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.
hell yeah 🔥🔥🔥
This could be pretty bad…
120 years too late
What do you mean 120 years. Israel is less than 80 years old.
They starting colonizing in the 19th century dawg.
what would your plan have been 120 years ago?

obviously
48 67 and 72 didn’t happen
Finally
Last time they issued a fatwa was in 2017 in response to Larry David’s hit play “Fatwa!”
I mean yeah
A jihad against the Zionist Entity is a jihad I can get behind.
Meanwhile every Muslim country government bar Yemen: Nah, I don’t really feel like it
I’d say Iran and Hizbollah in Lebanon haven’t exactly ignored the situation either, and have paid a fairly heavy price themselves thus far.
It’s very surprising, but it’s due to larger forces at play.
The larger forces at play:
Lol I was thinking the whole western world accepting all Israeli transgressions against international law, and rewarding her with political shielding, vetos, and their own citizens tax money… And double standards.
No where in the world is it acceptable to use a military against unarmed civilians with sustained force. But Israel gets her pass… Why?

In yemen the houthis (aka not the government) is willing to do anything, the actural government only makes statements and votes in the UN while taking no real action.
The Houthis are Yemeni government.

They have their own government, with its own policies, and de facto recognised territory.
The continued application of military force by the U.S.-backed Presidential Leadership Council, and capitulation to U.S. hegemony leading some member states of the U.N. to attempt to delegitimise them, cannot change the reality of the situation.
Gee, I never would have guessed that would be a result of Israel’s actions in Gaza.
So turns out their religion is as much hypocritical BS as christianity or any other.
All of the abrahamic religions are pretty awful.
Whats hypocritical about calling for people to fight back against genocide?
Defending the weak and oppressed is a core pillar of Islam. Its not hypocritical .
Terms and conditions may apply.
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.
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.
Bruh, it’s an Abrahamic religion, of course it’s hypocritical.
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?
Yeah thats definitely the here you freak
What are you talking about you stupid cracker
Calm down scholar there isn’t even a religious leader for islam anymore
When Muslims go to Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia, they pay to kill kids in Gaza. Those bomb dropping airplanes are not EV.
Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Jordan, Eygpt, and Morocco these six in particular paid actual money, intresected missiles toward Israel, fought the Houthies blockade, and contributed with military intellegence and weapons , and made new air/sea/land routes for trade that kept Israel genocide for 17+ months.The Saudis are separately at war in Yemen and against the Houthis and have been since I think 2015.
The Houthis have just endured a decade of fighting a US backed coalition, which isbwhy they’ve become increasingly capable of expanding their operations to interfere with shipping lanes unrelated to their direct civil war.
MIC knows it must sustain war and conflict and will always play all sides to keep the orpham crushing machine going.
If it stops, or even threatens to slow, well… stonks go down faster than any tarriff effect.

Muslims: we should defend Palestinians.
You: look at these stupid brown people thinking they have the right to defend themselves against the civilized white man.
How do you propose they get rid of the occupation. Flowers?
Calling on to review their peace treaty - says the scholars of the Religion of Peace.
Lets hope they can bring peace to the region. The secularists sure won’t.
Muftis (and scholars) occupy a prominent position in Islam but their departments often sit within the state. They owe their existence to the state governments they’re in. Even if this decree carries weight among muslim communities where fatwas are often studied to their minute detail, respective muslim governments ultimately have the final say on whether they’re willing to adopt their decree. With leaders like MBS and others, I doubt there’s real appetite for change even if the fatwa in question is in line with traditional islamic laws.
Exactly what Israel wants. Religious people should be closed in prison islands to let them kill each other.
Israel wants people to… Fight back against the genocide they are committing?
A religious cult wants another religious cult that it got labeled as unstable terrorists all over the western world to do the one thing that triggers everyone to think that terrorists attacks will escalate potentially all over the world and that therefore action against Muslim countries and governments is required, because of at least 24 years of pedantic racist propaganda.
I know the details follow no logic but it’s religious people governing all over Israel, USA and the Arab countries: no logic to be found there.
No, Israel wants them to be quiet and do nothing while they eviscerate their cities and kill their citizens.
Maybe you should be locked up somewhere for your gross views that generalize millions of people and wishes to “let them kill each other”.
Things decent people say, surely.
There is no reason for the Muslim-majority countries to react with a religious argument instead of strong and even violent political and civil action.
Israel needs Hamas and other Islamist groups to legitimate their actions.
I lived 41 years on this Earth, born a Catholic, always been fascinated by religious difference as a child, only to see religious people being always at the root of the biggest scandals, massacres and inhuman actions in the world.
Religions are the most common and ancient method with which elites split humanity in groups and pit them against each other for their own gain, apart from being used to exploit young, disabled and other vulnerable people to gain money, power or force them to sexual acts and other atrocities.
An inquisitive rational person who is also genuinely religious defies all of my experience and any logic argument that I know can be thrown at it.
