The Global Peace & Unity Event 2010
July 21, 2010 at 11:15 pm (Current Affairs, Islamic History, Islamist groups)
The GPU event this year is to be held on 23rd-24th October 2010. It promises to be a bigger and better event than the previous years.
Yusuf Estes and Dr. Zaghloul El-Naggar are already confirmed speakers according to the GPU twitter page: http://twitter.com/GPUEvent
My contacts at the GPU offices have told me that the following are also confirmed speakers:
Mr Mohammad Ijaz ul-Haq – (son of former Pakistan president Zia-Ul-Haq)
Hussain Yee – (Al-Khadeem)
Rabbi Yisroel David Weiss – (Neturei Karta International)
Yasir Qadhi – (Al-Maghrib Institute)
Rt Rev Riah Hanna Abu El-Assal – (Former Bishop of Jerusalem)
There are rumours that Dr Abu Rahman Al-Sudais may also attend as a speaker. The GPU team are also working on inviting Ministers and dignitaries from all major political parties to the event this year.
If the previous years are something to go by then I also expect the likes of George Galloway & Ken Livingstone to attend.
There are other speakers who are yet to be confirmed. I will update this post as soon as I hear more.
