Ayatollah Isa Qassim: Resistance sole solution to Trump, deal of the century +Video

SHAFAQNAThe spiritual leader of Bahrain’s Shia community says we will neither bow down to (US President Donald) Trump nor trade our freedom and will stand to the so-called deal of the century.

Ayatollah Sheikh Isa Qassim was speaking in the Iranian holy city of Qom on the eve of the opening of Bahrain’s Middle East Economic Conference, which introduces investment plans for Palestinians living in the occupied territories.

Ayatollah Qassim touched on verses of the holy Quran that orders Muslims to go to jihad and battle with God’s enemies, saying, “based on these Qur’anic verses Muslims should be on alert because enemies are always ready for battle, they want to corrupt the earth and Muslims have a duty to defend the oppressed people.”

The top Bahraini religious leader said, “the conflict between Right and Wrong has continued throughout history and prophets fought against heresy and evil. Muslims are also in an ever-lasting battle with tyrannical forces and that battle awards them dignity and self-esteem”.

Ayatollah Qassim described the US administration of President Donald Trump as an evil government that has a loud voice but is only huff and puff. He said, “the US wants Palestinians to give up on everything they own and make a handshake with Trump. Are Palestinians ready to sell their religion and drop God’s hand in favor of Trump’s hand? They should be careful, patient and ready for divine tests and never surrender to this demeaning deal.”

The Shia ayatollah slammed Bahraini regime for hosting the US initiative for Palestinians, which aims to pave the way for the so-called deal of the century adding, “the only option to counter Americans’ plot is resistance. Resistance means defending Palestine under the Israeli occupation and everybody is obliged to support the Palestinian people.”

Sheikh Isa Qassim further noted, “the world should know that Muslims never attack others but at the same time do not accept to see other nations suffer from injustice because Islam gives us a lesson of dignity”.

He concluded, “every Muslims is duty-bound to defend every inch of the soil of Islamic world.”
