On the authority of Abu Sa`eed al-Khudree (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say:
”Whosoever of you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; and if he is not able to do so, then [let him change it] with his tongue; and if he is not able to do so, then with his heart — and that is the weakest of faith.” [Muslim]
What is it that one could say about Palestine that would upset right wingers, Islamophobes, and radical Zionists all at once?
Here’s a sampling:
—Hold the American Muslims who work with Zionist institutions accountable for their complicity in state terror.
—Individuals who leave the United States to volunteer with Daesh and/or the Israeli Defense Forces are one in the same.
—If we’re going to counter violent extremism, let’s start with those who support Apartheid Israel.
—Israel is a an apartheid, racist, terrorist state and it commits war crimes as a hobby.
—From the river to the sea, Palestine will InshaAllah be free.
Weeks later and they’re still mad but I’m saying it again. There are things that I’d say differently today, RTs I wouldn’t do, and verbiage I’d modify. That wouldn’t appease them though. They’re coming at me for nearly two decades of speaking out, not just a few bad RTs.
How dare I speak out against Apartheid Israel and for Palestine? Except that it’s my religious obligation and my safety and success are in the hands of the Most High.
There you have it. Now say it with me, “5, 6, 7, 8, Israel is a terrorist state...”
