Newsroom: IMPACT-SE European Tour - November 2009
 |
|
IMPACT-SE set out in November 2009 on a two-week tour to the
UK, Belgium and Germany with the dual goals of raising awareness
and demonstrating to European parliamentarians, policymakers,
media and public the true
nature of Hamas and its anti-Western, anti-Israeli and anti-Semitic
ideology, in order to counter calls in Europe for dialog and
engagement with the movement. In addition, IMPACT-SE set out
to promote the Tunisian
schoolbooks and their educational approach as a potential
positive role model for other Arab and Muslim countries.
IMPACT-SE presented its findings at the British House of
Commons, the European Parliament, and at a number of universities
and research institutes, and held a successful press conference
in Berlin which received very positive and extensive coverage.
The goals of the tour were thus achieved at the political,
academic and media/public opinion levels. Sheikh Dr. Muhammad
Al- Hussaini, who presented alongside IMPACT-SE team in London,
and former jihadist and present-day Muslim reformer Dr. Tawfik
Hamid, who was invited by IMPACT-SE to join its team in Brussels
and Germany, contributed greatly to the success of the events
and the interest shown in them by policymakers, civil society
and the press.
