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.
