distinguish2 the World Muslim Congress , recipient of the 1987 Niwano Peace Prize The World Islamic Congress convened in Jerusalem from the 7 December until 1 30 p.m. on the 17 December 1931. It was attended by 130 delegates from 22 Muslim countries. The Congress called on Muslim states to avoid trade with the Jew ish community in Palestine . The Congress was called at the behest of Mohammad Amin al Husayni , the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem , and Shawkat Ali , leader of the Indian Caliphate Committee. Ostensibly the Congress was called to consider a proposal to establish a University at the Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem as a centre of Islam ic scholarship, an idea which the leaders of the prestigious Al Azhar University in Cairo opposed. However, the Congress was viewed widely as an attempt by the mufti to enhance his prestige in advance of a bid for the office of caliph . This position had remained vacant since a Pan Islamic Congress in Mecca in 1926 had failed to agree on a suitable candidate to replace Hussein bin Ali, Sharif of Mecca King Hussein of Hejaz . A rival clan of the Husaynis, the Nashashibi s, helped to ensure that the mufti was unsuccessful in his bid for the caliphate . Following the election of Husayni as president of the Congress the agenda was arranged as follows Holy Places and the Buraq wall the University of Names of Jerusalem Masjid al Aqsa Al Masjid el Aksa the Hejaz railway Hejaz Railway the furtherance of Muslim teaching and culture Publications Constitution of the Muslim Congress Resolutions The Congress resolved that Zionism is ipso facto an aggression ... of Muslim land and Muslem Holy Places .

The President and executive director of the 1999 event was Brian Gabriel Comeaux of Lafayette, LA. The third congress, in 2004, was held jointly by several Nova Scotia communities in the ancestral Acadie region and celebrated the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the first French speaking settlers in Canada. As in the previous gatherings, musical festivals and theatrical productions displayed Acadian culture, and academics debated the meaning of Acadia in the 21st century. Debates included the best ways of preserving Acadian culture in an overwhelmingly English area, and what exactly an Acadian is in 2004. Some Acadians in the Maritimes do not recognize more recent immigrants as true Acadians. There was also a debate about whether the descendants of Acadians, who do not speak French, qualify see Chiac language .
