Official (Iran) calls for setting up Islamic fund for Palestinians
IRNA ^ | 10 january 2002

Beirut, Jan 10, IRNA -- An Iranian official here Wednesday called for the establishment of a fund to raise the financial aid of the Islamic world for Palestinians to support them in their popular uprising (Intifada) against the Zionist Israeli occupation.

Ali AKbar Mohtashamipour, the head of the Iranian committee for the support of the Intifada, further urged all Islamic countries to sever their ties with the racist Israeli regime.

"If every Muslim family puts aside 10 cents every day to aid the innocent Palestinian people, the total figure will add up to billions of dollars in a year," he said at a conference of the Islamic thinkers on the liberation of Al-Qods, held in this Lebanese capital.

"Every form of trade and political ties of the Islamic countries with the Zionist regime is haram (forbidden) from the standpoint of the Islamic Sharia law," Mohtashamipour said.

"It is up to the Palestinians and the world Muslims to prepare themselves for a steady combat against this regime until Palestine is liberated," he added.

"It is advisable that Muslim nations, by sacrificing their wealth and lives, pluck out this cancerous tumor (of the Zionist regime) from the region," Mohtashamipour, also an MP from Tehran, said.

He ruled out the "hollow slogans" of the Israeli regime in calling Beit-ul-Moqaddas as its "inseparable" capital.

"The Zionist regime is trying to transform the Islamic identity of Beit-ul-Moqaddas, by giving it a Jewish identity. But, it is ignorant of the fact that Al-Qods belongs to all Muslims and no one can make a deal on that," the Iranian official added.

He also called for the dispatch of international supervisors to Palestinian lands in order to "check the ongoing bloodshed and massacre of Palestinians at the hands of the Zionist regime."

"The continuation of Intifada is the only remaining weapon for Palestinians against the Zionist enemy," Mohtashamipour said, adding, "this is a legitimate right to defend oneself."

The head of the Hamas group, Khaled Meshaal, reiterated the group's determination to drive forth "resistance" until the complete liberation of the Palestinian territories.

"Despite world developments and its effects on the region, we will push ahead with our objective of defending the rights of the Palestinian people," he said.

Iran does not recognize the Israeli regime. Tehran, instead, morally and politically supports anti-Zionist freedom-seeking groups in the occupied lands.

THE ARAB-ISLAMIC MIDEAST TERROR FROM 1929 TILL JULY 2001

"Bani An-Nadir and Bani Quraiza fought, so the Prophet (Muhammad) exiled Bani An-Nadir and allowed Bani Quraiza to remain at their places. He then killed their men and distributed their women, children and property among the Muslims, but some of them came to the Prophet and he granted them safety, and they embraced Islam. He exiled all the Jews from Medina. They were the Jews of Bani Qainuqa', the tribe of 'Abdullah bin Salam and the Jews of Bani Haritha and all the other Jews of Medina." (Hadith, Sahih Bukhari 5:59:362)

Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah. Whatever you spend in the cause of Allah shall be repaid to you and you shall not be treated unjustly. (Quran 8:60)

This is easily translatable. "We'll all give a dime a day to kill Israeli Jews and if there's any money left over we'll use it to get the other infidels.". Crap, these jihadists need to grow up and get over it.

So much for the "people of the book" garbage.
"The Zionist regime is trying to transform the Islamic identity of Beit-ul-Moqaddas, by giving it a Jewish identity. But, it is ignorant of the fact that Al-Qods belongs to all Muslims and no one can make a deal on that," the Iranian official added.
Translation: "the Jews never had a temple on the temple mount, and we're removing any archealogical evidence to the contrary." These meatheads really think they're gonna get the world to believe that the "zionists" made up the whole Old Testament?
"... a legitimate right to defend oneself."
They seem to be "defending themselves" against pizza and disco music.

Charitable contributions to jihadists should be sent in the form of lead and various isotopes.
