Before sentencing Omar al-Mukhtar to death, the Italian judge asked him:
— Did you fight against the Italian state?
Omar al-Mukhtar: Yes.
— Did you encourage people to fight against the Italian state?
Omar al-Mukhtar: Yes.
— How many years did you fight against Italy?
Omar al-Mukhtar: About 20 years.
— Do you regret what you did?
Omar al-Mukhtar: No.
— Do you know that you will be executed?
Omar al-Mukhtar: Yes.
Surprised, the judge said:
— It is very sad for a man like you to meet such an end…
Omar al-Mukhtar replied:
— On the contrary! This is the most beautiful way for my life to end.
The judge then offered to acquit him and send him into exile if he wrote a declaration ordering the resistance fighters to end their struggle. Omar al-Mukhtar responded with his famous words:
“These fingers, which testify in every prayer that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is His Messenger, can never write anything false! We do not surrender: we either win or die. Even if we die, we win, while you lose. The bitter truth is that you will understand this only when you die—and by then, it will be of no use to you!”
@TheF00dBae We actually wanted to go Krept’s place but after they sat us down… they told us they had no food and only 1 chef. This was literally days after they launched. Not surprised it didn’t work out 🤣🤣🤣
@TheF00dBae I went to a steak place next to Krept and Konans place a good few years back in Croydon which did the same. Laughed at the service charge and told the waiter to pass on compliments to the chef… me.
I just checked who covered the historic mass funeral of 112 Palestinians in Gaza killed by Israel.
CNN? Nowhere.
MSNBC? Silent.
Fox News? Crickets.
BBC? Radio silence.
112 bodies. One mass funeral. Zero Western media coverage.
Journalism didn’t die. It just decided some mass funerals aren’t newsworthy.
So the @BBCWorld is mortified that a Russian drone can chase someone through the streets of Kiev, hunt them down and kill them while Zelensky shouts it's a war crime. It may well be, and it is a horrific way to die, and it should be investigated, but sorry if I don't share your shock and moral outrage - you see I've watched this shit which is happening on the hour every bloody hour in #GazaGenocide and during a freakin' ceasefire. Stop treating Ukranian lives as being much more precious than those of brown skinned Palestinians. When is this blatant racism going to stop at the BBC? https://t.co/Hl1j7H2eUz
BREAKING: Maz Saleem, the daughter of Mohammed Saleem, who was murdered in an Islamophobic terror attack by a Nazi in April 2013, has passed away.
“The murder of her father at the hands of a Nazi led her to become a leading campaigner against racism and the far right. Maz spoke at meetings, demos and events across the country about the dangers of Islamophobia, and to build the movement against racism.” Stand Up to Racism UK said in a statement announcing her passing.
Maz was a regular contributor to 5Pillars and a tireless campaigner against Islamophobia and racism.
She was incredibly dismayed that racism and Islamophobia in the UK had actually increased since her dad's murder and the lessons from it had not been learned.
Inna lilahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un.
I love how mad the kuffar get seeing how Muslims worldwide root for each other, no matter the skin, language, or nation.
You are my sisters in Malaysia and my brothers in Morocco.
Faith transcends everything in this dunya. There is no kinship like there is in Islam.
They raped a man.
They gang-raped him.
They raped him so brutally that he had to be hospitalized.
Doctors documented the injuries.
The video of the assault was leaked.
Now the rapists are free.
This is not just unlawful and immoral. It is sick!
#ThisIsIsrael
If 9 Israelis had been burnt alive yesterday, they’d have called it a barbaric & savage antisemitic massacre.
When Israel burns alive 9 Palestinians to death, they call it a ceasefire.
Seamus Coleman made it clear that "as a Dad as a Son as a Husband as a Brother" whose grown up "knowing what's right & wrong" he won't be playing for Ireland against Israel. Fair play Sheamie!
How many players will follow his good example & also boycott the match?
Counter terror police stopped and interrogated an independent cafe owner, in order to intimidate him before offering him financial benefits to spy on Palestine Action.
Instead of taking the offer, he went public to expose the state. https://t.co/VW5M75luYm
