise for giving money to get votes to organisations which support terrorism, for selling arms and armaments to countries that suppress freedom and for making Muslims feel like second class citizens.

Shahid Aziz President Worldwide Ahmadiyya Associations for Propagation of Islam (UK branch) From: "Moazam mf897s@aol.com [WorldMuslimCongress]" Well said! 'fazlur rehman faridi' frfaridi@rediffmail.com [WorldMuslimCongress] Salam Well said Shahid, indeed. And trust me you are not alone and Muslims and unbiased journalists, columnists, statesmen are getting tired of too! No, we should not parrot what west and its hypocrite leaders parrot. Nor should we apologize.

Next time someone asks Muslims to condemn, let us turn the tables on those bigots and ask them to apologize for their own skeletons.

And the apology should be public.
