Several prominent Muslim scholars have issued a rare religious decree or “fatwa”, calling on all Muslims and Muslim-majority countries to wage “jihad” against Israel after 17 months of devastating war against Palestinians residing in the besieged enclave.
Ali al-Qaradaghi, the secretary general of the International Union Of Muslim Scholars (IUMS), an organisation previously led by Yusuf al-Qaradawi, called on all Muslim countries on Friday “to intervene immediately militarily, economically and politically to stop this genocide and comprehensive destruction, in accordance with their mandate”.
“The failure of the Arab and Islamic governments to support Gaza while it is being destroyed is considered by Islamic law to be a major crime against our oppressed brothers in Gaza,” he said in the decree comprising some 15 points.
Qaradaghi is one of the region’s most respected religious authorities and his decrees carry significant weight among the world’s 1.7bn Sunni Muslims.
Right, but whether or not it’s disputed outside of Lemmy doesn’t change the fact that it’s a genocide. The only people who don’t think it’s a genocide are those in favor of the genocide and the genuinely uninformed/propagandized.

The unbiased take is that it’s a genocide
So in your opinion, calling this genocide is biased.

My brother/sister, it’s 2025. We’re 45 years into American conservatives shrieking “bias” every time something less conservative than Goebbles says something. If you think anyone with any level of exposure to American conservative media (i.e., most of Lemmy) is going to react any way other than extremely negatively to you obstinately tossing around “biased” every third word and “just asking questions,” you’re gonna have a bad time.
neutrality in the face of oppression is just siding with the oppressor for cowards. you’re either against genocide or you’re for it. your position here is clear.
“Unbiased” does not mean “statistical mean”.
If
1 + 1 = 2, then it equals two irrespective of anyone’s opinion on the matter.But zeroth of all, there is no such thing as an unbiased take, because no one is without bias.
Well, I hope we can agree that genocides have occurred in history. Putting this article aside, how do you propose a genocide be reported on as it’s occurring without being biased?
