A Muslims View
For decades, the situation in Palestine has been promoted as an "Arab" issue, or a "Palestinian" issue, and Muslims have, by and large, gone along with this charade. Such a belief gas proven fatal as the Zionists have succeeded in further dividing the opposition to their occupation of Palesine, with the inevitable weaknesses that implies. And yet, paradoxiically, with the latest "peace treaties", between themselves and Jordan, and with the Palestinians of Yasser Arafat's Palestine National Authority (sic), the Zionists have brought into the open what should have been obvious all along. Palestine is an Islamic Issue, and Muslims all over the world have a duty to care about what is going on. Failure to do so, to dismiss it as yet another nationalistic or regionl flash point best left alone, is tantamount to surrendering the land of Al-Isra wal Mi'raj to Zionist control. Why? Consider the evidence. Who are now promoted as the demons of the case, the "enemies of peace" as they have been dubbed by the world's politicians and media? The Muslims. Under whose rule did peace actually exist in the Holy land, with Muslims, Christians and Jews alike sharing the land in harmony? The Muslims'. Who are persecuted mercilessly by those self-same . . .
Can we stay quiet much longer? Remember, if Al-Aqsa was not important, surely Allah could have taken the Prophet to the heavens straight from Makkah; there was no immediate need to make the trip to Jerusalem first, unless it was inten- ded to be a place of vital importance for Muslims. The soil is soaked with Muslim blood in defence of human rights. When it is remembered that neither Arafat nor Mubarak were inveted to the signing ceremony two points emerge for consideration. Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him), the second coming of Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) and the final reckoning with Dajjal, Gog and Magog, are all going to take place in and around Al-Aqsa. Everywhere in the world, Muslims are under attack: Bosnia, Kashmir, Algeria, Afghanistan, Somalia. Not content with partitioning the land, the Zionists have done the same to Masjid Ibrahimi in Al-Khalil; most of the mosque is now a synagogue. " This has played right into the hands of the Zionists whose aim is to destroy Al-Aqsa and build their temple in its place. Ever since the late King Faisal of Saudi Arabia declared "Jihad" against the Zionists, saying that Muslims should only travel to Al-Aqsa with the intention of liberating it, the third holiest place of Islam has been virtually abandoned by the Muslims. It is one of the worst-kept secrets that King Hussein has been a regular visitor to Israel over the years for talks with the Israeli government. It is the most important of all these places and cannot be abandoned in the name of a false "peace". It would be interesting to know, therefore, exactly what deals have been agreed behind closed doors leading to the treaty between Israel and Jordan. The place has been crucial to the Ummah in the past, and it has a crucial role to play in the future; even a cursory reading of the Ahadith shows this quite clearly. If we do not, then Allah alone knows what awaits us.
