Women look at Gaza future
OVER 150 women gathered to discuss a way forward in Gaza during a conference in Manchester.
The event organised by the sister arm of Hizb ut-Tahrir and held at the Pakistani Community Centre in Lonsight looked beyond the ceasefire, evaluated practical steps that could have prevented atrocities in Gaza and mapped out a future political set up to ensure stability and peace for the region
Dentist Shazia Rashid, spoke about the failure of current Muslim leaders in responding to the calls of Palestinians being attacked in the Gaza region.
She said: “Arab regimes were more interested in organising conference after conference laden with plush settings and foods, spending days arguing over the text that could go on the ‘declaration’ to ‘condemn’ Israel rather than using military pressure to stop Israel in its advances.”
She said there was a need for new leaders who will be able to protect the interest of its people.
Women’s deputy media representative of Hizb ut-Tahrir Britain, Sultanah Parvin said only an Islamic government could offer peace to Muslims, Jews and Christians in Israel.
“You only have to look at the rich Muslim history which saw huge prosperity amongst communities in the very same region,” she said.
