Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. As part of an overall aim to help out the displaced and the needy, I will be participating in the Manchester 10k run to raise funds for the victims of ISIS and the barbaric war crimes they have committed against the Iraqi people. Many have been brutally murdered, others displaced. There are so many orphans without food or shelter. On the 11th of November 2014, the United Nations refugee agency (UNHRC) released a statement estimating some 13.6 million people having been displaced due to the invasion by ISIS. Disturbingly, the numbers change by the day. ISIS has not spared any segment of the Iraqi nation. It has targeted Muslims, both Shia and Sunni, Christians, Kurds, Assyrians and Yazidis. At Camp Speicher alone an estimated 1,700 Iraqi young men were killed in a single day. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights said that they were preforming 'widespread ethnic and religious cleansing in areas under their control'. Mass executions like Camp Speicher are not rare. They continue to this day. All these war crimes and others have been committed under the banner of Islam. Islam has nothing to do with these atrocities. Prophet Mohammed PBUH was a Mercy for all Mankind. As a Muslim, I look at people as Imam Ali put it as being either my brothers and sisters in religion or my brothers and sisters in humanity. Many Iraqis have been forced to leave their homes and are left with inadequate shelter, clothing and food supply. I would appreciate your support with whatever you can spare. All donations will go to help those victims.Thank you.
