Islamic-Christian Committee: IOA investing millions to judaize Jerusalem


Islamic-Christian Committee: IOA investing millions to judaize Jerusalem

[ 23/10/2009 - 07:13 PM ]

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- The Islamic-Christian Committee said on Thursday that huge sums of money were allocated by the Israeli occupation authorities for the judaization of the occupied city of Jerusalem.

Dr. Hassan Khater, the secretary-general of the committee, pointed out that the Israeli budget for the fiscal year 2009-2010 included hundreds of millions of dollars that were purposely allocated to distort the Arab identity of Jerusalem and the surroundings of the Aqsa Mosque.

He noted that an Israeli report published recently revealed that around 50 million dollars were specified to expand the Israeli settlements of Ma'ale Adomim and Jabal Abu Ghunaim, which were established on usurped Palestinian lands, in addition to nearly 106 million dollars to link settlement centers with the heart of the occupied city where Jews constitute the majority.

In addition, Khater pointed out that an amount of 20 million dollars were also included in the Israeli budget to Judaize a number of sacred places in the city, underlining that those published money figures were only the tip of the iceberg of what the IOA and other Jewish organizations with international links have indeed allocated for the purpose.

Furthermore, Khater warned that private Jewish groups have even superseded the Israeli occupation authorities in their efforts and money to judaize Jerusalem, and to distort everything in it that is linked to the Arab and Muslim heritage and history.

In this regard, Khater urged the rich Arab countries and businessmen to participate in the battle of Jerusalem and to enhance the steadfastness of the Palestinian Jerusalemites who refused to sell their properties and blocked the Israeli plans.

"Our Arab and Muslim brothers have the sufficient wealth and potential that they could utilize in defending Jerusalem if they indeed want to do so because Jerusalem wager much on the Arab and Muslim role in this crucial battle", Khater underscored.



The Aqsa Foundation warns that extremist Jews intend to desecrate Aqsa on Sunday

[ 23/10/2009 - 07:57 PM ]

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- The Aqsa Foundation for Awkaf and Heritage warned of new attempts by extremist Jews to desecrate the Aqsa Mosque on Sunday to commemorate what they call the "Rambam ascent to the temple mount."

The Foundation said, in a statement on Thursday, that it views with concern calls by extremist Jewish organisations to desecrate the Aqsa Mosque under various pretexts, adding that these groups have recently tried to desecrate the Aqsa and conducted a quick tour of the Aqsa last week.

These renewed calls come after Muslim worshipers foiled attempts by extremist Jewish groups to desecrate the Aqsa mosque during recent Jewish holidays.

The foundation called for continuous presence of Muslim worshipers at the Aqsa Mosque to protect it against the evil schemes of those extremist groups.



Abu Mahfooth: The Aqsa floats on a network of tunnels under it

KUWAIT, (PIC)-- Saud Abu Mahfooth, the expert on Jerusalem and the Aqsa Mosque, has warned Wednesday that the holy Aqsa Mosque is floating on an ever expanding network of tunnels dug by the Israeli occupation authorities and fanatic Jewish groups under it.

Abu Mahfooth's remarks were made in a lecture he delivered at Al-Islah Al-Ejtima'e society in Kuwait as part of the society's pro-Jerusalem activities.

He added that more than 25 Jewish organizations were relentlessly working day and night with the aim to destroy the Aqsa Mosque and to build the alleged temple on its ruins.

"Indeed, the Arab and Muslim Ummah wouldn’t enjoy independence and freedom unless Jerusalem is liberated and returned back to the Muslims because "whoever controls the city of Jerusalem could play an influential role on the international level."

He also warned that the Israeli occupation governments started to target the Palestinian land and geography after it targeted the Palestinian demography through massacres and ethnic cleansing, adding that destroying the Aqsa Mosque would entail a third "wild and endless world war".

During his speech, Abu Mahfooth exhibited a number of pictures showing how the Aqsa and the city of Jerusalem were seriously targeted by the Israelis, and how are they (Israelis) preparing to build the alleged third temple on the ruins of the Aqsa Mosque.

He also noted that the city of Jerusalem were surrounded by more than 32 Israeli settlements where 280,000 Israeli settlers, including 12 Israeli lawmakers including Avigdor Lieberman, the extremist Israeli foreign minister, are living.

However, Abu Mahfooth praised the uprising of the Palestinian Jerusalemites last September as they foiled a plan by mischievous Jewish groups to desecrate the holy place, urging Arab and Muslim leaders and peoples not to abandon the Palestinian people and not to leave the burden of protecting the Aqsa Mosque on them only.

For his part, the well-known Kuwaiti preacher Sheikh Ahmad Al-Qattan seconded Abu Mahfooth's remarks, attacking the policy of "humiliation" that a number of Arab and Muslim leaders were adopting.

"Those traitor leaders are more dangerous to our holy places than the Jews themselves", Qattan stressed, urging Arab and Muslim peoples to "clean" the Arab and Muslim land of those traitors.

For his part, Esa Al-Shaheen, the chairman of the forum, underlined that boycotting the Zionist entity was a must and a religious duty, noting that a number of European officials started to call for boycotting the Hebrew state.

He explained that in Belgium alone, around 14 municipalities have withdrawn their assets from a local bank after they discovered it was financing the construction of Israeli settlements in occupied Palestine.
