Wayne County Executive Joined Imams Council Meeting
Mr. Warren Evans and his Spiritual Adviser Rev. Roberts met with the members of Imams Council at the Muslim Center in Detroit. They were welcomed by both Co-Chairs of the Council, Imam Mustafa El-Turk and Imam Mohammad Ali Elahi.
The Executive briefed the imams on the region's social and economic challenges . He spoke about the policies influencing issues like healthcare, retirement, and asked for building stronger relationships and partnership with the Muslim and Arab communities in the area.
The Council also discussed "the Muslim Capital Day" on May 12th, in Lansing asking the Muslim community to attend. Fight against hunger was another issue which was mentioned in the meeting.
Imam Elahi invited the imams and their board members to attend the IHW dinner on May 3rd at 2pm. That is the birthday of Imam Ali(as) and day of support for IHW's services and outreach.
Imam Elahi criticized the media, government and also Muslim organizations for their silence on the blind and barbaric bombardment of Yemen and massacre of men, women and children. The Saudi regime that never helped the oppressed in Gaza, Burma or any other places, now practicing genocide in Yemen and the world is watching this human tragedy with no reaction! It's a shame!
