Sunni cleric condemns shameful silence of Islamic World in Face of Syrian Catastrophes

He said, "Amid internal challenges, the controversial normalization of relations with Israel and the complicit silence in the face of humanitarian disasters present a challenge, as if Muslim countries are caught between principles and interests."
He added, "Islamic countries are confronted with a set of structural and political challenges. Internal instability, resulting from prolonged conflicts such as those in Syria, Yemen, and Libya, has weakened national cohesion and disrupted the development process. Furthermore, the heavy economic dependence on natural resources, especially oil, has made these countries vulnerable to fluctuations in the global market."
Ali Muhammad pointed to the educational sectors, noting, "Although Islamic civilization was once a beacon of knowledge and science in the world, today investment in research and innovation is very limited. Additionally, foreign interventions, including military, economic, or political, continue to threaten the independence of decision-making in Muslim countries. There are tangible solutions to these problems: strengthening cooperation among Muslim countries, investing in the younger generation and education, promoting economic transparency, and, most importantly, building strong institutions independent of foreign influence."
The Director General of the Imam Ghazali Center stated, "The normalization of relations between several Arab countries and Israel, which began with the 'Abraham Accords,' is considered a historical turning point. Countries like the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan have officially established diplomatic relations with Tel Aviv. This step, which was once unimaginable, has been taken today due to strategic interests such as technological cooperation, security concerns regarding Iran, and political pressures from the West."
He emphasized, "However, this process is not accepted by everyone. Many Muslims view this action as a form of betrayal to the Palestinian cause, which continues to be accompanied by occupation, illegal settlements, and violations of international law. To stop this trend, the people must raise their voices, demonstrate Islamic solidarity, and promote an independent foreign policy. Religious leaders, intellectuals, and civil society activists play a key role in shaping a discourse based on justice, the right to self-determination, and sovereignty."
