What interest does Jamaat-e-Islami’s Sirajul Haq have in a far-off conflict that has nothing to do with Pakistan? It’s all about Islam, the one aspect of the conflict that is as central as it is universally ignored (except by Muslim leaders).
“‘Palestine will be freed through jihad, not a mock resolution,’” The News International, May 24, 2021:
A large number of people attended the Jamaat-e-Islami’s Palestine March on Sunday on the appeal of party chief Sirajul Haq to express solidarity with the people of Palestine and to condemn the murders of Palestinians by Israeli forces.
Addressing the rally at Sharea Faisal, Haq said that the participation of a large number of residents of Karachi in the march showed that their hearts beat with the Palestinians’. “The enthusiasm shown by men, women and children is invaluable.”
Rejecting the impression that the concept of Muslim Ummah has failed, he said that tens of thousands of people in Pakistan, Turkey, Afghanistan and other Muslim countries took to streets to express solidarity with Palestinians.
Haq said that Muslims all over the world, including those in Istanbul, Jakarta, Kabul, Baghdad, Morocco and Tunisia, are awake. “The hearts of the Ummah beat with the Palestinians’, but the Muslim rulers have become slaves of America.”
The JI leader dedicated the Palestine March to the issues of Muslims across the world. He said he had messaged senior Palestinian leader Ismail Haniyeh that he shared the ownership of each and every casualty in Palestine. He also vowed to avenge each and every martyr’s death.
Haq said that soon after the Israeli aggression, he had approached Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi, urging him to mobilise the Muslim world against Israel. He made it clear that the OIC’s mere condemnation and lip services are unacceptable. He demanded that the Muslim world reconsider their diplomatic relations with Israel.
The JI chief also censured those countries condemning Israel who are directly responsible for the very establishment of and offering undue favours to the Zionist regime. He said that Palestinians have proved that the path of the Mujahideen cannot be blocked by oppression and violence. He also said that the passion of the martyrs cannot be stopped.
“The martyrs of Palestine are our martyrs,” said the JI leader, adding that Israel cannot defeat Hamas. “Palestine will be free through jihad, not a mock resolution.” He said that Arab rulers support Palestinians, and Muslims need to form their own army. He also said that when the Indian army can enter Srinagar and the Israeli army can enter the holy land, why do Muslim forces not do the same….

Pakistan Islamic party top dog: ‘Palestine will be free through jihad,’ but ‘Muslim rulers are slaves of America’
…………….
Yes, this is all about Jihad.
And note the idea that any Muslim leader who is not actively slaughtering Americans is a “slave” of that nation. This is how pious Muslims think–I use the term loosely, of course…

Palestine will be free through jihad, but jihad will be crushed. Awwwww!

In Pakistan you still have a lot of old style guys, that have a frame of mind that contains the Islam around it’s start. The most well know is Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), hillbillies that were able to inflict a lot of terror, like their brothers, the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Their old style forces are great though, that the people that eagerly want to develop Pakistan further, start to kow-tow more and more to them. At the moment a nationwide madrassafication program is initiated in Pakistan. On the other hand, an estimated 50% of Pakistani women are illiterate, and it might be the only way they are allowed to receive at least some education.
When I say “old style guys”, in Western Europe we recently have learned what that meant.
No matter how academics label them, that is the way biologists carefully determine species, resulting in grouping them as Islamism followers, Islamic extremists, Jihadists, terrorists, and so on, once these guys get activated, you are in great trouble. France is an example. The country had to mobilize a great part of it’s army, not for an outside threat, but for a couple of activated “old style” followers of Islam.
And the great Pasha Erdogan that Invoked these forces during the destruction of Syria, showed how mighty this intense evil is, looking how activated ISIS and ISIS like slaughterhouse forces are.
So the problem that Israel faces is not a mere problem of how to solve the land question. Palestine has been divided into two states already, into Jordan and Israel. The two states exist already.
No there are other problems.
Muslim leaders have a problem with the old style forces themselves, though this problem is of an ambiguous nature. They like to invoke the forces to gain power, but in the mean time these forces are often at the same time a threat within their own society, to such an extent that the forces might destroy the Muslim leader himself.
The second problem is that Jews are no Muslims, and traditionally Mohammed united the lands under only one acceptable religion, Islam, as one can witness today in most Islam nations and areas, so Jews do not belong in that region according to Islam principles. This problem is related to the holy sides, of which only one counts according to Mohammedan principles, and that is the Mohammedan one.

OLD GUY says
Top dog is right , he’s a real BITCH. This islamic clown wants evert muslim country to be killing Americans. When and what will have to happen to get our political leaders to recognize that open borders to muslim/islamic people is the same as allowing an enemy invasion of your country. Just look at the UK and European countries that have allowed these haters and murders to gain a foothold in their countries and political systems.

So called ‘Palestinians’ can be as free as they want to be but currently they are prisoners of Islam. If they get rid of Islam they will be free.

islam is like a cancer that once implanted, will destroy its host, just like the Scorpion hitching a ride on the back of a Frog.
I dont know of any other religion that openly teaches hate towards those not of that faith, and islam sure has a handle on the hate category as they wish death to everybody on Earth if they do not convert to their Fascist Religious Cult.
What puzzles me is why are those Of The Left falling over themselves to defend a religion that despises their very existence… Its very confusing for me to see young Western females speaking up for muslim men, while denigrating every single Catholic Priest, not that the Priests should be defended, but why would they play it against muslims?.
What an upside down World we live in today.
