					<description><![CDATA[It is important to realize that taking part in such activities has the potential, as reflected in these responses, to divide Muslims.
It is also important to remember that leadership is derived by the people, so to tell them they should not question their leaders is not right. The moment that the community decides that any of the imams above have crossed the line, they may question such actions and may even leave their mosques and platforms. Who will they preach to then? What power will they have?
We also need the attention to be on the issue of Palestine and to pay attention to the way the issue of the Holocaust is politically played, sometimes through the guise of interfaith.
All I am urging is caution and as much consensus and critique as we can respectfully engage in, to keep our community united.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Inshallah, may this be a great opportunity and learning event for all of you. I think we all grow as an ummah when our scholars gain in their perspective and experiences.

We also have to learn to keep events and issues separate. The holocaust was an event that hasn&#039;t been matched in its magnitude, and just because an injustice is committed on our brothers/sisters, doesn&#039;t change the original nature of the holocaust. That is, let&#039;s keep the two injustices separate. As the other video made an important point of, injustice cannot defeat or used to justify another injustice and it goes both ways.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As Salamu Alaikum,

I agree with the last comment. I just think people are frustrated because the holocaust is frequently used as a justification for what is going on in Palestine.
Brother Suhaib, I love you for the sake of Allah, and while I love his site (I check it every day :)), I think it may be just to have a post on what goes on in Palestine, what our outlook towards it as Muslims should be-I don&#039;t recall seeing any posts on the topic lately.
That said, I&#039;d just like to use this opportunity to say jazakum Allahu khairan for Summer Nights. May Allah reward the efforts of those involved and keep you all safe.

					<description><![CDATA[May Allah reward all of those who took the time to actually go and experience this and I pray that it will be brought back to our communities and lessons will be derived and shown to us.

Sometimes we get so caught up in cultural baggage that we forget the true meaning of justice. Years ago a huge dhulm was place upon these people and their memories should be respected, their dignity honored, and their deaths should be saddening to any kind hearted person. Growing up around people who did deny the holocaust and hate that it is being taught in our schools here in America, I believe that it is high time that such a statement was made.

We have to realize that there is not a relationship between those who died in the Holocaust and those who are killing in the Palestinian tragedy today.  Yet we get so defensive, as if our denying of the holocaust will bring justice to the situation we are in today. We have to start realizing that Justice is Religion blind. If we don&#039;t start accepting and learning from the past then the past will simply be reborn and relived. If we feel badly about what is going on in our Ummah today, then we should make du`aa and find a way to have this stopped...denying the tragedy of others will simply further our own tragedy.

Barak Allahu Feekum Shiukh!]]></description>

Asalamu alaykum,

Dear person,

You have used the above verse in the wrong context. Please be more careful in the future as such mistakes with the Words of Allah are not so simple. Kindly refer to any major book of tafsir for the correct context. Secondly, you reflect the sickness that exists in the chests of some, hatred and ill respect for their leaders. We had a number of very strong scholars with us on that trip- if there was something wrong or evil, they would not have encouraged nor gone.

					<description><![CDATA[Assalamualaykum,

I would like to ask for clarification on this statement: &quot;We condemn any attempts to deny this historical reality and declare such denials or any justification of this tragedy as against the Islamic code of ethics.&quot; What, or who, was this statement referring to? Has there been any type of &quot;Holocaust Denial&quot; prevalent within our community?]]></description>
