We have heard and read the news about many of our Muslims brethren who live in predominantly nonMuslim communities and what they suffer from in terms of hegemony and difficulty in practicing the rites of their Din. Attempts are made to divert them from Islam, either by force or by other means. We ask Allah to make them and all Muslims steadfast on Islam and to grant them safety from the intrigues of their enemies.
They are without doubt in an important position to propagate Islam and are in need of every help and assistance. At the political level, Islamic governments, whether from Arab or nonArab countries that are jealously protective of Islam and have relations with these nonMuslims countries, should send delegates and letters to ensure their representation. They should also use other means and techniques to help Muslim minorities, raise their morale, and make those who have wronged and persecuted them feel that they have brothers in Faith who are concerned for them, follow their news, and are jealously protective of them.
The inequity and oppression that Muslims are suffering will be removed In sha'aAllah (if Allah wills) when these countries feel that right behind these Muslim minorities there are countries that feel pain at their pain and take care of their affairs. They will then acquiesce to the Muslims' demands and stop oppressing them, especially as most of these countries need the Muslim countries involvement in economic and other matters.
