Imams call to help Iraqis
By Malai Hassan Othman 

Mosque leaders yesterday called on Muslim followers here to come forward to help their Muslim brethren in Iraq who are facing great difficulties. "We as followers of the same faith are all brothers in Islam. Therefore as brothers we could not help but feel the pain our innocent Muslim brothers in Iraq are now experiencing.

"Their nation has been destroyed and their economy is now in ruin," said the Imams in their Friday sermon.

"We therefore must come forward and give donations to ease their sufferings," urged the mosque leaders.

The Imams said donation boxes are now being placed in all mosques and suraus in the country as an effort to raise money to help the innocent Iraqis.

They said other initiatives are also being taken nationwide for the same noble purpose.
