Srinagar: In his harsher response to the Gaza tragedy, Syed Ali Geelani, who heads a separatist amalgam Hurriyat Conference G, has urged Muslims of all faiths and sects to unite in order to “wipe Israel off the world map.” The 85-year-old Islamist leader ascribed the disunity among Shias and Sunnis to the “enemy’s machinations and our own faults”.
While condemning the Israeli attacks on unarmed civilians in Gaza in which over a hundred innocent people, including women and children, have been killed, Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Chief of Hurriyat G Friday appealed people to observe last Friday of Ramazan as Yom-i-Quds and called for one-hour peaceful protests after Friday prayers on 25 July against Israeli aggression on Palestinians.
In a statement Geelani also announced to observe 3rd Friday (18 July) of Ramzan as Youm-i-Shodai Kashmir. He urged the Organization of Islamic Countries to intensify its diplomatic efforts to bring global pressure on Israel to stop the wonton killings.
While expressing his sorrow over the criminal silence of the world community particularly the Organisation of Islamic Countries (OIC) over the bloodshed of Palestinian people at the hands of Israel, Geelani said that the world is following duel standards on Muslims and the bloodshed of Muslims is not considered as human rights violations, Geelani said.
Most rulers of the Muslim countries are busy in enjoying the luxurious lives and they are unable to understand that in future they may also meet the fate of Saddam Hussain and Colonel Gaddaffi, Geelani said.
He said that if Muslims of the world would get united and they will recognize themselves as one Ummah, “the Israel like country could be eliminated from the world map, but unfortunately due to the cunning policies of enemies of Muslims and due to some own blunders, they have got divided into many groups and they are killing each other somewhere in the name of Shia and Sunni and somewhere on other names.” Geelani expressed his sorrow over the issue that the imperialistic and Zionistic powers have successfully converted those resistances into the Shia-Sunni battles which could have otherwise become a big problem for them.
