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.
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.
Sure, let’s put murder upon murder.
Yes, I fully understand why this fatwa is put out hut please remember that these are bad things. Teonbaf things don’t cancel eachother out, they just make two bad things.
How about you putting a fatwa on Netanyahu specifically? And the tip leaders of Israel, perhaps, hut leave the rest alone
Seriously, if you want to stop the violence, put leaders of both Israel and Hamas against a wall and have both groups be led to peace by actual reasonable people
"how about declaring war against Hitler specifically? And the top leaders of Germany, perhaps, but leave the rest alone.
Seriously, if you want to stop the violence, put leaders of both Germany and Jewish partisan organizations against a wall and have both groups be led to peace by actual reasonable people"
This could be pretty bad…
I’m sure Western News will report on this in a completely fair, unbiased, and reasonable way, of course.
Yes because as we know western media is known for having a fair and unbaised view whenever a native people fight back against a foreign military occupation. Especially when said resistance is supported by a non Christian people who also dont fit the arbitrary definition of white.

Death to Israel
Is that “unbiased” enough for you?
Muslim scholars are calling on fellow Muslims to fight back against genocide.
The problem is that they are scary words like “futwa” and “jihad” and, in the West, this language is seen as uncivilized and barbaric.
Orientalism, in other words.
I mean at this point if you have seen what Israel has done, unfiltered by the media, then there is almost nothing that will shake people out of their views. If you support Israel after knowing that they purposefully shell hospitals and children, then you will most likely keep supporting Israel no matter what. Same goes for those who oppose Israel and it’s genocide.

Right, but whether or not it’s disputed outside of Lemmy doesn’t change the fact that it’s a genocide. The only people who don’t think it’s a genocide are those in favor of the genocide and the genuinely uninformed/propagandized.

neutrality in the face of oppression is just siding with the oppressor for cowards. you’re either against genocide or you’re for it. your position here is clear.
So in your opinion, calling this genocide is biased.

The unbiased take is that it’s a genocide
“Unbiased” does not mean “statistical mean”.
If
1 + 1 = 2, then it equals two irrespective of anyone’s opinion on the matter.But zeroth of all, there is no such thing as an unbiased take, because no one is without bias.
Well, I hope we can agree that genocides have occurred in history. Putting this article aside, how do you propose a genocide be reported on as it’s occurring without being biased?
Not sure what your translation says, fatwa or not doesn’t really matter or do shit for the Palestinians.
But I do know MEE is a UK based garbage source.I think for now most objective would be “actions consistent with genocide” and war crimes. That being said most prominent human rights organizations do classify it as genocide. Here i think bias was referring to nonfactual reporting, so translations or what some people dispute bears no value.
120 years too late
48 67 and 72 didn’t happen
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
Last time they issued a fatwa was in 2017 in response to Larry David’s hit play “Fatwa!”
Meanwhile every Muslim country government bar Yemen: Nah, I don’t really feel like it
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.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supreme_Political_Council
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.
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?
$
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.
Finally
Fuck all religious leaders. Free Palestine. Religious leaders can suck my ass.
I mean yeah
hell yeah 🔥🔥🔥
Can’t say that I blame them.
Gee, I never would have guessed that would be a result of Israel’s actions in Gaza.
The military industrial complex is counting on it
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.
