Israeli threats against Al-Aqsa denounced

By: Sultan Ahmed

RABAT, Morocco: Muslim leaders, Ayaat, clerics and organizations have expressed deep concern over the Israeli extremists' intention to storm into Al-Aqsa Mosque, first Qibla of Muslims.

Voicing worry, Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) called upon the international community, world bodies and the UN Security Council to rapidly work to stop such an act and warned against the dangerous results of it.

“These threats are considered a dangerous development that arouses worry … Any Israeli attack which may involve Al-Aqsa Mosque will lead to unprecedented state of anger in the Islamic world and destructive repercussions regarding the international peace,” OIC Secretary General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu said in a statement.

In the holy city of Qom, Iran, Ayatullah Fadhil Lankarani severely condemned Zionist conspiracies to attack Al-Aqsa Mosque stressing the need of coming out of silence towards these intrigues. He called on the Muslijm world including leadership of Islamic States to spend energies for safety of sanctity of the Noble Sanctuary.

Ayatullah Noury Hamadani denounced Zionist plans to commit aggression against Al-Aqsa Mosque urging Muslims to stand against this anti-humanity conspiracy with wisdom and unity.

Spokesman for Iran Interior Ministry Hameed Reza Asefi while addressing a news conference said issue of Al-Aqsa Mosque does not belong to Palestinians or Arab States alone, rather to the whole Muslim world.

In Beirut, Lebanese Mufti Mohammad Rashi Qabani vehemently condemned the Israeli schemes to storm and destroy Al-Aqsa stressing that the Arabs will not keep silent towards such attempts.

Sheikh of Al-Azhar Muhammad Sayed Tantawi called on the international community to intervene and protect religious sanctities.

“Any attack against Al-Aqsa Mosque would lead to serious security deterioration in the region,” he warned.

Security precautions were taken after a small Jewish group, called Revava, said it intended to hold a mass prayer session on Sunday inside the mosque.

Rabat-based Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO) urged the international community to save Al-Aqsa Mosque from "the threats posed by the irruption of some terrorist, radical Jews".

According to ISESCO's brief communiqué Al-Aqsa Mosque is sacred to Muslims everywhere, besides Palestinians, and that the violation of its sanctity by any form of intrusion whatsoever is an aggressive act directed against the Islamic world altogether. It warned against the "serious consequences" that could arise from the aggressions perpetrated by "terrorist, extremist Jews (Israelis)" against Al-Aqsa Mosque, as this could set the region ablaze and pit it in a vicious circle. It also called on the Islamic world's states, as well as concerned organizations and bodies, to exercise further caution as to any future developments in Al-Aqsa Mosque.
