Birmingham Islamic Society is teaming up with Burma Task Force of Chicago, Illinois in organizing a fundraiser program on Sunday, January 13, 2019 at Soiree Events Gallery from 3 to 6 pm inn sha Allah. This fundraiser is to collect funds to help pay for the legal expenses to take the Burmese government to the International Criminal Court in the Hague, Netherlands. As we all know, several Bosnian Serbs were taken to this court several decades ago for their part in the mass killing of the Bosnian Muslims. Now we have the current case of mass killings of women, children and elderly people, rapes, house burnings and mass exodus of over 1 million Rohingya people from their native Burma to Bangladesh. The United Nations has already called it a genocide. Currently, the US congress is also considering calling it a genocide, which is a more severe designation from the previous designation of ethnic cleansing, thanks to the efforts of the Burma Task Force, especially its chairman, Br. Abdul Malik Mujahid.
So we appeal to the conscience of our local Muslim brothers and sisters to come and attend this program. Tickets can be bought online at Eventbrite. Details are on attached poster. This is the first time, we will also be video streaming this event LIVE to many communities within and outside Alabama and asking for their help in this cause by donating.
