JUI-S chief says Muslim world to resist US move

NOWSHERA: Urging the Muslim world to show unity and resist the move, Difa-e-Pakistan Council (DPC) chairman and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Sami (JUI-S) chief Maulana Samiul Haq on Friday said that US President Donald Trump had challenged the entire Ummah by moving the US embassy to Jerusalem.

Speaking at a public rally here, the JUI-S chief said Trump’s announcement was an endorsement of Israeli actions and their unlawful act of occupying Jerusalem forcefully.

Maulana Sami said that none of the Muslim leaders had the ability to resist the US move as they were the western puppets. He said that he had differed with religious scholars over the declaration of jihad by the state, saying that none of the Muslim leaders can declare jihad against the US and Israel.

Maulana Hamidul Haq Haqqani, Maulana Irfanul Haq, Maulana Ghaforullah and trader’s leader Habib Aslam also addressed the protesters.

The JUI-S chief said that the US would continue with its anti-Islam policies and would hatch conspiracies against other sacred places if the Muslim world did not resist the current action. “All the holy sites are located in the areas which have been declared part of greater Israel,” he said, adding that the prime responsibility fell on the Saudi leaders and the 40-nation military alliance to play a role in resisting the anti-Islam moves.
