The book "Migration and its Role in Settling Islam in Europe: Challenges of Coexistence and Integration, with Britain as a Model" by author Hamid Al-Hashimi is regarded as one of the scientific and practical works that discuss the issue of Muslim minorities. It serves as a reference for researchers and those interested in the struggles and experiences of Muslim minorities in the United Kingdom, as well as the means of coexistence with British society, especially in light of the growing "Islamophobia."

The author discusses the conditions of Muslims in Britain across several chapters, which are arranged in a manner that facilitates the reader's understanding of the nature of migration to Britain initially, before addressing the motivations that led to this migration. He then moves on to explore the challenges and obstacles that hinder integration with society in all its components.

The author speaks clearly in his book about the role of this migration in settling Islam in Europe, noting that non-Muslims in these countries have been influenced by members of the Muslim communities and their good morals. He also responds to the false claims of Orientalists about Islam, such as the assertion that Islam spread by the sword, clarifying with evidence that immigration and engaging with Muslims closely are among the reasons for understanding Islam in its correct form, far from the distortions of its haters.

If we wish to wander through the garden of this book, we will find that it is divided into 10 chapters, each highlighting an aspect of the suffering of Muslim minorities in Britain, while simultaneously showcasing the significant positive impact and good imprint that British Muslims have left on society.

The chapters of the book are structured as follows:

Chapter Ten:

In this chapter, the author discusses the positions of British political parties regarding issues of immigration, asylum, and integration, then addresses far-right parties, the motivations behind their emergence, and the acceptance of an agenda by certain segments of society, concluding with the stance of these parties on the topic of "Islamophobia."

 With the 401st day of the "Al-Aqsa Flood" operation underway, the occupation forces persist in intensifying their assault on the Gaza Strip, resulting in numerous civilian massacres, while clashes between the Palestinian resistance and the occupation forces continue on various fronts.

 New Massacre in Jabalia Leaves 36 Martyrs   

Today, Sunday, the town of Jabalia in northern Gaza witnessed a new massacre, where 36 civilians, including 15 children, were martyred as a result of the occupation's shelling of a house crowded with residents from the "Aloush" family. 

According to Palestinian sources, the house was completely destroyed, and several of its inhabitants are still missing under the rubble, while the injured were transferred to the Baptist Hospital.

 Three Bloody Massacres in 24 Hours   

According to statistics from the Ministry of Health in Gaza, the occupation has committed 3 new massacres in the past 24 hours, resulting in the martyrdom of 51 individuals and injuries to 164 others, including victims of the Abu Nasr family massacre in Beit Lahiya in the northern sector. 

The ministry noted that the total casualties since October 7, 2023, have reached 43,061 martyrs and 101,223 injured, revealing the scale of the escalating humanitarian disaster in the sector.

 Qatar Denies Closing Hamas Office

Regarding diplomatic efforts, the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs denied reports that it had withdrawn from the mediation file in Gaza and closed the Hamas office in Doha. 

Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majid Al-Ansari confirmed to the Qatari News Agency (QNA) that Qatar has informed the relevant parties of its readiness to resume mediation when the necessary seriousness to end the war is available, reiterating his country's stance against using mediation as a means of political coercion. 

Al-Ansari stated that Qatar had informed the parties 10 days ago, during the last attempts to reach an agreement, that it would suspend its mediation efforts between Hamas and Israel if no agreement was reached in that round. Moreover, Qatar added that it would resume those efforts with partners when the necessary seriousness to end the brutal war and the ongoing suffering of civilians due to the catastrophic humanitarian conditions in the sector is available. 

He added that “Qatar will be at the forefront of making every righteous effort to end the war and secure the return of hostages and prisoners.”

Al-Ansari confirmed that “Qatar will not accept that mediation becomes a reason for its coercion, as we witnessed since the collapse of the first truce and the women and children exchange deal, manipulation especially in retracting commitments that were agreed upon through mediation, and exploiting the ongoing negotiations to justify the continuation of the war for narrow political purposes.” 

He pointed out that reports concerning the future of the Hamas office in Doha are “inaccurate,” explaining that “the primary objective of having the office in Qatar is to serve as a communication channel between the concerned parties. This channel has achieved a cease-fire at several previous stages and contributed to maintaining calm leading up to the exchange of prisoners and hostages of women and children in November of last year.”

