Strongly Condemn Israel attacks towards the flotilla (Mavi Marmara)

Alhamdulillah, All Praise be to Allah, by whose Grace and Blessings we still can live our life in this world and enjoy Allah's creation. We live to be grateful to Him and to go through all His test with patience.

I would like to convey my sadness and anger towards Israel for attacking innocent civilian in Mavi Marmara. They are peace makers who wants to help people in need. I strongly disagree with Israel who stated that those people on board are equipped with sharp weapons and they attacked the Israeli commandos. Who in the world would be that out of mind to attack commandos with only sharp weapons and what sharp weapons do they have actually? The Muslim world should be awaken from their dreams. We are strong if we unite. We can easily out number the Israeli Zionist. However if we aren't united these numbers will be useless and will always be only numbers. We should stop fighting between ourselves. We should know who is our real rivals. Who are the ones who really want to see us lose? Who are the ones who want to see us broken in pieces? They enjoy looking at our failure and fighting with each others. We should be united. We should at least put aside the difference between us, we may be different in a lot of things such as ideology, politics and etc but we are still Muslim. We believe in Allah. The Islamic world is really big. It's just how we can  handle and how we can plan for our success. 

Maybe we should recall what Tun Dr. Mahathir had said before :  

It is surety time that we pause to think. But will this be wasting time? For well over half a century we have fought over Palestine. What have we achieved? Nothing. We are worse off than before. If we had paused to think then we could have devised a plan, a strategy that can win us final victory. Pausing and thinking calmly is not a waste of time. We have a need to make a strategic retreat and to calmly assess our situation.

We are actually very strong. 1.3 billion people cannot be simply wiped out. The Europeans killed 6 million Jews out of 12 million. But today the Jews rule this world by proxy. They get others to fight and die for them.

We may not be able to do that. We may not be able to unite all the 1.3 billion Muslims. We may not be able to get all the Muslim Governments to act in concert. But even if we can get a third of the ummah and a third of the Muslim states to act together, we can already do something. Remember that the Prophet did not have many followers when he went to Madinah. But he united the Ansars and the Muhajirins and eventually he became strong enough to defend Islam.

Last but not least I would like to once again emphasize my stand on this issue which is to strongly condemn Israel attacks towards flotilla and I fully support the Government of Malaysia   which stated their stand on how strongly they condemn the Israeli acts towards the flotilla and how they call upon the world to condemn the act and how the Prime Minister suggested that Security Council of PBB to discuss this matter as soon as possible. 

This maybe my personal thoughts but I am sure the others will think the same too. Lets pray that Allah will always be with them. I urge all of the Muslim in the world to perform Solat Hajat and Qunut Nazillah. May Allah always be with them.


"They will not fight you (even) together, except in fortified townships, or from behind walls. Strong is their fighting (spirit) amongst themselves: thou wouldst think they were united, but their hearts are divided: that is because they are a people devoid of wisdom." Surah Al-Hasyr Verse 14
