BREAKING: Mordechai Brafman, 28, a pro-Israel fanatic, fired 17 shots at a father and son in Miami Beach, injuring both. Believing he had killed them, he smiled and told police, “I killed two Palestinians.”
Where was he radicalized? And where are the congressional hearings to address this rising hate against Palestinians and Arabs?
Ironically, the victims were Israeli tourists. And right after being shot, they took to social media chanting 'Death to Arabs.' You can't make this up.
This is the result of anti-Palestinian hate & indoctrination that sadly runs deep in Israel and pro-Israel communities in U.S.
I’m deeply concerned about the rise of militant Zionist extremism in the U.S.
Groups like the Jewish Defense League have a history of violence, and recent activities by organizations such as @Betar_USA are terrifying and alarming.
These Jewish terrorists have also targeted fellow Jews opposing their aggressive ideologies. It’s imperative law enforcement address this escalating threat to ensure the safety of all communities.
@Betar_USA If a Palestinian had shot two Israelis, every politician would be posting about it already, and @elonmusk would be spewing his usual xenophobia and racism.
But now? Silence.
Until the day he is able to criticize Israel or militant Zionism, he is no free speech hero.
To the person saying, "this is an isolated incident. Many Palestinians have shot Jews in America."
1. No it's not isolated at all (see below).
2. Show me ONE Palestinian American that has resorted to violence, despite the brutal genocide back home.
Prophet Muhammad's (pbuh) kindness to animals. A thread.
"We saw a red bird with two young ones. We caught them & the red mother bird started beating the earth with its wings. In the meantime the Prophet (pbuh) returned & said,
“Who has put this bird to distress on account of its young? Return them to her immediately.” (Riyadh S)
"A donkey with a brand on the face happened to pass before the Prophet (pbuh). Thereupon, he said, “May Allah curse the one who has branded the face of this animal.” (Sahih Muslim)
Earlier today, on our flight to Phoenix, a young lady in her 20s passed out. Screams of panic by onlookers was quickly followed by announcement of a medical emergency. 1/
I reflexly ran to her seat. She was unresponsive, slumped over, eyes rolled back.
I checked her carotid & radial pulses, she had none. We carried her on to the aisle & started CPR immediately. 2/
We quickly formed a team. My wife @NailaShereen & another cardiologist on board quickly divided tasks.
While I performed CPR, the other cardiologist got an AED from the plane’s first aid kit & applied it on the patient while Naila gathered relevant history… 3/
In my space today (recording shared in last tweet), I issued an open challenge for anyone to show me ONE example from Prophet Muhammad's (pbuh) life where he ordered ANY punishment for blasphemy, let alone KILLING.
Here's your chance to win 10,000 dollars. Don't miss it.
The story is NOT recorded in ANY authentic hadith. Weak contradictory accounts exist. Even these mention she publicly called for killing of head of State of Medina.
So even if true (extremely unlikely for many reasons), it would be for INCITING MURDER & TREASON, not blasphemy.
Mr. @UmarShahzadKhan promotes the view that "blasphemers" deserve to be killed. To make his case, he cites examples from life of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) where executions were allegedly ordered for his opponents for merely mocking him.
I refute these examples one by one. Thread.
To start, Hadhrat Aisha (ra) relates, "The Prophet (pbuh) NEVER took revenge for his own self in any matter presented to him...." - (Bukhari)
He rose above insult & enmity & was a "mercy for the whole mankind."
The Prophet (pbuh) silently smiled when Abu Bakr (ra) refrained from responding to a person who was insulting him. But when Abu Bakr (ra) eventually spoke up, the Prophet became angry.
“An angel was with you, responding on your behalf. But when you said back to him some of...
Holding a space tomorrow on Islam’s stance on blasphemy. Anyone who thinks Islam prescribes ANY earthly punishment for blasphemy, let alone death, is free to come & make their case.
The Quran & practice of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) make it abundantly clear this is not the case.
The Quran describes the believers as those who “walk on the earth in humility, and when the ignorant people address them, they say: ‘Peace'” (25:63).
Peace, not violence.
Emphasis is on turning away from the ignorant.
“And when they (believers) hear vain talk, they turn away therefrom and say, ‘To us our deeds, and to you your deeds; peace be to you, we seek not the ignorant” (28:55).
Again, peace, not violence. Emphasis is on self-restraint & turning away.
