It would be wrong to think that Muslims would get a unified condemnation of the current Israeli Holocaust from Irish Politicians... Even if Ireland were to expel the Israeli Ambassador like Venezuela did... it would make little meaningful difference to the people who are suffering... Despite all my opposition to MPAC and its method for bringing change I am in no way opposed to their efforts to influence local politicians (directly that is)... Dont get me wrong on that... But the real people who CAN make a difference and bring an end to the Israeli Occupation are the following... The comparison speaks for itself...
Population | Military Manpower | Military Manpower fit for service | Military Expenditure $bn | |
Israel | 7,112,359 | 3,353,936 | 2,836,722 | 11.8187 |
Egypt | 81,713,520 | 41,654,185 | 35,558,995 | 13.7836 |
Iran | 65,875,224 | 39,815,026 | 34,344,352 | 19.0725 |
Jordan | 6,198,677 | 3,371,706 | 2,886,132 | 2.4467 |
Syria | 19,747,586 | 10,218,242 | 10,218,242 | 5.33183 |
Saudi | 28,146,656 | 14,928,539 | 8,461,049 | 54.6 |
Turkey | 71,892,808 | 39,645,893 | 33,444,999 | 45.2567 |
Yemen | 23,013,376 | 9,932,593 | 3,585,947 | 3.71184 |
Libya | 6,173,579 | 3,293,184 | 2,821,855 | 2.91408 |
Lebanon | 3,971,941 | 2,229,474 | 1,883,155 | 1.25364 |
Kuwait | 2,596,799 | 1,601,065 | 1,393,356 | 7.42 |
Oman | 3,311,640 | 1,429,296 | 1,207,291 | 6.94146 |
Morocco | 34,343,220 | 18,233,410 | 15,382,861 | 6.25 |
Algeria | 33,769,668 | 19,327,735 | 16,357,759 | 7.3359 |
Tunisia | 10,383,577 | 5,905,068 | 5,005,257 | 1.06498 |
Sudan | 40,218,456 | 18,961,029 | 11,264,895 | 2.4294 |
Muslim - Middle East | 431,356,727 | 230,582,445 | 182,058,952 | 179.81263 |
So we have a situation when our own people... those who can stand up to defend the lives, land and honour of Muslims watch in silence at a massacre that is not really new but is a problem that is half a century old... Does any Cllr got a meaningful influence to bring real change compared to the people that I am pointing at?
Instead of harassing local politicians who dont even share a common belief with Muslims and have nt seen (or possibly care about) the suffering of Muslims in Gaza or any other part of the Muslim world... and who have no claim of brotherhood towards the Muslim Ummah, I think it would be more empowering if we account the Muslim rulers... approach their embassies in demos and harrass their ambassadors wherever we are... including Ireland...
This is something specially for Muslims to ponder upon... I expect that those who have shamelessly defended the sinful and unjust rulers in the Muslim world in the past might have already realized their mistake by now... God willing...
Take Care everyone and God bless!!!
Yours truly...
