Al-Tantawi & Al-Azhar: Screw you
[ Update]
Aljazeera journalist asked Al-Tantawi what’s his opinion regarding the desturction of parts of Al-Aqsa. Al-Tantawi was not aware of what’s happening and was completely careless. He asked the journalist to tell him the details of the situation, and then he asked her if this is happening today…then he asked why Israel does such thing, then he said if Israel is destroying Al-Aqsa, then a strict measure should be taken to stop this attack. The Journalist asked him how could this attack be stopped ? specially that Israel prevented anybody from entering Al-Aqsa. Then he said that all Muslims in Jerusalem should stand in the face of the caterpillars, he responded ignorantly, that Palestinians should stand, and it’s their problem, men and women! (mass suicidal), then if they standed infront of the caterpillars, then all the world will support them (them as if it’s not his business), and then they should victimize themselves and shouldn’t ask anybody to stop it. The journalist told him that Israel forbid any Palestinian from entering Al-Aqsa, then he responded stupidly by answering there’s nothing called “forbid” and those caterpillars are driven by people.
Then he asked the journalist, “What do you want from me ???” . she said she wanted to hear the opinion of the AL-Azhar imam, he answered “Do you want anything else?” “Goodbye”.
[/update]
I’m irked, irritated, and sick of this!!!
but as I promised myself to respect my fellow bloggers and readers, I won’t speak dirty here.
This is what we get from Al-Azhar, and the “imam” Al-Tantawi, he speaks of Al-Aqsa as if it’s not his business!! of course!! I wonder what problems does he care about ?? and Im wondering how much does it take to bribe some people here.
blaming the Palestinians for the destruction of Al-Aqsa, as if the Palestinians didn’t suffer in the last 6 decades, and as if the whole world didn’t prevent every single penny from entering Palestine.
As if Al-Azhar did anything to Palestine.
you know what, I don’t wanna start flaming on Al-Azhar! this is not the time and place for this.
but sorry, this time, my mouth won’t shut. This is the most irresponsible, ignorant, stupid, lame, ugly, bribed, careless, and retard speech I’ve ever heard.
he speaks of actions and yet he does nothing but speaking and telling Palestinians what to do. He wants a mass suicidal sqauds of Palestinians in the face of the Israeli tanks to protect Al-Aqsa, and that’s how he will move his lazy butt and do something.
Why, of course! It’s not his screwed up responsibility. Actually, he has no responsibilities at all. Nobody does.!! just eat, sleep, and get paid for defending your Pharaoh. and That’s it!! you are Ameer el mo2mineen!

Unbelievable!!! His stupidity and lack of information infuriates me. He’s faulting the victim as if it is not enough what these poor people struggle with constantly. And this is the person to whom we look for guidance and words of wisdom?!!! How sad for us all that he’s considered our highest spiritual authority and is the head of al-Azhar institution! He’s a BIG evil joke and an insult to all the Muslimeen world-wide as well as all humanity. Al-Tantawi is the occupiers, aggressors and oppressors’ best advocate and I think Al-Azhar needs to take action against their highest representative.
Al-Tantawi is no “imam” - I have no respect for him. He’s one of the shytan’s demons.

Rasha:
That’s the point! It’s a historic religous institution, and people like Tantawi have destroyed the last piece of dignity of Al-Azhar…they are puppets for their government.
and hence we shouldn’t take their words into consideration…they should be neglected and sent to where they belong!!

Hi Abed,
Would it be possible just in a nutshell to translate what Al-Tantawi says in this clip? Nothing complicated like a full translation, but just a short explanation because I am really curious.
BTW, HI! after a long absense. Hope all is going well with you and God bless.

Hi Abed,
SHUKRAN KHATIR!! I can tell by Al-Tantawi’s tone that he is just rattling off a statement and if he wasn’t aware of what is going on (that in itself is pretty darn bad-it’s ALL over the news) and reacted in such a rash manner that certainly isn’t helpful. Saying there is “no such word as forbid” when it can bring you bullet to the head is if nothing else, a paradox!
Two nights ago I attended a very interesting event at which Mohammed Khatib spoke (he’s the founder of the Popular Committee Against the Wall in Bel’lin-the one’s that stage the weekly protest there-non-violent civil disobedience). I have a lot of respect for ANYONE who is willing to put their own body in front of a certain wrong but here is my reservation and my question: just how many Palestinians have to put THEIR lives in the forfront of this matter risking THEIR lives when the wrong is being perpetrated against THEM. The whole problem as I see it is MY country, supporting this, this APARTHEID nation of Israel. Abed, I do not see an end in sight anytime soon but I will say this, until my country stops supporting Israel in ALL they do OR looking the other way and tacitly supporting this, then it’s going to continue. The bottom line is I don’t want to see one single more Palestinian life lost, rather by invasion into the OT, firing at protestors, or in any manner. If this imam thinks that it is a good idea to have more lives lost then I mourn that thought. Why doesn’t HE go stand in front of the bulldozer digging up around Al Aqsa if there is “no such word as forbid”! I don’t know what the answer is Abed, but I do agree, it is utterly wreckless for this imam to suggest people put themselves in harms way. This mosque does not belong to the Palestinians, it belongs to ALL of Islam. So much of the world is seeing Palestinians die daily and is not doing a darn thing about it, the point is to AVOID more death while at the same time using some other less lethal manner to make it stop. I hope that makes sense. (but for the life of me I can’t come up with a solution other than getting the US to deny access to the limitless piggy bank) (and his closing remarks to the journalist show just how uninvolved and rude he is) I just don’t want any more lives lost is the bottom line.

Robin:
Dear Robin,
you’re welcome
Actually, Al-Aqsa is not only a Muslim property, but also is an historic monument that belongs to humanity!! It should be preserved!!!!
This is not an imam, he’s just an employee and shouldn’t be trusted or called imam. we just shouldn’t pay attention to any Al-Azhar statements again.
Thanks for your support and concern. you’re one sweet example of peace and understanding

Hi Abed,
I 100% agree with you that Al-Aqsa is a property of humanity!
I had no sooner clicked “send”, than the thought came that I had neglected to say that. Every single adherant to the three faiths that share this land as well as all the other faiths need to support each other. It just boils down to the “humanity” as you point out. Is this the same Al-Tantawi? http://www.answers.com/topic/muhammad-sayyid-al-tantawi-4 because it seems he seems to be a “flip-flopper”. There are also two other faiths that share Jerusalem as a holy site, and members of those two other faiths (as I see it because Israel has shown such malice towards Muslims) SHOULD be in the forfront of fighting against the digging. In doing a little “digging myself” I see Peretz urged the digging to stop immediatlely. And if anyone cares to look, the Israeli live web feed (not showing anything today because it is Saturday, and of course as far as I’m concerned cameras can be maniipulated) of the did site can be found here http://www.antiquities.org.il/home_eng.asp
I hope to God that no more lives are lost over this and that Israel stops provoking and “digging” there way to iniquity.