Al-Qassam Brigades Target Zionist Force in Beit Lahiya

In a significant field development, the Izzaddin al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced the execution of a zero-distance operation targeting a Zionist force consisting of 15 soldiers, using RPG shells and light weapons in the area west of Al-Shayma in northern Beit Lahiya. 

They also announced targeting two military vehicles with two “Yassin 105” and “Tandem” shells, and a military bulldozer with a “Thunder” explosive device near the Martyr Imad Akel Mosque in the middle of the Jabalia camp in northern Gaza. 

Al-Qassam clarified that they also targeted two military vehicles and a bulldozer in the middle of the Jabalia camp, indicating that members of the Zionist force suffered casualties, with some killed and others injured following clashes with them in the Al-Barakah area west of Beit Lahiya.

The Israeli extermination war on Gaza enters its 400th day amidst unprecedented living, humanitarian, and health conditions for nearly one million displaced people in the southern and central parts of the Strip, while northern Gaza experiences a real famine as the occupation continues to prevent aid from reaching it, in one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world.

Living under the weight of multi-front war

The residents of the Gaza Strip live under the weight of multi-front war and suffering that the world has failed to end or convince the Israeli occupation to alleviate the urgent humanitarian needs in Gaza, which has completely destroyed its infrastructure, leaving it without schools, universities, hospitals, electricity, or sewage networks.

Haq: 4650 massacres

According to the International Commission to Defend the Rights of the Palestinian People (Haq), the occupation has committed more than 4650 massacres against civilians during the war, most of whom were targeted inside their homes or in shelters during a campaign of forced displacement, which affected two million people, representing 90% of the total population of the Strip.

War crimes

The occupation has committed war crimes and human rights violations, including the regular use of Palestinian children and their families as human shields during battles, according to documents compiled by the Global Movement to Defend Children.

The occupation authorities have detained 5,000 prisoners from the Strip under the “Illegal Combatants” law, subjecting them to harsh physical and psychological conditions, and subjected them to various forms of torture and mistreatment, with some facing rape and sexual assault.

Workers in international and humanitarian organizations have not been spared from the fires of the occupation, which has killed around 200 employees, while convoys of aid have been attacked, many of which were destroyed. At least 184 journalists have been killed, many of whom were directly and deliberately targeted, and the infrastructure of most media institutions has been destroyed to prevent coverage of the violations and war crimes being committed.

10,000 missing persons

Data from the government media office has recorded 10,000 missing persons whose statuses are unknown, whether they are martyrs, prisoners, or buried under rubble.

A report from the United Nations revealed on Friday that women and children make up nearly 70% of the victims of the extermination war, whose martyrdom has been confirmed by the international agency between November 2023 and April 2024. According to the latest statistics released by the Ministry of Health in Gaza on Friday, the toll of the Israeli aggression has reached 43,552 martyrs and 102,765 injuries since October 7, 2023.

Food insecurity

Famine has ravaged the people of the Gaza Strip, and dozens of children and elderly individuals have died from severe hunger, while some have perished due to the lack of basic life and health care necessities. Meanwhile, residents continue to live without fuel or gas to help them cook the little food they have for their children, resorting to using wood and plastic despite the diseases and cancers it may cause. Reports indicate that many children have been born with deformities due to malnutrition.

Reuters reported that experts in global food security stated that the humanitarian situation in Gaza is extremely dire and deteriorating rapidly. They added that "there is a strong possibility that a famine is imminent in areas of northern Gaza."

The experts stressed the urgent need for immediate action within days, not weeks, from all parties involved in the Gaza war or those who have influence, in order to alleviate this catastrophic situation. They emphasized that "if effective action is not taken, the scale of this impending disaster will far exceed anything else we have seen in Gaza since October 7, 2023."

 Bombing of Displacement Centers

Throughout the 400 days of extermination, the occupation has not spared displacement shelters, with more than 1,200 citizens having been martyred due to the bombing of displacement and shelter centers in the Gaza Strip since the war began on October 7, 2023.

