Problem Statement

Two circles ω1\omega_1 and ω2\omega_2 touching externally at point LL are inscribed into angle BACBAC. Circle ω1\omega_1 touches ray ABAB at point EE, and circle ω2\omega_2 touches ray ACAC at point MM. Line ELEL meets ω2\omega_2 for the second time at point QQ. Prove that MQALMQ\parallel AL.
