Head of the international union for Muslim scholars Sheikh Yousuf Al-Qaradawi called for Arab popular moves to protect the Aqsa Mosque and confront the Jewish attempts to defile it.Here are the rules so you can understand the particular logic of Qaradawi and a billion of his coreligionists:
In a press release issued on Monday by Al-Quds international foundation, Sheikh Qaradawi stressed that the Aqsa Mosque is a red line and the Muslims would not stand idly if the Jews repeated their attacks on the Mosque.
He urged the Palestinians in their occupied land and the Arab peoples in neighboring countries, Egypt, Jordan and Syria, to rise up in defense of the Aqsa Mosque and liberate it from the Jewish occupation.
When Jews peacefully visit something considered a Muslim holy place, it is incitement, defilement and desecration and a reason to call for millions of people to violently protest.
But when Muslims destroy and co-opt Jewish holy places, it is the exercise of basic Muslim human rights.
See how neatly symmetric and fair that is?
