13 Shaʻban 1443 AHEMIR SEEKS "SPIRITUAL GATHERING" Emir Sulaiman Samar El-Amin has today sent out invitations to nations across Mundus that are part of the "People of the Book", a group of religions with a shared history connected to the Prophet Abraham. The Emir explained that while the idea had been considered for a while it was the recent words directed towards Samantra regarding their controversial defeat of the Separations of Income Act. The Emir has called for there to be a discussion of nations holding the Christian, Jewish and Islamic faiths central to their nation to meet and discuss co-operation to stand against what he has described as "an ultra liberal world order devoid of Gods guidance." It is not yet known exactly what will be proposed during the meeting however some suspect it may be an alternative approach to human rights than the MCUR. The move however may just be an attempt at forging closer relationships with people the Emir believes would likely share a common outlook on world affairs.
It is understood that the Emir has been meeting regularly with Imam Mansur Karimi who is a respected Islamic scholar in Rayyu. The Emir explained "At the centre of everything I try and do is my faith. I admit though I am not always a good Muslim and I hope Allah will forgive me for that for he is the most forgiving. Here in Rayyu we respect the guidance the Quran and Hadiths give us in our efforts to lead a life worthy of Allah. When nations tell the people of a nation that they have in effect made a bad decision about their own laws and lives they are in effect seeking to compel that nation to follow their ideals. Samantra as far as I can tell are a nation with a democratically elected government that reflects their population. That government have listened to different viewpoints, considered them and compared them to their people's needs and hopes. They then made a decision and I respect that. Our own faith tells us "Men are the protectors and maintainers of women" this does not mean women lack rights or are lesser. Men and Women are different, they are designed to compliment each other as a lock does a key, one without the other is useless. We must show our children that we hold our traditional faith values dear."
The meeting will take place at the Emir's Palace in the coming weeks.
