FILIPINO Muslims should rally in front of the Israeli Embassy in the country to condemn the ongoing bombings by its forces in Lebanon, a Muslim lawmaker at the House of Representatives urged Thursday.
At the same time, Anak Mindanao Representative Mujiv Hataman asked the Ulamas to take a “bold stand” on the crisis, saying that an "active participation" of Muslims in the whole world would help pressure Israel to stop its attacks and accede to United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan’s call for an immediate ceasefire.
"I urge millions of Muslims in the country to take a bold position to address this atrocity against Muslims, which [has] claimed the lives even of innocent civilians," Hataman said in a statement.
"The destruction in Lebanon and in Palestinian territory through the use of disproportionate force is condemnable and unjustified," he said.
Hataman said the ongoing conflict must be addressed immediately as it was becoming an affront to Muslim people and its beliefs.
"A very bold position should be displayed right away. It seems that Israel wants a confrontation between our cultures and beliefs," he said.
Hataman said that a ceasefire was also in order to save the lives of innocent people as well as the devastation of important infrastructure. |
