The Genocide Must Be the Jolt That Awakens Us From This Slumber- Muhammad Jalal

from The Thinking Muslim

The current crop of rulers that litter the Muslim world are amongst the most detestable of people. They sit silent, often proactive only in the degree to which they collude with the joint enterprise of genocide. Many of the Gulf rulers live in hedonistic metropolises, their empty lives and cities punctuated occasionally by inane regional summits – to bury their ineptitude in the pomp of ceremony. Never has the Muslim world's seats of power been occupied by such wretched leaders. If anyone were to seek a resolution from any of these regimes to save the lives of Palestinians, one would know such an endeavour would be in vain. They epitomise those characterised in the hadith: "The worst of your rulers are those whom you hate and who hate you and whom you curse and who curse you."Read Muhammad Jalal's full piece here: https://jalalayn.substack.com/p/mans-meanest-weapon-is-to-shed-tearsThis Ramadan, support an alternative Muslim media platform rooted in faith, thought, and enlightened activism.
