أستراليا: الدعاة يسعون للتغلب على العزلة لدى شباب المسلمين

خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

أكد الشيخ "علي قدري" - إمام مسجد مدينة "بريزبن" عاصمة ولاية "كوينزلاند" في "أستراليا" - أن خبرته في العمل الدعوي خلال الأعوام الماضية كشفت أن شباب المسلمين يشعرون بالعزلة والتهميش؛ مما يدفعهم للوقوع فريسة للدعاية أو الممارسات السلبية، ولذلك يسعى في فترة عمله المقبلة لمحاولة تشجيع الشباب المسلم على الانخراط والشعور بأنهم جزء من المجتمع.

وأكد أن دوره سيكون إيصال مظالم المسلمين إلى الجهات الحكومية المسؤولة، والتعاون على إيجاد حلول لمشكلاتهم، وأنه يرغب في جعل المسجد جزءًا من الشخصية الأسترالية، ووضعه في مكانته التي يستحقها في المجتمع؛ المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

Alienation” Troubles Aussie Young Imam

Seeing new anti-terror laws as further alienating Muslim youth, Brisbane’s newest mosque president has lamented that young Muslims no longer feel part of Australia, highlighting efforts by mosque leaders to integrate younger generations.

“From my experiences of the past two or three years, I have come to the conclusion that in most cases young people, especially young Muslim boys, don’t feel part of Australia,” Ali Kadri, 33, told The Courier-Mail on Thursday, October 23.

“They feel marginalized and alienated and that leaves them susceptible to all kinds of negative propaganda or negativity, whether it be extremism, or drug abuse or crime.”

Kadri, the youngest president elected to the Holland Park mosque, said he wanted to make young Muslim boys feel part of Australia.

He added that the only solution to the increasing radicalization of Muslim youth was to “engage with them, and make them feel part of this beautiful country”.

“In that way, we are turning their energy into something very positive for our society,” he said.

Kadri’s woes were expressed after the release of a video last Tuesday showing a man with an Australian accent is shown holding a rifle and wearing military clothing.

Kadri said his aim was to “take up the grievances” of young Muslims in his community with “relevant government agencies”.

“What happens with a lot of these young boys is that they don’t know who to go to with their problems, so I want to be like a conduit and take up their cases with the local MPs, or government agencies to try to make them feel heard and perhaps find solutions to their problems.
