MINAB Condemns the attacks on Christians in Nigeria
The Mosques and Imams National Advisory Board (MINAB) condemns the outrageous suicide terrorist attacks that targeted innocent Christian Nigerian families who were praying in their Churches on Christmas Day. Such attacks are affront to all human and religious values and aim to inspire hate and disrupt the harmony of Christian Muslim community relations, who have co-existed for centuries.
The Chair of the MINAB, Maulana Shahid Raza, OBE, said. "Such barbaric attacks, in the name of Islam on places of worship, is abhorrent and is an attack on all our religious and human values". "We stand united in offering solidarity against targeting communities in Nigeria which aims to destroy community relations and inspire hate and discord”. "We offer our heartfelt condolences to the entire Nigerian nation particularly to the bereaved and pray for the speedy recovery of the injured", he said.
The MINAB calls upon Mosques to pray for peace and harmony in Nigeria and to re-emphasis the Quranic message of protecting places of worship; challenging these extreme views which try to subvert Islam.

Tackling domestic violence
On Wednesday 23rd November 2011 at the Muslim College, the MINAB held a discussion on“The role of faith institutions in tackling domestic violence.”
The aim of the discussion was to grow an awareness of issues surrounding domestic abuse. To work towards creating an environment within the faith institution in Britain in which domestic abuse is understood and recognized as unacceptable and where appropriate responses are available.
The discussion highlighted some of the excellent work being done by local and national faith groups and provided an opportunity for inter faith learning and cooperation. However there was real concern that at times there was apathy, and neglect by institution and faith leaders on this issue.

In appointing delegates the members must bear in mind that the Constitution requires that at least 20% of the Executive Board should be females and, therefore unless females are appointed as delegates to the General Council the Constitutional requirement is unlikely to be met.
Before appointing delegates or confirming the appointment of delegates previously made, members must make sure that the appointed delegate/s will attend the AGM as proxy vote is not permitted and subsequent change of a nominated delegate is allowed only for exceptional reasons.
The Founding members should file the names of their four appointed members each before 5PM on 27 January 2012 too. If any or all of them wish to retain the names previously submitted, then those will be their appointed members. By way of reminder at least one of the appointed four members from each Founding member must be a female.
MINAB Annual General Meeting
Following legal advice from our Advisor on Constitutional Affairs on more than one occasion exhorting Trustees to convene a meeting of the General Council, the Trustees met on 14 November 2011 at the Muslim College.
At that meeting the Trustees reiterated their trust and confidence in Judge Khurshid Drabu CBE for his advice and requested that he should continue to be the Election Commissioner for MINAB.
It was decided that the Annual General Meeting of the MINAB which has been due since August 2011 would now be held on Sunday 4 March 2012 at Leicester. It was also decided to request Judge Drabu to draw up the dates for Election Schedule as soon as possible so that members will have sufficient time to file returns and respond to communications.
These decisions were conveyed to Judge Drabu after the Trustees meeting and he accepted the re-appointment; thanked the Trustees for their trust and undertook to draw up the date schedule for the elections shortly.

MINAB & Charity Commission Safer Giving Campaign
Many community organisations and Mosques benefit from the generosity of Muslim people in particular in the Holy Months. Many charities are also raising desperately-needed funds to help the people affected by the famine in East Africa at this time.
The Mosques & Imams National Advisory Board, is encouraging people who want to give to charity to check if the charity they are donating to is registered with the Charity Commission, and to follow its safer giving advice. The Charity Commission offers safer giving advice around all major fundraising drives and emergency appeals.
