GAZA: MSSN LSAU AMIR URGE MUSLIM YOUTH TO DEFEND ISLAM

Being the text of the Amir of the Muslim Students' Society of Nigeria, Lagos State Area Unit delivered at Press Conference/symposium on seeking enduring Peace to Israel/Palestine crises on August 10, 2014

As-Salaamu Alaykum WarahmatuLLAHI Wabarakatuhu

All Protocols duly recognised and observed.

I welcome you all to this auspicious occasion, organised by the Muslim Awareness International to boost awareness over the Palestinian crisis.

I must warn us all that Palestine is of paramount concern to all the 2 billion Muslims of the world, our humble selves inclusive, and not just the people of Gaza. Indeed, recent happenings in Gaza have internationalised the Palestinian struggle, breaking barriers of religion, ideology and race.

Just yesterday, the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign UK mobilized a whopping 150, 000 people in the United Kingdom, to demonstrate in favour of the Muslims of Gaza. Oddly enough, the Chair of the Campaign, Hugh Lanning, is not a Muslim, nor is the vast majority of the demonstrators!

200, 000 predominantly non-Muslim people also demonstrated in favour of Gaza in South Africa. Largely Catholic Bolivia, Venezuela, Argentina and Ecuador have all expelled their Israeli ambassadors and mounted a water-tight boycott of Israeli goods. The Bolivian President even went on to officially declare Israel a terrorist state. Non-Muslims are at the forefront of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Movement, delivering painful economic damage to Israel and its allies.

The question of the moment thus is, “where are the Muslims”?

Because the Abu Bakrs of our time have refused to rise to the occasion, speak up and defend Islam at the intellectual, mass mobilization and media frontlines, the Abu Talibs of our time have, and they will, because Allah will always protect Islam by the limbs of those amongst His slaves he chooses.

This is a clarion call to Muslim youth, who have beyond doubt borne the brunt of the onslaught of Israel, the West and its allies the most. Shake off your laxity, timidity and intellectual emptiness. Rise to the occasion, and defend Islam and Muslims, so as to gain a slot on the train of Islam on its way to Jannah.
Pray fervently for the people of Gaza, and the whole of the Muslim world. Seek correct and true information about your global Muslim brethren. Defend Islam vigorously on Facebook, Twitter and the likes, by broadcasting, sharing and uploading indisputable facts about the oppression of Muslims worldwide. Be at the forefront of the BOYCOTT MOVEMENT, by refusing to buy, sell, use or associate with Israeli goods, and encouraging others to do same.

The struggle for the soul of Islam is at an all-time high, and the Muslim youth are lagging behind. Let’s pick up the baton of intellectual, political and organisational Jihad, and race together as such to Jannah

Maa salaama

IBB, a fool at 70 –Obasanjo •Defends his role in privatization

OBJ Former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo yesterday responded to General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida’s dismissal of his eight-year rule as a failure, describing the former military president as a fool at 70. Babangida had on Tuesday in Minna, Niger State on the occasion of his 70th birthday, described Obasanjo as lacking in foresight and imagination. Barely 48 hours after, Obasanjo replied him. He had conducted a team from the United States (US) round the Olusegun Obasanjo Library in Abeokuta,Ogun State. He told reporters that Babangida’s description of him as a failure was not only the ranting of a drowning man, but that of a fool at 70. The ex- president, who was dressed in a blue guinea brocade and a cap to match, was initially hesitant when journalists who learnt of the inspection few hours earlier, asked him to react to Babangida’s comment. His words: “I did not believe my ears when the news came to me until I read it in some national dailies.” Quoting from the bo...

KEEP ON PUSHING

Keep on pushing to the next level in your life, keep on moving forward in your  life. You make your own decision in life. If you want to become successful in life, it is a must if you really mean success. Noting comes free, so accept the challenges and face the reality of pain in order to open the way towards success in your life. What decision have you made? What action, risks and faith have you taken in your life if you do mean success? Imagine yourself 3 years from now where will you be? How hungry are you to achieve success in life? Success comes your way according to the decisions you make. If you have already made your decisions of becoming successful then you have to start believing, have faith and accept pain or failure in your life because nothing comes free. So if you mean success, you have to change your mindset from fear or disappointment to focus!
