was one of the chants made by a few hundreds of IIUM students (mostly the guys) during the Palestinian Rally organized at Medicine Square, IMC Campus, IIUM.
I am certainly proud that my University could at least organize this humble but necessary event, to at least show our support to the Palestinians.
Several prominent students and lecturers, local and foreign alike has had their say in the matter and all were relevant and within context.
Several resolutions has been made which include boycotting, praying for the Palestinians, and disseminating awareness.
I myself would more like to commit to the latter resolution fully. What is needed is knowledge and understanding of the situation. Not just the Palestinian occupation and Zionist agenda, but also about Islam, our way of life, Western world view, and various other issues, past, present, future.
I feel fortunate that I am studying in IIUM. Imagine, having an Islamic University. For Muslims. Just like how it was suppose to be. And I'm lucky that my university is not being bombed like it did in Palestine.
The cruelty of the Zionist have reached unprecedented proportions. Thousands have Syaheed in the land of Gaza. The land of bloodshed and death.
All the bullshit Israel is selling in the media are nothing but that. Bullshit! There is no such thing as focused fire and specific targeting of militants when cluster bombs are used, when artillery hits mosques, refugee shelters, UN aid workers, and even their own troops! The fact that even Isreali soldiers were killed in 'friendly fire' suggests that what Israel is doing is nothing more than random shootings and destroying Gaza.
Israel is doing all it can to kill kill kill. International journalists are barred from entering Gaza (for their safety konon), children are killed everyday (they led them into 'shelters' for refuge and then 'accidently' shell the place), even UN workers are not spared (and as a result, these cowards will not send anymore workers for aid until Israel may assure safety, convenient for the Israeli to continue their wanton destruction without having to worry of killing any UN members), and refusing the ceasefire terms tabled by the UN. Meanwhile, bombs and artilleries and airstrikes continue. Children are found with sniper bullet holes in the head.
There is worldwide protests throughout the world. However very shamefully, some of the most strongest support are made by none Muslim governments such as Venenzuela. There are the Arab leaders? What the hell are they doing to help their brothers and sisters in need.
When a brother is sick, the whole body feels it.
Muslims are definitely sick. We require a cure. But self-treatment is the only way to cure this disease. But so unfortunate many do not even realize that they are sick...
Back to the protest made by IIUM students. I agree with protests held. At least its something to show our support. What I personally detest are acts of unprofessionalism. These are like kicking mannequins and causing riots. This is very un-Islamic. I thought being professional is part of being Muslims. And Im not talking of people on the streets. Im speaking of educated, top students!
If any resolutions should be made, these are the most important in my opinion:
- Return to Islam, the true teachings of Islam.
- Do our best in our studies to elevate the Muslims back to its past status during the Golden age.
- Continue support and being aware of what is happening and not end here after the dust settles down, it never will!
- Provide whatever help that can be done, monetary aids, spread awareness, praying, and even studying. These are all Jihad! A struggle!
- To be the best of Muslims and to help our brothers and sisters to be one too.
Like the title says, this is not a Palestinian issue.
This is a Muslim issue.
We're all responsible for what happens in Gaza. For what is happening to ourselves.
