Islamophobic Attacks: The Aftermath

Where and When?

Who are the Speakers?

• Imaam Shakeel Begg

What’s It All About?

Reviewing the attacks that took place during the week beginning 2nd of November 2009 (coinciding with Charity Week ‘09), discussing the measures the University is taking to ensure the safety of all of its students and advising students on how to keep themselves from harm’s way. The panel will then go on to discuss the importance of being patient and the benefits in affirming that attacks were decreed by Allaah. Furthermore, the panel will then explain the issues touched upon by a student paper regarding an event hosted by the City University Islamic Society, explaining matters of Muslim Creed and principles that a Muslim adheres to.

Who’s Invited?

All students and staff of City University. Externals/members of public are excluded from this event due to University policy and security concerns. Segregated facilities will be provided for all men and women.

Final Comments…

For those who have been affected by the attacks, they are encouraged to invite their lecturers and tutors to the event, due to the inconveniences caused as a result of missing lectures, extenuating circumstances etc. and the lecturers have a right to know what went on.

As for the sisters who have been patiently following the request of the headbrother, you too may attend the event inshaaAllaah. Please ensure that there is a safe mode of transport available for you to get home and if you require cabs/taxis, as always the ISoc will fully compensate inshaaAllaah.
