Question
I am outraged at an event organized by Muslims. They are organizing a 'COMMEMORATION OF THE NAZI HOLO-CAUST' service. Muslim speakers at this event are Yasmin Sooka, Farid Essack, Kayum Ahmed and supporters listed are Ahmed Kathrada Foundation and Coalition for a Free Palestine. Please comment on this commemoration function.
Answer
There is nothing outrageous about this event. Generally, it is not our policy to comment on non-Muslim affairs and activities. You are outraged because you have mistaken the characters (in your question) to be Muslims. There are millions of people living in Lebanon, Syria. Iraq and Egypt who bear Muslim-sounding names, but are Christians. Similarly, those in your question with Muslim-sounding names are not Muslims. You should therefore not be surprised. What, however, is surprising is that our friend, the Rt. Reverend Abraham Bham is not partici p a t i n g. H i s n o n - participation in this type of an event is indeed intriguing.
