“Seven more mosque and Islamic foundations will be closed by the end of this year in France, which has become the epicenter of enmity towards Islam and Muslims.  The deportation of 36, 000 asylum seekers on various charges from the country where 21 mosques were closed shows that Islamophobia has become a state policy in France. We strongly condemn the hate campaign against Muslims launched in France. Muslims suffer from discrimination and violence in European countries, especially France, where authorities aim to drive out Muslims and Islam from the continent. Unfortunately, the Islamic world has not been able to hammer out a common stance against this persecution, and no deterrent step has been taken against it,” HÜDA PAR said.

Reminding that the “International Organization to Support the Prophet of Islam” have been founded recently in order to react strongly to possible attacks and insults against Prophet Muhammed (PBUH), HÜDA PAR stated: “The establishment of the ‘International Organization to Support the Prophet of Islam’ by 50 prominent Islamic scholars and opinion leaders from across Islamic World in a time when the attacks against Muslims and Islam are at an all-time high has raised hopes for unity among Muslims. All Muslims around the world must give support to this organization. We wish this organization to be beneficial for the Ummah, and hope that it will reach a power that will be able to defend the rights and laws of Muslims.”

“The Zionist occupation regime wants to silence Palestinian NGOs by designating them as terrorist organizations”

Criticizing israeli decision to designate six Palestinian Non-governmental organizations as terrorist organizations, HÜDA PAR said: “The zionist occupation regime, which adds a further dimension to its occupation and persecution with each passing day, has announced that it had designated six Palestinian NGOs that are involved in humanitarian aid activities in Ramallah as terrorist organizations. With this decision, zionist regime aims not only to silence these aid institutions and stop their work at the international level but also to forcibly surrender Palestinian’s will by leaving them desperate and helpless. It is not Palestinian NGOs that should be designated as terrorist organizations but zionist regime that kill women and children, demolish people's homes and destroy cities. On the other hand, the Yusufiye Cemetery, which is located right next to the eastern walls of Jerusalem, is being demolished to make the Torah Park in its place. Some of the Palestinians who resisted the demolition were injured and some were taken prisoner. In this cemetery, where the graves of the Companions of our Prophet are also located, there are the graves of many scholars and administrators, as well as the soldiers who came from Jordan and Iraq to defend Jerusalem in the 1967 War and were martyred here. The destruction of this cemetery, which is at the foot of the Aksa wall, is unacceptable. This brutality of the Zionists, who destroyed everything belonging to Muslims and their history in Jerusalem, must be stopped. We call on all Islamic countries, especially Turkey and Jordan, who restored this cemetery, to stand against this destruction.” (ILKHA)
