Peace be upon you. This is my brother, a quick comment on the killing of Muslims in two mosques in New Zealand. Who is responsible, do you think? And who are the accomplices in the crime?
Some say: The New Zealand people are happy, look how they support the killer. Some say: European peoples hate Muslims. Here, we say for the sake of fairness, my brothers: It is not right to generalize to the entire people, they are not all the same. Some reject this act, and the New Zealand killer does not represent them all.
Some, on the other hand, say: Why are you Muslims angry? Some Muslims have done similar things in churches of the Christians in Muslim countries. We say: These people also do not represent Islam or Muslims by their actions, and this should be clear.
But we must also remember, my brothers, that there are many groups involved in this massacre.
One of them is the global media that incites against Muslims and fuels people's hatred of Muslims.
And those who enact laws against terrorism, which in reality are against Islam.
And I would like to remind you, my brothers, that the American president tweeted on his Twitter account on 17-8-2017 saying: "Study what General Pershing of the United States did to the terrorists who were captured. Islamic extremist terrorism stopped for 35 years after that." This was Trump's tweet: "Study what General Pershing of the United States did to the terrorists who were captured. Islamic extremist terrorism stopped for thirty-five years after that."
What is the story of the American general Pershing that Trump calls us to learn from in eliminating terrorism? Pershing ordered the slaughter of a pig in the hall and the smearing of a gun's bullets with the fat of this pig, then shooting the Muslims one after another in front of their fellow Muslims, and burying them with the remains of the pig, while keeping one Muslim to spread the news among the Muslims in the Philippines, so that they would be terrified and stop resisting the American occupier. This is Pershing whom Trump calls us to learn from. He killed the same number, 49 Muslims, and the New Zealand killer has already learned from Pershing.
And I also remind you, my brothers, that there are Arab rulers who have asked European countries to supervise the mosques in Europe to prevent them from becoming centers for terrorism.
Finally, a message to Muslims in the West: Stand firm, my brothers, and be patient, and do not let this scare you and keep you away from the mosques. "And they will continue to fight you until they turn you away from your religion if they can." You are in an identity battle, an Islamic identity. Showing your Islamic identity and pride in your religion is jihad, and building your mosques is jihad. And whoever dies among you in this state, we ask Allah to accept him among the martyrs.
Such events may call Muslims who are far from their religion in Europe to hold fast to the rope of Allah and feel the challenge, show their pride in their religion, and unite with their Muslim brothers.
And finally, we say to the first of our brothers who were killed: We ask Allah, the Great Lord of the Great Throne, to accept your sons as martyrs and to gather you with them in Paradise. O Allah, forgive them and have mercy on them and pardon them and forgive them and honor their reception and widen their entrance and wash them with snow and water and cold. And peace be upon you.
