Dr.Umar Al Qadri is Chair at Irish Muslim Peace & Integration Council Ireland.
He express his views:
“It is An honour to attend a moving Holocaust Memorial service at the Mansion House once again this year. It is important that we Muslims stand in solidarity with our Jewish brothers and sisters that were victim of genocide and millions of Jews lost their lives. Such crime even took place after the holocaust in Rwanda, Srebrenica and other places where victims were again targeted because their diversity. The Holy Qur’an states that the murder of one innocent soul is the murder of whole of mankind. We find exactly the same message in the Jewish scripture (Mishna Sanhedrin 4:5).”
Dr. Umar has also attended earlier this week, a virtual holocaust memorial in which Muftis’s and Rabbi’s from different European countries, that together form the Muslim Jewish Leaders Council (MJLC), came together to share their thoughts and reflect on the important message which we can derive from such immense suffering. The rise of antisemitism, Islamophobia and populism in the past few years has brought Muslim and Jewish leadership closer.
He said, “We must remember that neither the holocaust nor Srebrenica massacre nor any other genocide happened suddenly. Normalisation of discrimination and hate speech led to such human suffering. We should never tolerate hate speech and discrimination. Let us learn from history and do our best to make this world a better place by spreading Peace and Unity.”
