We've already been told not to take anyone as allies over our own brothers and sisters. Alhamdulillah, Allah swt has given us all we need and has made it perfectly clear. We might thank them for whatever efforts they make, but we dont need or expect anything from anyone.

You are absolutely right but what is one to do when your own brothers and sisters don't stand up for you? Why is Saudi Arabia holding music festivals one after another and not placing sanctions on the usa? I am so disgusted by all of the msulim countries, including my own, Pakistan. Why do King Hussain and Queen Rania speak up for Palestine but still give their air space to USA? Why is it that when Syrians were being bombed (by their own Muslim leader, no less) NO MUSLIM COUNTRY decided to give them shelter BUT CANADA DID? Woe to all Muslims, we have reached such a state that countries like canada are providing shelter to oppressed Muslims instead of their own brothers and sisters :(

@@codyduanepotter3163 first, no one is blasting anyone. Ruffalo is just being called out for his mistake, as he should be. Second, no one is claiming that Muslim countries are doing their fair share. Far from it. The question is about who the Muslim community should _expect_ to stand up for them. Where should we put our trust? You have to understand that Islam is even thicker than blood. Even if my brother is flawed and misguided, I'm going to turn to him first, expecting support. I might have to correct him and bring him up to speed, but when things go bad, I'd rather put my full reliance on my brother over some stranger who has nothing to do with me. The point being made is that Muslims should not be starstruck by some prominent figures from the "West" taking up their cause. Especially when those figures are so clearly indoctrinated in a non-Muslim, or even anti-Muslim paradigm, as Ruffalo let slip in his comments. We can still be grateful for the efforts of other groups, but our first expectations should be placed in our fellow Muslims.

I'm glad about your attitude and sentiment of your message. Non-compromising attitude is the only option and I hope whole Yaqeen Institute will embrace this kind of attitude.

People don't understand what Sharia means...Give him (Ruffalo) a break! We just need better education so people can understand the nuance of Sharia vs. oppression. It's not HIS fault that the term sharia has been hijacked. Why are we attacking Ruffalo instead of gently educating him

Beautifully said brother Tom.

Let the show of support for Palestine be because its right, and for no other reason. Palestinian people are fighting for their existence, those who wish to speak for them do it for that reason.

Yup, couldn't agree more. No trade for our aqeedah. Our eemaan

If the Palestinian cause is a humanitarian cause then who are you to deny people from supporting it or putting conditions to accept their support? He can support Palestine and complain about shariaa, and his support will remain valid. And you complain that it is not a transaction while you are setting conditions for the support to be accepted?? And since you are talking about shariaa, can you tell us what islam says about living in a non muslim country? Just a reminder that it's the left that stood with Muslims when they were stigmatized and discriminated against in the west after 9/11.. So the least you can do is to be grateful, and if you can't support them with your words and actions then just support them with your neutrality and silence.

I am inclined to believe that you didn't get his point. It is related to the term Shariah Law that is being used as a negative term. Sharia law is similar to the Judaic law but it was misused by some ignorant people and the western media has been portraying it negatively since. Thus I understand that many people may use that word in a negative way unknowingly. And that was why people were trying to correct Mark Ruffalo. Have a good rest of the day.

We must work on common grounds for the future of our brothers in Palestine. Show me demonstrations like the ones we see in non Muslim countries in Islamic countries??? Did our rasul not seek shelter in abensiniya, via Christian king??

Help us because you really care, because it's the right thing to do. Not because you want score points.

Don't think he did it on purpose.

Just so you know, being queer isn't inherently sexual. For example, humans develop crushes on other humans before they even have a sex drive biologically. This means that if one feels attracted to the same sex, it doesn't have to be for sexual purposes. Some people don't even have a sex drive either. This is objective truth. Just something to think about. Despite how Muslims feel about queer people, many queer people will advocate for Palestine regardless. All Muslims could hate me and think I'm a mutant monster and I'd still wish for their peace.

MashaAllah TabarakAllah Imam.

I've wondering whether I should continue pursuing this field or leave it to Allah and consider other options. Also i am unsure if i should continue searching for jobs related to my graduation field (biotechnology engineering). or should I look for some buisness. "Since i get laid off in several companies, that too because of the resources or project issues caused by the company, I might be wrong here, what i feel is its Allah's plan not to continue in IT domain" I might be wrong, but during this time have lots of stress and questions on myself.?

It’s so annoying for people inserting their agenda while thousands are dying in Palestine. If you ask the Palestinian, sexual freedom would be the last thing on their mind right now.

I don't see many people bringing up sexual orientation at all honestly. As a person who is not straight, I don't care what Muslims are doing in Palestine right now when it comes to queer people - we can discuss that AFTER Palestinians have basic human rights. While your idea of people "inserting agendas" in discourse seems to be exaggerated to me, I agree that debating over queer liberation is a distraction from the fact that civilians are being massacred. Ironically, I've seen a bunch of queer people stand up against IDF oppression without even thinking once about the fact they're standing up for a group of people who probably think they are haram. Myself included. I am much more concerned about the Islamophobic massacres done by the IDF.
