Salams all

sorry if my point above was misunderstood- i didn’t mean that demonstrations are useless. i should have clarified the point better. properly organised demonstrations are very effective in raising issues- i have travelled accross the UK to attend such demonstrations- there are many benefits including raising awareness, showing the palestinians/iraqs oppressed around the world who have tv that we trying to help, being united in good.

i was just saying that its important that we do not chant anti-US or anti- UK slogans- as these are counter productive.

Jazak Allah kahyr bros Yahya and Suhaib

What’s strange is that in most cirlces in the muslim world, communities. etc. No one actually adresses the “Why” aspect of the Palestinian issue or any other issue of hardship, suffering,famine, etc. If we addressed why Allah tests us with these things and realize that the hardships we face individually, or as an ummah are a result of our sins. Allah says,. “dhahar al fasad fi albarri wa albahr bi ma kasabat aydi naas li yudhiqahum ba’da aladhi ‘amiluu l’alahum yarji’uun”. “Corruption has appeared throughout the land and sea by what the hands of people have earned so He (Allah) may let them taste part of (the consequence of) what they have done, perhaps they will return.” (Rum)Also, Allah says, “ma asaabatkum min museebatin fa bima kasabat aydikum” “And nothing befalls you (from calamities) except by reason of what your hands have reaped.” Also, Allah says “aw wa lamma asaabatkum museebatun qad asabtum mithlayha, qultum annaa hadha, qul huwa min endi anfusikum. Inna Allah ala kulli shayin qadeer.” “Why (is it that) when a (single) disaster struck you (on the day of Uhud), although you had struck (the enemy in the battle of Badr) with one twice as great, you said, “from where is this?” Say, “It is from yourselves (i.e. due to your sin)” Indeed Allah is over all things competent. Aaal ‘Imran 167 So we see a pttern in these ayahs that Allah has explained that hardships and calamities are a RESULT OF SINS, not evil kuffar governments or muslim complacency, or lack of political involvement.. Based on that, it would a lot more benficial for us to reflect and rectify the deficiencies we have individually, communally, nationally, and as an umma. If every muslim looked at what is going on in Palestine as a result of HIS sins and shortcomings and then made tawba, it would be alot more beneficial then blaming the Jews or complaining to some complacent politician who doesn’t care.

Dear Fakhra,
As-Salamu alaikum,

Don’t worry they are not getting away with anything. That is why we have recompense on the day of judgment. Allah is just simply allowing them a time until they meet him. And then… wal-eyaathu billah

“Going to protests, writing letters to representatives, and putting up posters are useless. Furthermore, they are arguably counter-productive because they give us the illusion of doing something useful about the situation” (Struggle)

engaging in the political process is very important and this is where muslims get it wrong. we do not engage in very much at a strategic level so we just complain about everything when it doesn’t go our way. I don’t go to protests very much because I have had experiences where certain groups turn up and start shouting very offensive and innapropriate anti-UK anti-USA slogans and they do not reflect my views, nor are they islamic .

we should not compromise our deen, and we shoudl contribute to society in a positive way- then we will have a voice.

yes we should not be materialistic- more important than that- we should remember Allah in all that we do, and increase in our dua, worship and charity (i remind myself first).

One thing I wanted to add is that we should be asking what the leaders of the arab countries are doing- nothing!

I have seen at protests that UK and USA governments are verbally attacked for not doing anything, whilst arab leaders are glad that noone has noticed that they are doing jack-all while their fellow muslims are being slaughtered. we need to look at our selves, our own people, before we can attack others. why do the muslim leaders not come to the defense of their brothers and sisters- why do that not call for sanctions on Israel and do whatever they can to stop this situation and free the palestinians from 60 years of oppression. Forget UK and USA- we cannot expect them to come to our defense- they are the ones that supply the weapons. In Lebanon 2006, whilst UK “condemned” Israeli attacks, they also flew out the cluster bombs to Israeli from Heathrow Airport and tried to hide it.

We should be holding so called muslim governments to question- what are they doing?

I have spent much of the day reading Israeli newspapers and BBC and Sky News to get the oppinions on what is happening in Palestine. I am so shocked at the articles posted in the Israeli newspapers and the biased views of the news here in the UK.

Also, my family in Palestine were telling me about 2 weeks ago that Israel were going to attack Palestine because elections are comming up in February and the present government want to show they are hardline. Then I read an article in the Jerusalem Post which says that Israel have 2 motives for starting these attacks. Firstly, the current Government were loosing oppionion polls and BN Yahu was winning as he had promised a aggressive strategy with Palestine. Now, since saturday the Government have had greater support and the opionion polls are very close. Secondly, Israel feel that Obama is not as supportive of their cause as Bush is, so they wanted to launch an offensive before Obama takes office. Although (as i said in a previous posting) Obama was so pro-Israel when he gave his speech to Israli lobby- he said that he supported a israeli state with an unshared capital of Jerusalem- he was litterally kissing their backside (sorry).

Also, I do belive that Hamas being in power is not the best thing. They lack communication skills and they are not willing to engage in the political process, which then leaves the non-muslim world thinking that Palestinians don’t want peace. Hamas make people feel that muslims hate all jews- and this is wrong- we want the palestinians to have equal rights. at the moment they get 6 hours of electricity a day, about an hour of running water (then they fill up tankers and keep them for the rest of the day) and schools are often closed because they can’t guarantee the children’s safety due to attacks from Israel. the University has now been hit too.

I pray that Allah brings justice to all

Fi amanillah

I am so shocked that Israel is getting away with this and how America and England r just sitting back and letting it all happen. This is a Genocide masses of palestinians are being killed everyday. America, England and other powerful countries need to wake up and smell the coffee!! us muslims need to do everything in our power to stop this especially protests, writing letters to leader’s, donating money to our brother’s and sister’s and last but not least Dua to Allah swt. Please muslims lets try and raise loads of awareness, dont give up! they need us, lets put ourselves in there shoes, at least we have warmth, security food and water

what have they got?
