Imam believed that an Islamic approach to the issue of Palestine today is central to this. Moreover, an intense and thought provoking discussion are needed which must reflects on where we are and where we need to be and how to get there and what will happen if we don't. A must for every Muslim.
Once a reputed journalist asked Imam ... but how do we liberate Palestine if we encounter a general Muslim psychology that is not prepared to identify an enemy and then to take corrective measures against that enemy which will mean warfare and combatant duties - how do you do something like that?
He replied:
"The issue of the Jews is quiet separate from that of the Zionists, if the Muslims are victorious over the Zionists, the latter will meet the same fate as the deposed shah. However the Muslims will do nothing to the Jews for they are a nation like other nations, they will carry on with their lives and they will not suffer dispossession."
This comes as Israel launched the latest war against the blockaded Gaza Strip on July 8. More than 1,940 Palestinians, mostly civilians, have lost their lives and nearly 10,000 have been wounded in the Israeli military attacks.
