Reverts Introduce Prophet to Norwegians
Reverts Introduce Prophet to Norwegians
By Ahmed Al-Amoudi, IOL Correspondent

JEDDAH, April 23, 2006 (IslamOnline.net) – The
International Association for New Muslims (IANM)
organizes on May 12-14 a forum to introduce Islam and
Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) to
the Norwegian people in the face of a defamatory media
blitz.
"We want through this forum to activate the role of
Muslim reverts in their respective societies and
encourage them to introduce the true image of Islam to
the other and refute calumnies associating it with
terror and violence," IANM Secretary General Sheikh
Khalid Bin Romaih Al-Romaih told IslamOnline.net.
The three-day "The Given Mercy" forum is co-organized
by the Islamic League in Norway and under the auspices
of Abdullah Bin Abdul Muhssein, the Secretary General
of the Muslim World League.
"The forum helps counter odious and twisted
information circulated by western media to tarnish the
image of Islam and the Prophet," added Romeih.
"It is incumbent upon us to acquaint people with the
truce Islam."
The Jeddah-based IANM is a non-profit organization
with a body corporate which branches from the Muslim
World League.
It is mainly concerned with coordinating between
Islamic institutions and establishments working in the
field of new Muslims.
IANM organizes cultural, social and educational
programs that are of benefit and meet the needs of new
Muslims.
It also provides audio, visual, written and electronic
materials to new Muslims.
Prophets
Romeih said the forum will highlight the prophet's
ground-breaking change to humanity.
It will discuss verses in the holy books of the three
divine religions, which mentioned the prophets and
prophesied the advent of some.
The forum's title is also the topic of one of the
sessions.
"Islam and Human Relations" and "Islam and
Europe…..Conflict or Collaboration?" will also be
discussed.
Vebjoern Selbekk, the editor of the Norwegian
Magazinet magazine, apologized to Muslims on February
10, for publishing the Danish cartoons lampooning
Prophet Muhammad.
After initially defending the reprinting of the
cartoons as an expression of press freedom, he
appeared before TV cameras shaking hands with Muslim
leaders after his apology.
The cartoons controversy has motivated world Muslims
to champion local know-prophet campaigns to introduce
Islam to non-Muslims.
In March, Muslim scholars decided to establish an
international organization and a fund to defend the
Prophet against defamatory attacks in the West.
IslamOnline.net has also launched a multi-lingual
website to acquaint non-Muslims with the prophet.
