Islamic Foundation Ireland AGM Elections

Dr Fathi Akari
Chairman of the meeting conducted at the IFI Mosque 13/04/2008 He was the chairperson of the interim election committee. The Committee had conducted the meeting in a fair way. The atmosphere was truly democratic, in that most speakers and members had voiced their opinion and listened to, and discussed their case in a classical Islamic shora manner that gave an ideal and fair way of thinking and speaking for most of those present. The meeting gave us the feeling of a hot debate, which showed that Muslims do care about their place of worship, and they are shora orientated. Unlike other mosques which don't show their accounts or problems to their members.The Account for the year 2007 was discussed in full, and approved.Two motions have been discussed 1 Is to do with the new extension which was withdrawn due to lack of funds. Also, due to the fact that women activity will be stopped totally in order to carry the work and women have to be housed somewhere else. A woman spoke from the women section. The motion to be discussed by the new Shora committee. 2 The second motion is to do with handing the lease back to Um-maktoom. Although, this motion was passed, there is a technical problem created by one of the trustee demanding a written guarantee from Um-maktoom for him to sign. His valid reason was for him to sign there have to be a fair deal for the IFI community. A show of hands, indicated that the majority trust Um-maktoom to do the mosque up and increase its activity and they are in favour of handing the lease to Um-maktoom.Election of Shora Committee conducted in a fair manner and new Majlis Shora was elected.

Answering questions on 2005/6/7 accounts and new extension. Also mentioned that Um-maktoom won't accept a conditional handing back of the lease.

Conditions of the mosque has to improve never mind the differences

Accounts for year 2005 and 2006 had to be discussed in full

Answering questions about accounts of 2005/6 Hajj trip

Talking about extension and necessity to postpone the start date

A word of thanks to all 2007 Shora members and their good work. Also mentioned Brother Kamal who is still in detention in Saudi Arabia.


Dr Nafa Badr Trustee, opposing handing the lease to Um- maktoom without striknig a good deal for the IFI community. He thinks legally the lease won't be handed over unless he signs which is true.

Talked about the necessity of handing the lease back without conditions.

After the meeting told me that 'he expects Um-maktoom will be able to transform the mosque into Muslim activity centre.

Members of IFI voted infavour of handing the lease back no one should stop this.

In favour of handing the lease back and let the Muslim community benefit from the management of Um-maktoom.

At the end I would like to say fair play to you Sheikh Yahya and to every member of the IFI who did their best to discuss in a civilised manner and didn’t violate the Islamic tradition that says: "never speak until the speaker finishes his speech" May Allah reward you all and

Fair play to every one

قانون الهجرة ومعاهدة لزبن

Immigration Bill 2008قانون الهجرة الجديد 2008The Muslim Lobby Ireland would like to remind the Fianna Fail party whom we pledged support and voted for in the 2007 election, that they promised to help immigrants not make life hell for them in Ireland.لقد انتخبنا فينا فول في الانتخابات 2007 ووقفنا معهم لغرض ان يسهلوا للمهاجرين امورهم الحياتية ومنح التاشيرة لذويهم من خارج ايرلندا ويحسنوا من وضع المهاجرين لا ان يجعلوا حياتهم جحيما في ايرلندا.The Bill requires foreign nationals who are legally resident in the State to carry new permit cards. of non nationals, as it acts as a discriminatory measure.ان مطالبة المهاجر بحمل بطاقة اقامة وسجنه ان لم يحملها لشئ يزيد في العنصرية في البلد ويمنع الاختلاطFamily Reunification:القانون يمنع دخول الزوجة او الابن او الاهل من خارج ايرلندا ويمنع الزواج من خارج البلد ويمنع زواج الايرلندية او الايرلندي من غير تحصيل السماح من وزارة العدلThe new bill will seriously limit the freedom of Irish citizens to marry non-EU nationals and bring their spouses into the country.The power concentrated in the hands of the Minister and the Gardai is beyond reasonable standards.السلطة التي منحت للوزير والشرطة سلطة مطلقة ويمكن ادخال احد المهاجرين السجن بالظن انه على علاقة مشبوهة ضد امن الدولة. كذلك للوزير الحق في ترحيل من يريد بدون الرجوع الى القانون وحق الاستئناف ممنوع للمرحلAlso, the Bill states that an individual who has been 'charged with any crime or offence' can be deported, giving more power to the Minister and Gardai.suspicion alone may give adequate reason for the arrest and detention of non nationals.This is contrary to the 1948 UN Declaration of Human Rights.

معاهدة لزبن

No date has yet been set for the referendum, but Taoiseach Bertie Ahern has indicated it is likely to be held in the last week of May or the first week of June.التغيير يعطي قوة للخارجية الاوروبية في اتخاذ القرار بدلا من الحكومة المحلية لايرلنداThe EU treaty will give the bloc a long-term president, a more powerful foreign policy chief and more democratic decision-making, and more say to European and national parliaments. It replaces the constitution rejected by French and Dutch voters in 2005.انه اذا درس الناس المعاهدة فسيجدون انها مناسبة ويصوتون عليها بنعمTreaty to date, that the more information that people have, the more likely that they will vote Yesوالمعاهدة عبارة عن الغاء لكل المعاهدات السابعة للسوق الاوروبية المشتركة وقد صوت علهيا في فرنسا وهولندا ب لا في سنة 2005lOriginally called the Reform Treaty, the Lisbon Treaty was drawn up to replace the draft European constitution after it was thrown out by voters in France and the Netherlands in 2005.بريطانيا خرجوا من فقرات المعاهدة التي تنص على قانون الهجرة والتاشيرة ولهم الحق في عدم الموافقة على ذلك ان صوت الشعب بنعمexperts are divided on how effective this will be.Q&A: Charter of Fundamental Rights Are any countries seeking opt-outs?Ireland and the UK currently have an opt-out from European policies concerning asylum, visas and immigration. Under the new treaty they will have the right to opt in or out of any policies in the entire field of justice and home affairs.
