OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- The Supreme Islamic League in the occupied city of Jerusalem said Saturday that any attempt from any party to internationalize the city was strongly rejected, and would be opposed with firmness.
In a press release it issued, the SIL pointed out, "The people of Palestine in particular, and the rest of Muslims world-wide had rejected the idea of internationalizing the city of Jerusalem since it was first proposed in 1947 as part of UN resolution to divide Palestine between Jews and Arabs, and the main reason for that rejection was the article pertaining to Jerusalem".
It added, "Since then, all the projects to internationalize the city were strongly confronted, rejected, and foiled; yet, here comes [US president} Barack Obama reviving the proposal again with the pretext that the city comprises the three religions, Islam, Christianity, and Judaism".
Moreover, the SIL explained that Jerusalem was first handed over to Muslims peacefully during the era of the second Muslim Caliph Omar Bin Al-Khattab, who gave Christians in Palestine the pledge of safety, which Muslims preserved over the past 14 centuries and until now.
"There were no synagogues in the city at that time, but if there were any, Omar would have given the same pledge to preserve those synagogues", the SIL underlined in the statement.
In this regard, the SIL stressed the sanctity of the city for Muslims, and that it constitutes part of Muslim faith, and thus, Muslims would protect and preserve the Muslim identity of the city at all cost.
Since the city fell under the Israeli occupation in 1967, the successive Israeli governments strived and still are striving hard to judaize the city and to distort its Muslim and Christian landmarks.
Finally, the SIL supported the religious edict issued by scholars of the Muslim Ummah prohibiting internationalizing the city or conceding, selling, and exchanging an inch of its soil.
