A Muslim lobby at Whitehall
Examining the role of the Muslim minority in British foreign policy making

Abstract:While much has been written on the role of ethnic and religious pressure groups in US foreign policy making, little has been noted of the participation of these groups in the British context. This paper examines the role of the British Muslim community in the making of British foreign policy. In particular, it examines the lobbying activity of the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB), which, though only established in 1997, has achieved prominence in political and media circles. This study reveals a disparity between the MCB's regular access to government ministers and officials under the New Labour tenure and its only limited influence in foreign policy making. More generally, it seeks to show the complexity of the relationship between domestic and foreign policy as well as between culture and politics.

واجباتهم تجاه افراد الجالية 27.05.07

انما الحب في الله والكره في الله وليس في الاشخاص. فالشخص انما هو عبارة عن عبد من عباد الله سخر من اجل مصلحة وانيطت له مهمة لانجازها على اكمل وجه. وانه كل من يشتغل في سلك الله هو منا ونحن منه فلا يسع لنا الا ان نقول كلمة الحق التي نعتقد انها حقا بدون الحط من عمل الاخرين.

ان المساجد في ايرلندا تعتبر حديثة عهد وان المسلمين قليلين وانه لمن النزاهة والعفة بمكان ان يرشد المسجد الى دوره ان رات الجالية الاسلامية في ايرلندا تقصيرا, ولكننا نرى جوانب كثيرة من الايجابية والتفهم من قبل الادارة ونسأل الله ان يعينهم على خدمة جاليتنا في ايرلندا وليعلموا علم اليقين انهم مسؤولون امام الله ان لم يقوموا بواجباتهم تجاه افراد الجالية.

وانه لمن المسؤولية التي تقع على عاتق المسلم لوبي في ايرلندا بان ترشد المسلمين الى تشكيل هيئة اوقاف تحت الحكومة الايرلندية كي تصبح المساجد ملكا للجالية ليس لدولة خارجية وبهذا تكون ميزانية الاوقاف من الدولة التي ندفع لها الضرائب. وقد يكون هذا أمرا من ضرب الخيال في ايرلندا الدولة الكاثوليكية المتشددة ولكنه لابأس من طرق الباب . فان المسلمين في تزايد وان التنظيم هو الذي يفرض الاتحاد علينا جميعا. فجلنا يريد حقوقه وحرية العبادة من حقه المكفول في هذا البلد ما لم تمس احدا بسوء. او تقترف جريمة بسبب معتقد او استهتا را بدين او ملة او تحقيرا لشخص على شخص او انتقاصا من حقوق الاخرين.

فرحم الله كل من عمل عملا يريد به وجه الله واكرم الله كل من اكرم المسلمين واعطاهم حقوقهم وسعى من اجل اكرامهم وارشادهم ودعنا ان لا ننتقص ممن يشتغل من اجل هذا ولا تحقرن من المعروف شيئا فكله يصب في خانة مساعدة المسلمين . فالى العمل الصالح فان الموت آت لا محالة وان العمل منقطع بعده وان الندم لا ينفع بعد الموت .

26 May 2007 موقف المسجد

السلام عليكم..
ارجو زيادة توضيح موقف المسجد وهل كونه علي حياد يعني بالضرورة انه يحرض المسلمين في هذه البلاد علي ان يكونوا ايضا علي الحياد ؟ وما المشكلة لو ان مساجد ايرلندا كان لها دور اكبر في تعريف المسلمين بأهمية هذا الموضوع وتعريف الأحزاب ايضا بأهمية اصوات الجالية ومطالبها؟ نرجو مزيد توضيح حول موقف مساجد ايرلندا من هذا الموضوع الهام

Important notice:
Please note the Islamic cultural Centre and all mosques are neutral bodies
نرجو من الجميع ان يعلم بان المساجد انما هي مؤسسات محايدة
وانما نتحدث هنا عن صوت المسلم وليس صوت المسجد

It is a long established policy of the Islamic Cultural Centre of Ireland to remain impartial during national and local political elections. It is not the policy of the ICCI to canvass on behalf of any individual or party. The ICCI firmly disassociates itself from the decision by any group, body or lobby to encourage its members or community to vote for one particular party or individual. It is the choice of the individual to vote for the person/party that they feel will address their concerns at government level. The ICCI also disassociates itself from any group, body, or lobby that slanders the characters of any individuals whether Muslim or non-Muslim. The ICCI encourage all Muslims to vote and also cast their votes with wisdom. Issued by ICCI Administration

Due to the fact that Finna Fail were the pioneers of 10 yrs of good economic and political achievement it is obvious that they will win. The PD have angered the masses with their ill behaviour and therefore did not do well.
As far as we are concerned Connor Lenihan had promised the Muslim community in his south Dublin constituency
to look into individual needs and to try to lobby with us to get a a land for our culture project.
Berty had promised quite few Muslims to help them with their friends immigration problem and visiting rights for their parents
and some need help with housing.
Your vote means a lot in this country and therefore we as Muslims should use our vote sensibly.
if you voted please let us know who you voted for and what did you ask him to do ? waiting for your e mail.
