Asbjorn/Friends,
Thanks for bringing the activities of this organization in Denmark to our
attention.That was most commendable of you.I just happen to receive  mails
from this group from time to time,I am not a member of this organization,
all I do know about then is that they are based in London and that it is an
Islamic Party. I just thought of sharing the posting with my fellow brothers
and sisters on the forum.If by so doing,I had given the impression of
belonging to or subscribing to EXTREME BRAND OF ISLAM,I offer my most
profound apology to members of this forum.My brand of Islam borders on
respect for my fellow human beings irrespective of their religious belief(I
am fully aware of our doctrinal and theological differences with our fellow
Christain brothers and sisters)building bridges rather than sowing seeds of
discord is the answer to World Peace,tolerance and  understanding but above
all respect For the Rule of Law of Great Britain where I happen to be
domiciled.
Apart,The Holy Quran tells us that their is no compulsion in religion,and
our beloved Prophet(may the peace and blessing of Allah be on him)hammer the
point home by advising us that We(Muslims) should always follow the Middle
path in all our daily activities.I try to live my life by this precept
though at times I do fall short of this very high standard as in the present
case.I can only beg for your forgiveness.
Thank you very much on this Blessed Month of Ramadan for bringing this to
our attention.
With the very best of good wishes,
Musa Amadu Pembo

Da’wah is to convey the message with wisdom and with good words. We should
give the noble and positive message of Islam. We should try to emphasize
more commonalities and explain the difference without getting into
theological arguments and without claiming the superiority of one position
over the other. There is a great interest among the people to know about
Islam and we should do our best to give the right message.
May Allah,Subhana Wa Ta'Ala,guide us all to His Sirat Al-Mustaqim (Righteous
Path).May He protect us from the evils of this life and the hereafter.May
Allah,Subhana Wa Ta'Ala,grant us entrance to paradise .
We ask Allaah the Most High, the All-Powerful, to teach us that which will
benefit us, and to benefit us by that which we learn. May Allaah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala grant blessings and peace to our Prophet Muhammad and his family
and
companions..Amen.
