The Islamic Relief here in Birmingham is indeed involve in raising
fund to assist refugees in Iraq. The one I am aware of is being
conducted under the banner of KURDISH APPEAL. I understand that they
have produced posters/leaflets which have been distributed to various
mosques, muslim/islamic centres, islamic organisations/societies,
schools/universities etc in and around Birmingham requesting people
to donate generously. Our islamic society did received a few of such
leaflets/posters which as usual is distributed during friday prayers.
Furthermore collection boxes have been distributed to mosques in and
around Birmingham. Here at Aston University one is put out every
friday and people are requested to donate generously. I am told that
the donations(monetary,material or otherwise) are collected and
collated regularly and any time they are enough to by the much needed
materials some of their men are send to deliver them. Furthermore I
understand that two of their men will be leaving(or have left) for
Iraq(Turkey?) this week. Thats about all I know about the Islamic
Relief's efforts in raising fund to assist refugees in Iraq. Perhaps
other brothers and sisters in Birmingham know more.

If you are interested in a copy of the leaflet then let me have your
postal address so that I can post it to you, however if you want more
then I will advise that you contact the Islamic Relief(see below for
address/tel/fax). For your benefit I have reproduce(though not
entirely/exactly) below the contents of the leaflet.

As regards to the Muslim Aid I really don't know what they are doing.
I am also not aware that our society has received any of their fund
raising leaflets/posters if at all there is any. I will advise that
you contact Islamic Relief for information in this regard.

Wa'assalam,
Sarki.
