- Decision
- Carried
The number of race hate crimes have increased recently since the incidents in Tunisia and Syria.
We all pay tribute to the families who have lost relatives in these senseless killings of innocent people.
These acts have been deplored by all religious and political leaders, but the EDL and other right winged groups have exploited these events by whipping up hatred.
Conference there is no place for HATE in our Society.
Our BLACK members are again feeling the brunt of this hatred in workplaces and in our communities.
The National Black Members’ Committee can address some of the root causes such as the lack of understanding of Islam.
Conference therefore calls upon the National Black Members’ Committee to:
1)Encourage Regional Black Members ‘Committees to arrange Islamic Awareness training.
2)Publicise materials which tackle the myths and stereotypes around Islam.
3)Produce articles in the Black Action Magazine which tackles the myths and misconceptions around Islam.
