Mufti Menk – They Just Want Their Land, Nothing Else

The unfortunate reality on the ground is that

it seems like no one can do anything

about it. We are helpless and frustrated.

May Allah Almighty protect us.

They are doing that to people

who just want their land back, nothing else.

Please give us back our land. You came

and you took this land in the early

19 forties. We just want it back. That's

all. That's all. That's the truth of the

story as simple as one sentence. The Palestinians,

the only thing they want back

is their land. They've never asked for anything

else. Please give us our land back. Whatever

you took

1948,

please

give it back to us. That's all they

are saying. For that, the whole war has

actually twisted the hearts and minds of so

many on earth

because the wrong propaganda came in to make

them feel it's your ancestral

land. I've always said there is a difference

between ethnicity

and religion.

People could be from Africa, but they are

muslims. It doesn't mean that Muhammad sallallahu alaihi

wasallam was an Arab. That is only Arabs

who are Muslims.

Your ethnicity is one thing. Your religion is

something else.

So it doesn't mean that because you're Jewish,

you're entitled to land where Musa was

or Moses

or biblical land just because you're a Christian.

We have so many Christians all over.

None of them have come out and claimed

that that land is ours. They know we

have a connection to Jerusalem and Bethlehem. And

the Muslims who ruled have always allowed the

Jews and the Christians access to that land.

They've allowed them access to their churches and

synagogues.
