I'll stop buying Woolies sour gums when BDS stop laundering money for Hamas.

The silence is what scares me the most. Don't support Israel? Fine, I can see both sides. I can understand supporting Palestine, not the scum that get their own people killed. Say that Islam is a religion of peace? Prove it and be outraged when YOUR people are doing the killing too.

The radical positions by Israel supporters aren't hard to understand anymore. You would honestly think that those supposedly aiming for peace would be outraged and speak against it.

Don't know about that thread. Don't comment on everything on MyBB forums. Just what appears on the front page from time to time. But your guys condemnation of the "silence" by the Muslim world is now getting boring and sickening.

Muslim clerics in South Africa are being threatened for speaking out against the Islamic State terrorist organisation.

One of those threatened is the principal of the Zakariyya Park madrassa, south of Johannesburg - one of the largest Muslim religious schools in South Africa.

Shabbier Ahmed Saloojee recently received threatening calls after warning congregants about IS.

Anonymous threats have also been made to other highly respected clerics across South Africa who have condemned the barbaric actions of the militants in the Middle East, including the murders of clerics and the destruction of ancient religious sites.

"It was an anonymous call," said Saloojee. "The person, a coward, warned me to be careful. To watch my step, to stop what I am doing.

"But I won't. I won't be a coward. I am not afraid of these faceless people and will continue to speak out.

"I am not the only one to receive threats. There are a few [Islamic] clerics who have received these calls and messages, but none of us will be stopped from speaking out," Saloojee said.

He revealed the threats just days after a 15-year-old Cape Town girl en route to the Middle East to allegedly join IS was removed from a plane bound for Johannesburg. She had a forwarding ticket to Saudi Arabia.

Saloojee said in all its areas of operation IS had murdered and maimed Islamic clerics.

"They see us as infidels. People who don't deserve to live. There's concern among the Islamic leadership that IS could be trying to extend its reach to South Africa, but if they do try something we don't believe that they would survive for long, not like they have in Iraq and Syria."

He said that within weeks of launching operations in Iraq, the militants had murdered the muftis [senior Islamic religious leaders] of Mosul, Kirkuk, Fallujah and Ramada, killing some as they preached .

"For IS, the clerics are the No1 target, their greatest adversaries because we are preaching that what they [IS] are doing is against Islam. They do not act in the name of Islam or any religion. No religion condones murder," Saloojee said.

Several Islamic leaders are to meet government representatives to discuss IS and other terrorist organisations. The threats to clerics will be raised at this meeting.

Ibrahim Bham of the Jamiatul Ulama South Africa, a council of Muslim theologians, said it condemned the threats.

Bham said he did not have personal knowledge of the threats.

"We must keep in mind that the Muslim community, though largely homogeneous, has people with different opinions, as in every community. But different views do not mean you can oppress others.

"We are completely against IS and will not bow to pressure. We will continue to speak out against them. We are not afraid of threats. Why should we be?" Bham said.

He said the council had instructed members to read out its statements against IS and use them as the basis for their Friday sermon.

Yesterday, 80 Muslim clerics and scholars who met at the Muslim Judicial Council in Cape Town were encouraged to speak out against IS. Spokesman Nabeweya Malick, said: "They will take the message to their [communities] on Friday when they have the jumuah sermons."

Professor Farid Esak, head of religious studies at the University of Johannesburg, said there was no significant support for IS among South African Muslims.

"All the religious institutions, organisations and seminaries have unequivocally condemned IS."

Esak said he suspected the telephone threats were made by a few Muslims, "precisely to upset" the consensus against IS.

I'd like to know what time the march starts for the protest against IS slaughtering the Palestinian refugees in Syria?
 
Actually, I'm working with a few guys form Lebanon just now and they told me they don't care about Israel, they just want to leave them be for the sake of stability, but they really despise the Palestinians in their country as they cause so many problems.

I don't see you organising your own campaign either. For a big mouth, you're very hypocritical. BDS is targeting Israel, and Israel alone. That's the whole point. Why would they get involved in other causes? They are focussed on one goal. This is the stupidest comment I've read in quite a while.

BDS is a global campaign that has made quite a large impact already. There are millions who support it. Perhaps you should do a bit more research before laughing your eyes out at a "a few hundreds". Woolworths is not the only target of BDS, and yes, it so far appears to have made little difference. But looks can be deceiving.

I'll certainly try. But how will we drive our gas guzzling cars then, or use electricity generated by Eskom using petroleum products from the middle-east? Plastic is also a by-product of petroleum. You'd have to go back to the stone age if you were to try and boycott plastic products, even if its only the ones made with Saudi petroleum.

yet you came flying into the bds related thread !
you chose to ignore the thread where muslim terrorists massacred students (or happened not no notice it by chance).

"your" guys hypocrisy when it comes to protesting the massacre of innocents is now getting boring and sickening
the only time there is an outcry is when israel is involved
 
So if I come in my leathers and bring my whips can I also be part of the BDSM movement?
