Several prominent Muslim scholars have issued a rare religious decree or “fatwa”, calling on all Muslims and Muslim-majority countries to wage “jihad” against Israel after 17 months of devastating war against Palestinians residing in the besieged enclave.
Ali al-Qaradaghi, the secretary general of the International Union Of Muslim Scholars (IUMS), an organisation previously led by Yusuf al-Qaradawi, called on all Muslim countries on Friday “to intervene immediately militarily, economically and politically to stop this genocide and comprehensive destruction, in accordance with their mandate”.
“The failure of the Arab and Islamic governments to support Gaza while it is being destroyed is considered by Islamic law to be a major crime against our oppressed brothers in Gaza,” he said in the decree comprising some 15 points.
Qaradaghi is one of the region’s most respected religious authorities and his decrees carry significant weight among the world’s 1.7bn Sunni Muslims.
Defending the weak and oppressed is a core pillar of Islam. Its not hypocritical .
Bruh, it’s an Abrahamic religion, of course it’s hypocritical. I
Terms and conditions may apply.
Yet only Yemen really does it and countries like Saudi Arabia or UAE are in bed with Israel. How many of muslim (sunni i guess since it was sunni fatwa) majority countries will follow this fatwa?
Everything is a core pillar of islam depending on if you are trying to promote the religion of peace, drink beer and eat bacon, take slaves or stone a child to death for being raped.
I do forget there are Americans from the dark ages here sometimes.
Yeah like every religion has never been used to justify literally anything. Saying the fucking religim that treats women like shit and kills lbtq people has “protecting the weak” as a core pillar is same as saying musk did an awkward gesture and his points on twitter make sense. It’s lying with an agenda.
Sorry, bigot, your talking points from October 2001 don’t really fly in the rest of the world.
Do women suddenly not wear burqas and they are allowed to go outside, drive cars, own property in all the muslim countries that are not westernized and are therefor closest to true islam? Hows the gay communities doing there?
This has nothing to do with israel genociding a weak group they have not managed to assimilate or make diplomatic deals with for decades.
This is anout you claiming islam protects the weak, which it does as much as russia or israel.
Its a woman’s choice in most non westernized Muslim countries, those countries, incidentally, containing a minority of Muslims.
Incidentally westernized Muslims countries tend to have the harshest restrictions, like Saudi Arabia.
As far as gay communities it, like it always does, depends on local culture. Pakistan officially recognizes transgender women; Saudi, the West’s darling, stones gay people. Iran has multiple gay organizations that are recognized by the state, and Sudan was influenced by Christians so they really hate the gays. As it turns out different people and cultures believe different things regardless of religion.
Almost like people are people, you bigoted fuck.
Islam is a religion of peace, and does explicitly promote protecting the weak and doing charity. Its a large reason why Jews were safe in Palestine for centuries before zionist decided to hijack the region.
If bigots like you didn’t exist, maybe we could move on from demonizing 1/8th of humanity and start to deal with the actual problems you mentioned.
Oh I absolutely agree other abrahamic religions are also cancer upon this world, like most religious states stripping women of their rights based on some sky torture daddy.
And yet the religion itself isn’t the reason for that and most religious people don’t support that. They outnumber you, and most people you have ever interacted with or looked up to were religious, just statistically speaking.
I’m sorry you’re still at the edgy teen phase of your understanding of the world, but you’ll get it when you get past puberty.
So are they advocating to take in refugees?
Many have, but that’s the thing Israel is still committing genocide if Palestinians leave their home.
