Israeli authorities summoned Grand Mufti for interrogation
IRNA â As part of Israel's institutionalized persecution of non-Jews in Palestine, the Israeli police on Monday summoned the Mufti Of al-Qods (Jerusalem), Ikrema Sabri, for interrogation in connection with his anti-apartheid stance. The interrogation itself was postponed, but Sabri said he was warned by the Zionist police to ''tone down my remarks.''
| So nothing actually happened, except that the cops told him to stop spraying spittle... |
Sabri had voiced his opposition to allowing non-Muslims to pray at and visit the Islamic religious shrines at the Haram al Sharif of Jerusalem, saying unless Muslims are allowed to visit, nobody else would be.
| "And if they are, nobody else should be, either." |
Israel has an established policy of barring Muslims and Christians in the West Bank and Gaza from visiting their respective holy places in Jerusalem.
| Not that we've heard of... |
The Al-Aqsa Mosque, mentioned in the Holy Quran by name, is considered one of the holiest Islamic places.
| I believe the name was interpolated. There wasn't a mosque there when the Koran was written... |
The apartheid Israeli state considers al-Qods as its ''eternal and undivided capital.'' The international community, including the United States, refuses to recognize Israel's usurpation of Jerusalem.
| That's one of the most Goebbled pieces of reporting I've seen on IRNA. |
