<\/p>\n
The Australian Muslim Community National Summit (AMCNS) was held on 24 March 2019 in Sydney for the second consecutive year.<\/p>\n
Over 150 prominent Muslim organisations and community leaders from across Australia came together to discuss important issues concerning the future of Australian Muslims.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The summit aims to serve as a collaborative platform to coordinate, enhance, and bring benefit to the Australian Muslim Community and its standing in, and contributions to Australia.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The delegates at the National Summit focused on addressing key challenges faced by Australian Muslims, whereby problem-solving and research-based frameworks were applied with the objectives of coordinating and promoting a wholesome Australian Muslim identity, enhancing media and political engagement for the Muslim community, strengthening public relations and advocating for the protection of civil rights of minority groups.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In an unparalleled show of support, the attendees discussed strategies which would allow the Australian Muslim community to better shape their future in a unified way. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The coincidental occurrence of the recent terrorist attacks which took place in Christchurch, compelled the attendees to briefly discuss the tragedy and make collective Dua’a (supplication\/prayers) for the victims and their families, and discuss issues of importance as well as lessons to be drawn from such an incident.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The National Summit is currently supported by over 150 mainstream Muslim organisations from all Australian States and Territories and is open to all mainstream and representative Muslim organisations.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The ultimate objective of the Summit is to unite Muslim organisations, leaders and the Muslim community in addressing key issues and challenges faced by Australian Muslims- especially matters concerning Islamophobia and the protection of the rights of Australian Muslims. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The next National Summit will be held in 2020, Insha-Allah (God Willing).<\/p>\n
