[Islahonline]

Date: June 1, 2006                                                                                Press Release July 15, 2006 Muslims Holocaust and Genocides Remembrance Day   On July 15, 1099 the first Holocaust of more than half million Muslims took place right in the holy land, Al Quds (Jerusalem). Since then, Muslims have been subject to many Holocausts and genocides. Millions of Muslims have been slaughtered, displaced or sent to concentration camps by the anti-Muslim fanatics. Today, again the cheapest blood is of Muslims.  They have been killed daily in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Chechnya, Kashmir, etc. In the Western world, Muslims have been discriminated, harassed, bullied and intimidated by the fellow citizens because of their beliefs and / or looks.   In Muslim countries, Muslims are being killed or put into jails by the governments because of their opposition to corruption and dictatorships.  All Muslims are being blamed and made responsible for the crime of few.  Muslims are being paint brushed and stereotyped because of ignorance, extremism, racism and discrimination that exist in North America, Australia and Europe.   Currently, Muslims are the most oppressed humans on earth but most of the people do not realize this.  It is a duty of every Muslim to let the world know their side of the story.   July 15 marks an important day for Muslims. It is called “Muslims Holocaust and Genocides Remembrance Day”. Please organize rallies, programs, seminars, conferences, etc. to remember the victims of Muslim Holocaust.  Please write articles, letters and emails to create awareness about the Holocaust and Genocides of Muslims.
