The Struggle For Palestine Will Forever Be Islamic

Mohamed Ousman

“They hid it from us.” Tensions on the Flotilla: Islamists don’t want LGBT activists.

A heated atmosphere awaits the Maghreb contingent headed to Gaza: many disagree on the convergence of the pro-Pal struggle with that for rainbow rights.

Tunisian television presenter Samir Elwafi added: “Palestine is first and foremost the cause of Muslims and cannot be separated from its spiritual and religious dimension: Jerusalem is therefore at the heart of its symbols and its destiny. So why do you involve suspicious activists who serve other interests that have nothing to do with us and Gaza, like LGBTism?! Why do we hear the voices of these people in a flotilla that is supposed to represent our societies and their solidarity with Gaza?! Why do you divide people around the greater cause that should unite them?! Why all this financial, moral, ideological, and security suspicion in a flotilla that is supposed to represent Arab sensibilities and human conscience? What can we expect from an Arab Muslim who sees and hears the slogans of the ‘queer’ movement in a flotilla in the name of his most sacred cause, and which is thus desecrated?!

One of the core team members on board the Sumud flotilla has publicly deserted the flotilla.

Commentators consider him to have had the integrity to say that the flotilla is a distraction from the Gaza genocide. This is a polite way of saying these name and fame seekers are fake self-centered egotists.

During this same recent time frame that numerous acts of ineffective passive resistance have been taking place, the Islamic Movement in Palestine has been politically out maneuvered.

Militarily the Islamic Resistance in Palestine is undefeated. This is miraculous to say the least despite it being under tremendous military pressure coupled now by recent political pressure.

At this time, the political pressure coming to bear on the Islamic Movement in Palestine is unrelenting. 159 countries are supporting those who have capitulated to Israel, viz. the Palestinian Authority.

The demand for a de-militarized Palestinian state and that Hamas be excluded calls on the Islamic Resistance in Palestine to surrender. This is not an option. All indications are that this will result in a return to is'tish’haadi/martyrdom seeking operations in the near future.

Despite internal fractures, only one country in the world, the Islamic Republic in Iran, is supporting the people of Palestine’s right to self-determination, read Islamic self-determination.

That the struggle for Palestine will forever be an Islamic struggle does not mean that it is a monopoly of Muslims. There are partial overlaps which must surely attract peace loving, human rights activists with just common decency from across the human spectrum.

But, the fact that there are partial overlaps must not eclipse the Islamic nature of the struggle and derail its ultimate mission. The ultimate mission is the dismantlement of the zionist Israeli Jewish racist nation-state.

For those who religiously cling to the distortion of Biblical Israel, they seriously must reflect on a couple of absurdities among an unending list of absurdities that contradict the Bible itself.

Zionist Jews and Zionist Christians must ask themselves the question and answer as to whether their designation of the Holy Land as “Biblical Israel” is consistent with it being the ultimate gay destination of the world!

Or, whether having had a rapist lead the Holy Land as “Biblical Israel” is consistent with Biblical teachings!

For Muslims to understand this Islamic angle to the struggle for Palestine, a brief overview is indispensable.

Today’s Semitic Arab and Hebrew Palestinian Muslim followers of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) are the descendants of previous Semitic Arab and Hebrew Palestinian Muslim followers of Prophet Musa/Moses and Prophet Isa/Jesus (peace be upon them all) thousands of years ago.

Over the passage of these thousands of years some of the descendants of the followers of Prophet Musa/Moses became followers of Prophet Isa/Jesus and eventually the followers of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon them all).

Other descendants remained faithful followers of Prophet Musa/Moses or they became faithful followers of Prophet Isa/Jesus (peace be upon them).

Some descendants of Semitic Arab and Hebrew Palestinian Muslim followers of Prophet Musa/Moses and Isa/Jesus (peace be upon them) thousands of years ago abandoned their Prophets and Scriptures but maintained a racial/ethnic identity.

Because of the Israeli/Jewish complex identity, included in this latter group are those who harbor the ideology of rebellion against Allah.

The genesis to this Arab-Israeli cum Arabian-Hebrew cum Islamic-Judaic problem is not related to the land. It is related, unmistakably, to the psychological displacement of covenant dodging Jews who were eventually substituted as transmitters of scripture by the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ).

Their covenant dodging toppled them from being chosen by Allah. Hence, they have an axe to grind with those who replaced them from that category as being chosen by Allah.

And neither is this replacement related to being of any ethnic-racial stock. It is related to being honorable subjects belonging specifically and exclusively to Allah, i.e. bearing covenant responsibilities aligned with His Will.

In a sense, these covenant dodging Israelis want to defeat Allah’s Prophet in retrospect. Further, they want to prove Divine Will that resulted in their substitution wrong. Finally, they want to consequently reverse Divine Will as far as placing the final inheritors of scripture in the Abrahamic line of Prophet Isma‘eel/Ishmael whereas prior to that it was in the Abrahamic line of Is’haq/Isaac (peace be upon them).

It is this dynamic that underpins the existence of Israel and that is why it is a war between Muslims (i.e. those who submit to the will of Allah be it in accordance with the teachings of Prophet Musa/Moses or the teachings of Prophet Isa/Jesus or the teachings of Prophet Muhammad) and non-Muslims (i.e. those who do not submit to the will of Allah be it in accordance with the teachings of Prophet Musa/Moses or the teachings of Prophet Isa/Jesus or the teachings of Prophet Muhammad).

The differential religious labels are a latter development related to politically correct theology.

The above words significantly raise the bar pertaining to how Muslims understand the definition of Islam and its consequences for/in the Holy Land. And that’s alright because we can all learn from each other.

“… So when the last time [of Israeli induced worldwide turmoil] comes to pass, they [honorable subjects belonging to Us] will ruin your reputation and they will enter the [distant] Mosque [in Jerusalem] as they did the first time around, and they will obliterate all that they (the racist and conspiratorial Children of Israel) had constructed” (The Ascendant Qur’an, Surat Al Isra’, verse 7).
