New York Muslims call for Ramadan boycott of public officials who haven't called for ceasefire

Muslim organisations in New York are calling on their local mosques and spaces this Ramadan to not invite - or decline invitations from - any elected official who has not called for a ceasefire in the war on Gaza.

In New York City, Majlis Ash-Shura - Islamic Leadership Council of New York released a statement saying that they found the silence of local and national political leaders to be “profoundly disappointing”.

“It is in this context that we assert a definitive stance: our mosques must be bastions of worship and communal comfort, untouched by the tumult of worldly affairs, particularly during these critical times of spiritual observance,” the statement read.
