A press statement:
IUMS considers the displacement of Christians from some provinces of Iraq incompatible with the Islamic law.
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah; Mohamed, and upon His family, companions and allies and after;
IUMS inveighs the forced displacement operations of our Christian brothers from their homes and their towns and their provinces in Iraq, which is incompatible with the Islamic law, and the conscience of Muslims, that leaves a negative image about Islam and Muslims, and in contradiction with the realities of Islam, which included all the people with the principles of justice and charity, and the values of righteousness and tolerance, which Allah Almighty indicates by saying: {Allah does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of religion and did not drive you out of your homes. Verily, Allah loves those who deal with equity} [Mumtahina: 8]. And compliance with these principles, Muslims gave wonderful models in dealing with non-Muslims in the most difficult times, prompting thousands to convert to Islam and merge in Muslim communities, and coexist with them in the same country.
The Union demands to organize the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and Sham, which banners on Muslims by declaring succession Khilafah: that allows the Christian brothers in Mosul return to their homes, they are sons of Iraq people, and not outsiders, and must be sought to bury the strife, and be united, and solve Iraqi’s problems, rather than incorporating it in further things, that complicate the current scene, and serve only the plots of enemies seeking to break up Iraq, but the fragmentation of the Arab nation and the Islamic ones.
And we would have liked from this organization that he lived in his era, to demands with the IUMS the whole world to reconsider how to deal with Muslims in many areas, especially Palestine and what is happening to it from displacement and destruction, killings and massacres, and plotted conspiracies against the Muslims in the many countries such as Sri Lanka, India and Central Africa and other, which causes fueling the conflict on the basis of confessional and sectarian, and puts the world in a spiral of conflict that will not end, until it comes to everything and everybody.
The Union calls for the free world - if they hear the call and still have humanity - to stand with the oppressed, which have been robbed of their rights. Since achieving justice and restore rights to their owners will stop conflicts and disputes and wars, and end extremism pictures of all the parties.
To wake-up sedition is a great evil, and all people should cooperate to know its causes, and seek to suppress it, and destroy it.
Oh Allah saves Iraq and all Arab and Muslim countries from infighting, and shown and hidden sedition. { . And Allah has full power and control over His Affairs, but most of men know no} [Yusuf: 21]
