Egyptian University Students Start To Speak Up

CAIRO: Following the Israeli storming of the Al-Aqsa mosque, students from Egyptian universities, including Cairo, Al-Azhar and Zagazig universities, respectively, rose up in condemning the Israeli practices and Arab silence towards incidents taking place at the Islamic holy sites.

This came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the decision to include the Ibrahimi and Bilal Ibn Rabah Mosque as part of the Jewish heritage list of cultural sites.

At Cairo, al-Azhar and Zagazig universities, hundreds of Muslim Brotherhood students rose up against the submissiveness of the Arab and Muslims sentiments, which they said were not met with any official action by Arab governments condemnation.

This protest was widely supported by other university students, who asserted that the Palestinian cause is not only the MB’s alone, but “it is the whole Arab and Muslim nations’ cause.” They appealed to the entire Muslim world to take the necessary action to protect the holy sites from attack and “usurpation.”

Students held banners calling for an end to “this fierce attack” and were adamant in their condemning of what they said was “Arab silence, saying “Oh rulers, open the door for jihad” and “dear Palestinians, destroy Tel Aviv” and “arm us, prepare us and send us to Palestine.”

The students stressed that these events would be repeated for days and “it is only a part of the continued Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people and their holy places, while the whole world witnesses in silence.”

They also pointed out that Arab governments have become a threat to the “honorable citizens in their countries and abroad, especially to the Palestinian resistance.”

They called for cutting all ties with Israel and for the Jewish state’s ambassador to be expelled from all Arab capitals immediately.

Further, they called on human rights organizations and the United Nations to play an active role in protecting Palestinians and opening the door for public official donations without restriction.

The protest was followed by a march, where students chanted slogans such as “attacks on Al-Aqsa are severe … we want a country that declares war”; “Haniyya, Mashaal and Zahhar, you are our hope” and “raise your voice and say it frankly, what is happening is a scandal.”

Hamas leader, Naji Albatta, stressed to Egypt’s Sheikh of al-Azhar that “the decision to include Al-Haram al-Ibrahimi and Islamic heritage to the Jewish heritage [list] is a continued violation of the sanctities of the nation and disrespect to the feelings of Muslims.”

He called on Arab regimes to act immediately to support the holy sites of “the Arab and Islamic nation,” calling on al-Azhar’s Mohamed Tantawy to take serious actions to support the case and issue a fatwa for all Arab regimes “to boycott the Israeli entity, politically and economically.”

He praised the students’ protests saying, “such protests bring triumph to the Palestinians and strengthen the resistance and encourage the resistance to continue until the Israeli enemy is conquered, God willing.”CAIRO: Following the Israeli storming of the Al-Aqsa mosque, students from Egyptian universities, including Cairo, Al-Azhar and Zagazig universities, respectively, rose up in condemning the Israeli practices and Arab silence towards incidents taking place at the Islamic holy sites.

Komen penulis blog: Dalam semangat persaudaraan sesama Islam, seharusnya kita merasa terguris dengan tindakan penjajah zalim, Zionis Israel mengambil hak Islam sebagai penjaga Masjidil Aqsa dan kawasan sekitarnya sebagai milik mereka. Hati ini sepatutnya terluka dengan sikap biadap Israel membunuh saudara-saudara kita yang tidak bersalah tanpa belas kasihan. Hati ini juga sepatutnya terluka bila mana anak-anak palestin dibedil diterajang sedangkan mereka masih kecil dan baru hendak mengenal dunia. Orang tua dan wanita-wanita Islam yang berada di rumah dan di kem pelarian dibunuh dan dibom dengan kejam. Apakah kita tidak merasa apa-apa dengan kekejaman si keparat Israel?

Apakah dunia ini adil untuk muslimin di Palestin? Sesungguhnya Allah telah menganugerahkan kepada penduduk Islam Palestin suatu anugerah yang lebih baik dari anugerah OSCAR di Hollywood iaitu anugerah syahid di jalan-Nya. Bersabarlah wahai saudara-saudaraku, sesungguhnya janji Tuhan itu pasti.

Bermula dari sekarang wahai pejuang kalimah Tuhan (terutamanya mahasiswa/i Islam di segenap pelusuk dunia), bersatulah kita dalam satu wadah perjuangan demi menegakkan kembali syiar Islam dan pusingkan kembali roda zaman ketika mana Islam berada di kemuncak kegemilangannya. Roda Islam tidakkan berada di atas jika tiada penggerak dan pengayuhnya. Siapakah pengayuhnya? Kitalah...Kitalah yang akan menjadi pengayuh dan peneraju kebangkitan ummah wahai Syababul Islam. Adakah kita hendak melihat Islam itu dibuli dek semut Zionis Israel sedangkan kita gajah tidak mampu berbuat apa? Malanglah nasib kita jika terus dalam keadan alpa dan cuai dengan setiap gerak kerja musuh yang sentiasa menikam-nikam kita dari setiap penjuru.

Akhir kalam, marilah kita sama-sama berdoa semoga Allah membuka lembaran baru dalam episod Palestin dan berdoalah supaya Allah menjadikan kita termasuk dalm episod itu, amin.

Sekian.
