In an article from Daniel Pipes website The Investigative Project on Terrorism it was exposted that U.S.-based Imam Urges Muslims to Join the Gaza Battlefield!!!
A North Texas imam is calling on Muslims to take up arms in defense of Palestinians in Gaza. Sheikh Mohamed El-Moctar El-Shinqiti, director of the Islamic Center of South Plains in Lubbock, Texas, participated in an online chat, “Fatwas on Gaza,” at the web site IslamOnline.net.
El-Shinqiti encouraged readers to fight – or if they can’t, to send money to those who are fighting – in response to six out of the eight questions posed to him in the online chat. When asked what can be done to help the people in Gaza, El-Shinqiti emphasized war over sending food or medicine or other supplies that might directly help people:
“For Muslims who have access to the battlefield, their duty is to join the resistance to defend the oppressed. For those who don’t have access to the battlefield, their duty is to use all possible ways of lending support for the oppressed such as donation, the media, communication and first and foremost du’a’.”
…….
Women should be a part of the fight, too, he said. “The role of Muslim woman is this crisis in exactly the same like the role of men. The consensus of Muslim scholars is that if Muslims are attacked in this lands, women can join the battlefield if this is applicable,” or they should engage in financial and political support.
U.S. law prohibits providing material support to Hamas, a designated terrorist organization.
