Full text of statement by Int'l Association of University Professors against Macron's support of Islamophobia
The following is a press release of the full text issued by the International Association of University Professors:
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Beneficent
“The faithful are indeed brothers. Therefore, make peace between your brothers and be wary of Allah, so that you may receive [His] mercy.” - Surah Al-Hujurat {10}
Congratulations to all Muslims of the world on the anniversary of the birth of the Holy Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), peace be upon him and his family, and the Week of Unity. God willing, with the blessings of the prayers of the righteous believers, brotherhood and love among Muslims and unity among religious scholars and the people in the Islamic world will be widely realized so that the sworn enemies and enemies in the Zionist world will not be able to weaken Islam.
Unity among Muslims must strike an iron fist on the mouths of gossipers and insulters to the holy prophet of Islam (PBUH), in order for them to see the greatness and eminence of Islam.
The theoretical and practical unity of Muslims must shut the mouths of those such as the French Macron with their intellectual, scientific, social, economic, political, health and security powers, so they do not dare to insult the sanctities of Islam under the pretext of freedom of expression.
Islam is a comprehensive and complete religion and a true guide to the felicity of human beings both in this world and the world after.
Islam believes in human dignity and pride, and opposes the Western humanism, which marginalizes God Almighty.
Islam opposes self-rationalism, which leads to skepticism and relativism and marginalizes the divine revelation; and indeed emphasizes on logical and rational reasoning.
Islam opposes secularism; Because the religion of Islam does not accept pure materialism with negation of the hereafter, and is indeed the promoter of the world for the hereafter.
No religion amongst the existing religions speaks of rationality and revelation, of the world and the hereafter, and of materiality and spirituality, as much as Islam does. And it is this holistic view that brings about a prosperous human civilization. And the colonizers of the world oppose this comprehensive idea, and therefore they resort to any means to spread anti-Islamism and to drive the masses of people away from Islam.
These colonialists seek Islamophobia, sometimes by building ISIS and sometimes by insulting the Holy Prophet of Islam under the pretext of freedom of expression; Whilst Note 2 of Article 19 of the declaration of human rights opposes such freedoms contrary to human morality.
The President of France should be asked how the questioning of the Holocaust is not an example of freedom of speech and is considered a crime, but insulting the Holy Prophet is freedom of speech?!!!
Insightful people have said many times that Western documents, such as the UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, cannot be trusted because they always chant beautiful slogans and hunt communities into the net of their beautiful documents, yet then in determining the instances and examples, they do other (different) things, and with their Wittgenstein language games they consider a noble peace warrior such as Martyr General Qassem Soleimani as a terrorist, while in another scene, they give their latest military weapons to ISIS. Today's world is going through its most deceptive age. The modern colonial West chants beautiful slogans such as justice, freedom, women's and children's rights; But it brings the most rape, the most child murder and abuse, the most tyranny and oppression to the people.
The Muslims of the world must know that if they do not accept the unity and brotherhood on the way to the new Islamic civilization now, they will soon become passive and imitative communities who are slaves of the colonialists, they will soon become backward, humiliated and poor, and when the colonizers have plundered all the mineral energy and underground and marine resources of the Islamic countries; they will then treat them like an old disposable handkerchief.
This unity and brotherhood on the way to the new Islamic civilization requires Islamic education, which must be taught to children, adolescents and youths from primary school to higher education, in order for them to acquire Islamic thought. Islamic thought builds networks, fronts and discourses, and paves the way for the formation of the Islamic state and the Islamic society and the new Islamic civilization, and provides the ground for the advent of the ultimate Savior of the world.
Apart from paying attention to the colonialists' conspiracy, Muslims should also have insight into another point, and that is the threat of the British Shiites and the Zionist Sunnis, who in the name of Islam seek divisiveness and target the Islamic unity and brotherhood, preventing them from stepping on the path of the new Islamic civilization.
It is strange that some, in the guise of a clergyman, spread untrue statements about religious scholars in the public media, distorting the consensus of the Shiite scholars which consider all Islamic sects as certain, and cause divisions in the current days of unity.
O’ God! May you bless and support Islam in this world of deceit, deception, hypocrisy and modern infidelity, and bless the hearts of all the believers with true insight, unity, brotherhood and civilization.
May God’s Mercy and blessing be upon you.
