Save Al-Aqsa March a huge success

Posted on the May 25th, 2005 under Uncategorized by Tohir

Today the Save Al-Aqsa march took place in Cape Town and was a huge success. More than 20,000 people attended the march and showed that for the ‘common’ Muslim, al-Aqsa is very close to their hearts.

Added to this, practically all the major Muslim organisations in South Africa were represented. Ulama (Muslim scholars) from the rest of the country flew down to Cape Town specifically to attend the march.

The response from the South African Jewish Board of Deputies (SAJBOD) was pathetic. Firstly, they refused to accept the memorandum saying it contains lies (e.tv). The question is asked: How could they come to this conclusion and decide beforehand that the memorandum is based on lies. This is the typical Zionist response of dismissing and overlooking facts.

Secondly, to state that no serious attempts has been made to attack Masjidul Aqsa in recent weeks is a blatant lie. Can they vouch to support Jersualem’s status as a World Heritage Site. Is the idea of the re-construction of Solomon’s Temple a myth? Are they opposed to the destruction of Masjidul Aqsa?
