Anti Zionism is not Anti Semitism
Anti Zionism is not Anti Semitism
“You may be 38 years old, as I happen to be. And one day, some great opportunity stands before you and calls you to stand up for some great principle, some great issue, some great cause. And you refuse to do it because you are afraid…. You refuse to do it because you want to live longer…. You’re afraid that you will lose your job, or you are afraid that you will be criticized or that you will lose your popularity, or you’re afraid that somebody will stab you, or shoot at you or bomb your house; so you refuse to take the stand.
Well, you may go on and live until you are 90, but you’re just as dead at 38 as you would be at 90. And the cessation of breathing in your life is but the belated announcement of an earlier death of the spirit.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.

Do not fall for the false propaganda spread by the zionist movement. This is not a religious war but it is a war against humanity. Please do your research and educate yourself. Religious practicing Jews that are knowledgeable and aware of the situation in Palestine are against what's happening. Jews & Muslims have lived together peacefully in Jerusalem and all over the world and we still do and should continue to do so. Do not let the zionist movement confuse you into thinking we are enemies.

You can spread awareness of the conflict by sharing accurate, trustworthy news videos/articles on social media. Do your due diligence in assessing your sources for credibility. The terrorist zionist regime is actively working to suppress truthful representation of the conflict in the media. For example, when you search the conflict on Google, they have created ads (ads that emphasize Israeli victimization) that will appear at the top of your results, effectively pushing factual news lower on the list or out of sight. The most atrocious example of their suppression tactics is their destruction of the building that houses the news outlets in Palestine. Finally, please keep in mind that this is not just an attack on Palestinians, but an attack on humanity. Do not give up hope for change. Keeping hope alive is one way in which we ensure that the oppressors do not win.

The Bronx Islamic Society stands in solidarity with our Asian community
Salaam,
As you may have seen in the news in recent weeks, there have been an uptick in hate crimes, violence and harassment against our Asian Brothers and Sisters. We at the Bronx Islamic Society (BIS) stand in solidarity with the Asian community. We strongly condemn these cowardly acts of hatred and encourage members of BIS to continue to stand in unity and strength during this time. In Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) last sermon, aka his farewell speech, he said; “Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you. Remember that you will indeed meet your Lord, and that He will indeed reckon your deeds.” He, then, followed to say:
“All humans are descended from Adam and Eve. There is no superiority of an Arab over a non-Arab, or of a non-Arab over an Arab, and no superiority of a white person over a black person or of a black person over a white person, except on the basis of personal piety and righteousness.”
In the Muslim community, we have encountered similar acts of hate and, therefore, we are urging all community members to report any incidents (regardless of race, gender, religion or creed) against anyone. If you are on the receiving end of an attack or incident, regardless if it is discriminatory or not, please do not hesitate to report it. As one of the largest immigrant community populations, we understand concerns of reporting when worried about your or a loved one’s immigration status. Therefore, if you worry about repercussions by going directly to the authorities, you can reach out to any BIS board member and we can advise on the best way to address the situation.
As we approach Ramadan, we would like to reiterate the importance of staying vigilant and looking out for your fellow Brothers and Sisters, in humanity, as well as in Islam. If you see someone being attacked, please call the authorities right away. If possible, try and capture footage of the attacker and/or incident. Use your best judgement and intervene, if comfortable and able. If you see another Muslim leaving the mosque alone at night or early morning after Fajr prayer, please walk together and keep each other company.
On behalf of the Bronx Islamic Society, we encourage you all to stay safe, vigilant and look out for one another. Have a blessed and productive Ramadan. Insha Allah!
