It's almost impossible to quantify the loss suffered by the global Muslim community, indeed by the entire world, by the passing of his eminence Sheikh Yusuf Al-#Qaradawi
No one was more dedicated to finding peace & tolerance along with establishing justice than he.
His encyclopaedic knowledge, brilliant and open mind, appreciation of cultures and contexts, and courage in the face of adversity & immense challenges, Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi was easily one of the the most impactful & influential figures of the last century. #Qaradawi
Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi's most important contribution over the past 80 years, is his fight against extremism of all sorts, particularly religious, as well as against political oppression.
For that he came in for attacks, threats and imprisonment from all corners.
The adverse coverage and ban in the UK, US and many other countries because of his principled stand for justice, never led him to abandon what he saw as true and just.
His courage and fortitude inspired and will continue to inspire countless across the world.
ما حدث في #تونس يتطلب وقفة مراجعة من قبل كافة الأطراف لا سيما لأن تداعيات قرار قيس سعيد ستكون على المنطقة كلها.
وفي هذه السلسلة أطرح بعض الأفكار فيما يتعلق بقرار الانقلاب، والأطراف السياسية المختلفة والرئيس وحزب #النهضة وكذلك الشعب التونسي ١/
#تونس كانت أول محطة لموجة #الربيع_العربي، حيث أطاح الشعب التونسي بنظام بن علي الذي بقينا نكشف سرقاته ومؤامراته وتخابره مع أعداء تونس، لسنوات عدة لاحقة. إعلان بعض السذج حنينهم لذلك النظام، خيانة للشعب التونسي وتضحياته. ٢/
يخطئ من يظن أن الانقلاب الذي أقدم عليه قيس سعيد هو انقلاب على #النهضة، بل هو انقلاب على #تونس والشعب التونسي وقرار الشعب التونسي. الفرح به، هو مثل الذي يفرح باحتراق شقة جيرانه الذي يكرهه، بينما النار ستأتيه وتأتي أهله آجلا أم عاجلا. ٣/
As we approach the 73rd anniversary of the Palestinian #Nakba,
we must ask: what kind of world do we live in that fails to recognise a crime committed against an entire nation, and then fails to intervene as further crimes and violations are committed? #Palestine #Jerusalem
The fact that Israeli exceptionalism has resulted in it becoming an #Apartheid State, is mainly due to the world's failure to put a stop to this settler colonial project which makes a mockery of the so called International Community.
Criminalising the criticism of Israel under the false pretence of Anti-Semitism has only led to the Zionist state expanding its systemic racism & discriminatory policies against the people of #Palestine, who are the rightful owners, proprietors & inhabitants of this land #Nakba
