You expect those who destroyed the graves of the Prophet’s family to care for Palestine or al-Aqsa?

Today is the 8th of Shawwal, 10th month of the Islamic calendar. A day when, in 1925, the centuries old graveyards of Baqi (Medina) and Mualla (Mecca) were levelled by Saudis

1/n Between 1802-04 sons of Mohammad Ibn Abdul Wahhab (founder of ‘Wahhabism’) and Mohammad Bin Saud (relatives of former through marriage) sacked cities of Mecca, Medina and Karbala destroying buildings, tombs and killing people. They also conspired to level the Prophets grave

There was a time when India’s position vis à vis Palestine was determined though moral imperatives. Many people are wondering why Zionists and Hindutva Supporters are so close:

1) both Hindutva and Zionism based on sacred geography and sacralise the nation state.

1/n Proponents of both argue that a community/ set of communities have divine right to the land. Israel pegged citizenship to Judaism in 2018. India created similar precedent in 2019 by passing the Citizenship Amendment Act to exclude Muslim refugees from neighbouring countries

اس ھفتے کا میرا مضمون جس میں میں نے @DaakVaak کی ایک سوشل میڈیا پوسٹ کا تجزیہ کیا ہے اور اس بات پر غور کیا ہے کہ آج کل کچھ نوجوان مسلمان اتنی جلد اہانت کے الزامات لگا کر لعن تعن کیوں شروع کر دیتے ہیں!

#Buraaq #Islam #Muslims The @DaakVaak page posted this image of Buraaq, the mythical winged creature in which the Prophet is said to have ascended to the heavens. They mentioned that paintings of Buraq have existed for centuries in various cultures. Some Muslims jumped at the admins...

I disagree with much of what Dr Zafarul Islam Khan said in his statement but why the witch-hunt? Let him express his views and let others criticise!

The govt is obsessed with sedition and Freud would have had a field day explaining why members of BJP are behaving in this manner! Zafarul-Islam Khan Sahib has the right to express what he wants whether you agree with him or not. He had himself apologised for not being sensitive about both the timing and content of the post but this witch hunt is ridiculous.