According to data from the government media, the occupation has targeted more than 185 centers for displacement and shelter, including 163 schools housing hundreds of thousands of displaced persons. The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor documented the Israeli occupation army targeting shelter centers 39 times last October, resulting in the martyrdom of 188 Palestinians and injuries to hundreds more.

The international system has failed over the 400 days of extermination to achieve the principles upon which it was founded, demonstrating a complete failure to stop the war or to deter the occupation army from implementing the generals' plan in northern Gaza. Residents have been living under a fire siege, both aerial and artillery, for 36 days, facing systematic starvation aimed at forcibly displacing them, all while the occupation continues to bomb three of its hospitals.

The spokesperson for the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), Kazem Abu Khalaf, confirmed that thousands of children in northern Gaza have been deprived of their right to vaccination against polio due to the blockade imposed by the Israeli occupation in the northern areas, and the aggression that has prevented all organizations from entering those areas.

Abu Khalaf noted that “delays mean an increased time interval between the first and second rounds of vaccination, which will affect the anticipated benefits of completing vaccinations in two rounds,” pointing out that more than 105,000 children have been deprived of the second phase of the polio vaccine.

 Collapse of the Healthcare System

Out of three hospitals (the Indonesian, Al-Awda, and Kamal Adwan hospitals) in the northern Gaza Strip, two have completely gone out of service.

Dr. Marwan Al-Hamss, the field hospitals manager in Gaza, confirmed that the northern hospitals have completely ceased operations due to systematic destruction from bombings, deprivation of water and food, arrests of doctors and nurses, bombing of ambulances, and the prevention of civil defense services from reaching the injured.

 In a remark to Al Jazeera Mubasher, Al-Hammas stated that the occupying forces have compelled numerous doctors to escape to Gaza City and are denying them re-entry to fulfill their medical responsibilities in hospitals located in northern Gaza. It equally declines to provide hospitals with fuel and medical resources. He characterized the circumstances at Kamal Adwan Hospital, the sole facility functioning with a restricted medical team, as disastrous, noting that they handle cases of starvation and malnutrition, asserting that the hospital cannot offer medical assistance for the rising number of injured, given that there are merely 5 doctors, none of whom are surgeons or possess surgical expertise.

No Hospitals in Rafah

Al-Hammas emphasized that the health situation in hospitals in central and southern Gaza is not much different. “In the city of Rafah, there is no hospital, and the wounded there receive treatment in a field hospital of the Red Cross in the Mawasi area of Rafah. As for Khan Younis, the Nasser Medical Complex, the European Gaza Hospital, and Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah are all filled with the wounded and are severely lacking in medical supplies and urgently need fuel.”

The government media official stated that the crime of ethnic cleansing and genocide being committed by the occupation in northern Gaza has claimed the lives of more than 1,800 martyrs, 4,000 injured, and hundreds missing, in addition to the destruction of residential neighborhoods, hospitals, and infrastructure. The occupation has turned many residential areas and gatherings in northern Gaza, especially the Jabalia camp and Beit Lahia town, into barren deserts and heaps of rubble. This military approach is based on a strategy of demolishing residential blocks and gatherings to alter the demographic and geographical shape of the area after the ongoing Israeli war for the second consecutive year, and to prevent resistance from regrouping in a closely-knit geographical area.

Dozens of video clips published by occupying soldiers on their pages and accounts on social media show moments of demolishing residential blocks, homes, and mosques, while they celebrate these actions. The Israeli occupation has not yet halted this method, indicating that it is a military tactic employed in the ongoing military operations for the second consecutive year.

  65% to 80% residential buildings destroyed

According to estimates, the destruction of buildings and residential gatherings by the occupation ranges between 65% and 80%, including total and significant partial destruction unfit for habitation, and partial destruction that can be restored, meaning that the Strip will need decades for reconstruction and to return to its pre-war state in Gaza.

The Gaza war has entered its 399th consecutive day amid ongoing Israeli bombardment across various parts of the strip, specifically in the northern areas, where nothing has been spared from the attacks. Speaking of the north, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, Hossam Abu Safiya, announced on Friday that Palestinian casualties are losing their lives in the town of Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza due to a lack of medical supplies and specialized doctors, a result of the massacre being perpetrated by Israel for over a year.

