What is wrong with you?

[Soldiers and Saffron]

 

[4:75] And what is wrong with you that you fight not in the Cause of Allah, and for those weak, ill-treated and oppressed among men, women, and children, whose cry is: "Our Lord! Rescue us from this town whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from You one who will protect, and raise for us from You one who will help.

the same rhetoric for how many decades?.

Talks and posters and activism.... Maybe the intellectuals with the masses need to take a much more clever approach. Fact is, all this information be it good only evokes emotions for a moment and then forgotten. What the general populace need is a constant reminder of humanity, oppression and then to actually take charge to make a change. Perhaps the first truth is to tell them God is not interested why not do it your self. I wonder how the thiests would then respond, considering the reliance on a diety has made us all lazy and cowardly. Don't worry God will fix it. 40 years on and they are still waiting for it to be fixed.

I agree that the modern day interpretation of 'standing against oppression' is mainly lip service, outdated slogans and repetitive self-congratulatory marches and events.

We need to think of more effective methods. Spamming people's whatsapp with repetitive videos/slogans and blocking up traffic with generic marches is not really doing the job.

It's not an easy topic, it requires quite some thought.

Boycotts are a good place to start. 

Self awareness is also good (people show up to marches but not many take the time to study these conflicts and plights in detail. If you're armed with facts and figures then you can defend causes with more credibility).

Documentaries/media will also help but it should be about quality rather than quantity. 2 or 3 well researched and well produced documentaries that everyone promotes will have more of an impact than a constant stream of half-info/semi-relevant videos.

What a shame it is we have certain groups of Shias attacking voices in defence of the oppressed people of Palestine.

Hundreds of Israeli websites have just been hacked by Iran, including the official websites of settlements.

 

[AkhiraisReal]

there have been many threads like this. Usually it gets attention for 1-5 days, then it's completely forgotten. and other threads/topics that have no value at all, takes its place.

The only solution is to first unite as one ummah, set aside our differences, not listen to fitnah figures, have no love of this world nothing but for Allah. They will be so afraid at that point they will stop. Just like they all of a sudden fell at the feet of North Korea when they felt mortally threatened.

[Soldiers and Saffron]

Can you imagine? When there are zionist soldiers among their own ranks who speaks out about the severe oppression they are putting the muslims in Palestine in, there are still those among the ranks of muslims who does not believe in that those in Palestine are oppressed and they tell others to not care. Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) is the All hearing and the All seeing.

The annual Quds day will not stop until that flickering spark from a sympathetic heart that shoots out when they see the oppression, only to shortly fade, turns into a flame and that flame into a burning fire that seeks justice for the oppressed muslims in Palestine. How can we who mourn the death of the oppressed Hussein(عليه السلام) turn a blind side to the oppressed of Quds?

So long as we are busy infighting we will always be the target of the kafirs ridicule and at the hands of their mercy. I cry for you Imam of our time, what a sorry state our ummah is in...

Funny, what about when the Palestinians join al Qaeda and ISIS to kill Shias in Iraq and Syria, what about when Shia Palestinians are persecuted in the Gaza Strip as well as in the West Bank. Hamas cracked down on Shias in Gaza many times, closing centres, arresting believers. If only Shias would raise the voices in defence of the oppressed believers in Bahrain or Azerbaijan, where majority Shia countries forcibly undergo Sunnification process... wrong priorities tied to the Iranian geopolitics.

Salam these are sad facts but all of them created by zionists to divert priorities  of Iranian geopolitics to fighting  with Sunnis instead of focusing  on Palestine  & fighting  with Israel & global Zionism of America  & so called muslim leaders & fake Jews of Israeli government .

That’s exactly what I wrote, geopolitics over religion... Ever heard of Khalid Amayreh? He is a famous Palestinian journalist from the West Bank. A fervent anti-Zionist critical of the US. He was a journalist for Iranian News Agency (IRNA) for over 10 years. Since then, he wrote many articles calling for Palestinians to distance themselves from Iran. For example; 

Quote

We should all know by now that Iran is only using the Palestinian issue as a propaganda asset for the purpose of spreading Shiism in the Arab world.

In 2016, he released Wahhabi style anti-Shia book in Arabic, which in 2017 was translated to English. 

Let’s not forget the Gazan Palestinians who joined Daesh, and al-Qaeda before that. Most suicide bombers in Iraq were Palestinians.

The main problem is that a) people have lost the spiritual and intellectual capacity to do anything productive, even if they wished to do so, and 2) the vast majority of human beings throughout history have never cared about religious morality, only about material rewards and creaturely comforts. As @OrthodoxTruth also mentioned, all states, including Iran, put power politics and material gains ahead of virtue and integrity. Opportunistic sloganeering, à la popular narrative(s), is just one more component of the New World Order many people like to fulminate against but whose culture they readily adopt and covertly envy. This universal truth holds regardless of one’s personal views.

If what you said was true, then Iran would be allied with israel, not trying to fight it. It has much more to gain in terms of power and material gains by allying itself with israel than it has to lose.
