Speech at the Religions for Peace Summit in Kathmandu
Here, beneath one of our Creator’s mightiest creations, from the Everest to the Annapurna Mountain Peaks, we have gathered to contemplate the forces of war and mass murder that are rampant in the modern world.

The Uighur Massacre: We don’t need your solidarity Al-Qaeda!
The Muslim Youth Movement of Malaysia aligns itself with the rest of the world in condemning the recent unrest in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region caused by the Chinese Government’s mishandling of an alleged delicate internal matter.

The South Thailand Mosque massacre and our hope for peace
South Thailand’s predominantly Muslim population has suffered a severe blow with the death of 12 and many other injured at the mosque in the Cho Airing district on 8 June. This follows the death of over 3,500 since 2004 due daily violence committed by suspected separatists and the Thai military.
