Afghans Rally in Support of Palestinians: Islamic Emirate On US Recognition Of Baital Maqdas As Capital Of Israel
08 December 2017Al-Ihwah Al-Mujahidun
Finally, America has fully exposed her colonialist face and declared enmity
towards Islam as well as support for policy of occupation and colonization of
Muslim lands.
The Islamic Emirate strongly condemns recognition of Muslim's first Qibla -
Baital Maqdas - as the capital of occupying Israel by the president of America
and considers it anti-Muslim bigotry and a reckless step.
This decision by Trump will fan the flames of conflict in the entire world
especially the Middle East.
The US president showed that America is directly involved in all Muslim
miseries that have angered Muslims for decades, usurped their homelands,
killed their people and are trying to destroy Islamic values.
The Islamic Emirate calls on all Muslims and Islamic countries to declare
their solidarity with Baital Maqdas and back the legal resistance of the
oppressed Palestinian nation.
If the Muslim world fails at giving brotherly hand to one another and
approaching their problems in union, recognize anti-Islam plots and continue
squandering opportunities, then the moments are close when Muslim sanctums
shall further be degraded and the very existence of Muslims shall face immense
danger.

Afghans Rally in Support of Palestinians
Like Muslims in many parts of the world, Afghans have expressed grief and
outrage at the Israeli military incursion into Gaza, their emotions stoked by
TV coverage. In the past week, protests have erupted in spots as remote as
Badakhshan, in the snow-covered Hindu Kush mountains.
Afghans' reaction to the escalating Middle East conflict, however, is set
apart by their country's uneasy partnership with the United States, which has
sent tens of thousands of troops to secure Afghanistan since the overthrow of
the extreme Islamist Taliban regime in late 2001 and has spent hundreds of
millions of dollars to help rebuild its devastated economy and institutions.
Over the past two years, the Afghan populace's initially welcoming attitude
toward U.S. troops has soured, in part because the international coalition
forces here have failed to quell rising criminal and insurgent violence and in
part because of civilian casualties during bombing raids and alleged
violations of Afghan traditions by U.S. ground troops in conflict zones.
Now, the Israeli attack on Gaza, widely seen here as an act of aggression
enabled by the United States, has become conflated in the minds of some
Afghans with U.S. motives and actions in Afghanistan. Taliban propaganda and
sermons by conservative clerics have contributed to a notion of the United
States as an occupying power that seeks to subjugate the Muslim world.
"We have cable TV, and we know what the Americans are doing," said Mehrabuddin
Ali, a baker in a working-class Kabul district. "First they attacked Iraq.
They didn't find any nuclear weapons, but they killed a lot of Muslims. Now
they are supporting Israel in killing innocent Palestinians. If they have come
here to help us, we will welcome them. But if they come to destroy us, we will
drive them out like we drove out the Russians. Real Muslims only need the
protection of God."
The modest white Miladul Nabi mosque is almost hidden beneath a massive poster
that depicts a red fist raised to the heavens surrounded by slogans expressing
sympathy for the Palestinian people, support for what it calls their jihad
against Israel and hatred of the "blood-sucking" American government.
Last weekend, the mosque sponsored a protest rally against the Israeli assault
on the Gaza Strip. On Monday, half a dozen young men with cellphones worked in
its library, organizing a drive to collect money, blood plasma and volunteers
to fight alongside the Palestinians. Sitting among them was the mosque's imam,
Ehsan Habibullah.
"Afghanistan is the land of holy warriors. We feel the pain of the innocent
Palestinians, and we will stand with them to the end," Habibullah said.
"Israel is a terrorist state, and the Americans are supporting it, so how can
they claim to be against terrorism? In Afghanistan, they are bombing civilians
and setting dogs against women and children. They are not killing al-Qaeda --
they are killing us."
Statement of Islamic Emirate regarding Israeli aggression in Masjid Al Aqsa
On Friday a clash took place between the occupying Israeli soldiers and
Palestinian Muslims inside Masjid Al Aqsa in the city of Quds in which 3
Palestinians were martyred and 2 Israelis killed.
The Israeli soldiers closed gates of Masjid Al Aqsa following the incident,
barring Muslims from performing their Friday prayers inside the mosque and
keeping it closed till now.
The Islamic Emirate, as representative of the Afghan Muslim nation, condemns
the actions of the occupying Israeli soldiers with the strongest of terms and
asks the Muslim nations around the world to condemn this Israeli action and
think about ways of its prevention.
The Islamic Conference and other International Islamic organizations also have
responsibility of raising their voices and standing alongside their
Palestinian brothers in preventing the oppression of the oppressors.
