Ash-Shaikh Ahmad Yaseen;
Another One who Fell Prey to International Terrorism

- General Secretary, All Ceylon Jamiyyathul Ulama

The All Ceylon Jamiyyathul Ulama is terribly distressed by the shocking news that Ash-Shaikh Ahmad Yaseen, venerable leader and founder of Hamas fell prey to the international terrorism. This atrocity of Israelis could jeopardize the world’s expectation of peace amongst nations.

The General Secretary of the All Ceylon Jamiyyathul Ulama Ash-Shaikh H.Abdul Nazar, in his condolence message, further says:

What makes the tiny Israel to be bold enough to extend the Jewish settlements in the Gaza Strip and invade the Arab territory frequently, undermining the Security Council’s decision on number of occasions, is still mysterious. If many mighty nations could line up behind the sole superpower with the expectation of reshaping the world’s order, why cannot they bring this obstinate nation to compromise with its Arab neighbour?

It was rather shocking that Congalisa Rise, Security Advisor of the Bush Administration was quick to justify the Israel’s brutal action, proclaiming that the Founder of Hamas is the most formidable terrorist leader and he deserves such punishment in the form of the cold-blooded murder. However, within a short while, the reports of some other White House allies revealed that the sole superpower was very much disturbed by the incident. This double standard of America causes reasonable doubts in the minds of the Muslims all over the world.

It is, really, mind-boggling that Israel desperately struggles to show the world that the patriotic most respected freedom fighter was the leader of terrorist movement. But on the contrary, Late Yaseen founded the Hamas Movement only to liberate the motherland of the Palestinians and the Holy Mosque of Aqsa from the invaders.

The All Ceylon Jamiyyathul Ulama joins the thousands of millions of mourners who lift their hands with tears and pray the Almighty for the late leader Yaseen and other martyrs who met their end together with him. May Allah the exalted accept their good deeds, forgive their sins and give their kith and kin patience and fortitude to face this difficult situation.