Meanwhile, a report published by the United Nations Human Rights Commission today revealed that women and children constituted about 70% of the thousands of martyrs from the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip, whose deaths were confirmed by the international body during the period between November 2023 and April of last year. The report discussed "the killings of civilians in Gaza that violate international law, often amounting to war crimes and crimes against humanity, and even genocide."

Additionally, the civil defense in Gaza announced that its teams recovered eight martyrs from a house targeted by Israeli bombing in the Al-Daraj neighborhood, east of Gaza City. The Ministry of Health in Gaza stated that the Israeli occupation committed three massacres in the strip, resulting in 39 martyrs and 123 injuries reaching hospitals in the past 24 hours. The ministry added that the toll of Israeli aggression has risen to 43,508 martyrs and 102,684 injuries since October 7, 2023.

UN: 70% of Gaza War Martyrs are Women and Children

A report published by the United Nations Human Rights Commission today revealed that women and children made up approximately 70% of the thousands of martyrs from the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip, whose deaths were confirmed by the international body during the period between November 2023 and April of last year. The report discussed "the killings of civilians in Gaza that violate international law, often amounting to war crimes and crimes against humanity, and even genocide."

3 Massacres in 24 Hours

The Ministry of Health in Gaza reported that the Israeli occupation committed three massacres in the strip, resulting in 39 martyrs and 123 injuries reaching hospitals within the past 24 hours. The ministry added that the toll of Israeli aggression has thus risen to 43,508 martyrs and 102,684 injuries since October 7, 2023.

Kamal Adwan Hospital: Victims are Losing Their Lives Due to Lack of Resources

The Director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, Hossam Abu Safiya, announced on Friday that Palestinian victims are losing their lives in Beit Lahiya, northern Gaza, due to a lack of medical supplies and specialized doctors, a result of the genocide being perpetrated by Israel for over a year.

Abu Safiya stated in a video clip published by the Ministry of Health in Gaza: "The situation is catastrophic in northern Gaza, the blockade continues, and with each day the number of injured who turn into martyrs increases due to a lack of resources and the absence of specialized surgical medical teams." He added, "The Israeli blockade on northern Gaza is deadly, as it prevents the entry of water, food, medicine, and medical aid." He continued: "The hospital provides services to the wounded with minimal resources amid the arrest by the Israeli army of specialized medical staff and the shortage of health supplies."

Abu Safiya urged the countries of the world and human rights organizations to "stand by the health system in Gaza and work to allow medical supplies and delegations to enter to provide services amid the ongoing genocide."

Hamas Calls for Protests in Support of Gaza

Today, Friday, Hamas called on Palestinians in the West Bank and the Arab and Muslim world to take to the streets and squares in support of the Gaza Strip, which has been subjected to Israeli genocide and ethnic cleansing for more than a year.

A leader in the movement, Mahmoud Mardawe, stated in a statement: "Palestinians in the West Bank must intensify their movement to support Gaza and the prisoners." Mardawe emphasized the "necessity of activists from around the world, especially in the Arab and Muslim world, to gather in every square and arena in defense of the Palestinian people's right to life and freedom." He added: "What is happening to the people of the Gaza Strip is a documented genocide, both in voice and image, and it calls for a widespread revolution to express the magnitude of the crime being committed against them by the Israeli occupation."

He continued: "The world, from east to west, with its peoples and institutions, is today facing a true humanitarian test regarding the crime of ethnic cleansing taking place in the Strip." Mardawe clarified that "the silence and complacency that has lasted for many months must come to an end, and everyone must send a clear message to (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu and his extremist government that Gaza is not alone."

As Gaza's war enters its second consecutive year and all political projects have failed to find a consensus formula guaranteeing the shape of the post-war period, an Egyptian proposal has emerged to form a joint Gaza Administration Committee between Fatah and Hamas to manage civil affairs for the population, particularly regarding reconstruction and relief efforts. Recently, there has been increased discussion about the possible issuance of a presidential decree by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to form the Gaza Administration Committee. However, optimism has waned after the recent meetings between Fatah and Hamas in Cairo ended without an agreement, resembling much of what took place during reconciliation meetings and dialogues since 2007.
