More than 170 Muslim scholars and politicians urged Arab and Islamic states to cut any ties with Israel in support of the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples, the Gulf Times reported.
"We call on all the Muslim and Arab peoples to stand by their brethren in Palestine and Lebanon and ... support them by all moral and material means available and in keeping with Islamic rules," said a statement signed by 169 Muslim preachers, academics and politicians from Arab and Muslim countries.
Urging Muslims all over the world to cast aside any difference and support the Palestinian and Lebanese people, the scholars said that Muslim governments should "disavow any political or economic ties ... with the Israeli enemy and to drop any illusions of peace with (Israel) … which have brought our nation nothing but killing, destruction and shame."
The statement also said that Muslim leaders should obey edicts or fatwas by religious authorities "prohibiting recognition of the Zionist state or the surrender of one inch of Palestine" to Israel, adding that Muslim governments "should free themselves from subservience except to God”.
Israel "could not have continued to exist and engage in aggression had it not been for massive American support, which has reached an unprecedented level of insolence and ... contempt for our nation," the statement noted.
The signatories also urged "wise Jews in the world and the wise and free among the American people ... not to allow your reckless (rulers) to .... destroy your future relations with the Muslim peoples."
"We are advocates of freedom, justice and ... peace, and we stretch out our hands to anyone who believes in this," they said in the statement.
Saudi preacher Awadh al-Qarni, one of the signatories, said that the statement has been sent to the UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, the Organization of the Islamic Conference, the Arab League and the European Union.
More than 1,000 Lebanese people, most of them civilians, have been killed and more than 3,000 wounded since Israel launched its deadly offensive in Lebanon.
A separate Israeli assault in the Gaza Strip has claimed the lives of more than 140 Palestinians, mostly civilians.
German Muslims stage anti-Israel rally
The continuing Israeli offensives in Lebanon and Gaza angered Muslims all over the world.
In Germany, more than 2,000 Muslims held a rally in the northern city of Hamburg yesterday to denounce Israel’s massacres in Lebanon and Gaza, and express full support for the defenseless people in both countries as well as the Lebanese resistance group Hezbollah.
There are about five million Muslims living in Germany, mainly from Turkey, Morocco and Tunisia.
A recent study by the Central Islam-Institute in the German city of Soest showed that more Germans are converting to Islam, according to the World Net Daily.
The institute says the number of Muslim converts have been rising in recent years, with more than 4,000 Germans embracing Islam last year alone.
it aint ever gonna happen, the rulers of most of the arab countries and indeed most muslim countries are apostates, may Allah guide them or destroy them.
they'll make alot of noise but that is it really, no jihad will come from these murteed tyrants.
they are in the pocket of their american protectors because they know without US financing or weapons or even direct US troops they would be destroyed within a few months by an islamic revolution.
all of these rulers see muslims practicing more and more and know what it means but they are powerless to stop it,
eventually such muslims will wont to see the state become more islamic also, and when that happens these secular rulers are gonna get wasted.
hence they have almost all become client states of one non-muslim nation or another, usually the US.
they get the money, intelligence and arms necessary to keep the possibility of an islamic revolution to a minimum, so they cannot cut ties with america or they will be destroyed themselves and lose their worldly power.
look at saudi, so many US troops stationed there to protect the royal family and its rule, so much US arms bought, how could they possibly cut ties with the US and survive?
...and also urged to create an alliance with Al-Qaeda and Hez-Bully.
"This world is a blank price tag, and whatever value you put on it, is what its worth to you. I have made this world priceless and worthless, so therefore I have placed my value in the afterlife."
The statement also said that Muslim leaders should obey edicts or fatwas by religious authorities "prohibiting recognition of the Zionist state or the surrender of one inch of Palestine" to Israel, adding that Muslim governments "should free themselves from subservience except to God”.
The Muslim leaders changed Fatwas according to their desires like what happend in Saudia Arabia (Ibn-Jabaren Fatwa about Hizbullah)
The muslim Leaders protecting Israel from Mujahideen
actually no they are not protecting israel. sheikh awdah explained what sheikh jibren meant and that the fatwa was like 6 yrs old.
Our Lord! Verily, we have heard the call of one calling to Faith: 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed.
Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and expiate from us our evil deeds, and make us die (in the state of righteousness) along with Al-Abrar
