Anatolian Youth Association (AGD) Istanbul Branch, organized a protest in front of the Indian Consulate in Istanbul to protest the cruel Indian regime that had the audacity to speak out against our great religion Islam and the mercy of worlds our Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). In the action that took place with the title “Stop the Persecution of the Anti-Islamic Indian Regime!”, India's infamy was blamed.
“THE PERSECUTION AND TORTURE OF MUSLIMS IS INCREASING DAY BY DAY”
Speaking at the action, Anatolian Youth Association (AGD)/ National Youth Foundation (MGV) Istanbul Branch President Mehmet Yaroğlu said, “There are nearly 200 million Muslims living in India. Treating this number, which is many times higher than the population of many countries in the world, as a minority, depriving them of their constitutional rights and not allowing them to defend their rights is only an indication of oppression. As it is known, attacks, persecution and torture against Islam and Muslims in India continue to increase day by day. The persecution administration in India imposes restrictions on the worship of Muslims, destroying our mosques, which are each of them works of a tawhid art, putting obstacles in the Islamic education of our children, and reaching out to our sisters’ veiling which are the epitome of chastity. The oppression and domination of Muslims has intensified in recent days by attempting to insult the master of the universe, our two world servants, our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).”
“INDIAN OPPRESSION HAS CAME OVER THE WHOLE ASIAN REGION”
Emphasizing that there is a global attack on Islam, Yaroğlu added, “The provocation in India is beyond being the arrogant act of a few ignorant politicians; We see it as a new link of global aggression against Islam under the name of Islamophobia, which reminds of Charlie Hebdo cartoons. Indian persecution has come to besiege not only its own lands but the entire Asian region. The main perpetrators of the genocides in Arakan and Kashmir are the Indian government and Hindu priests. Supporting fascist groups, meeting all their needs to shed Muslim blood they are. It is not possible to understand the unresponsiveness of Islamic countries and the silence of Muslims, while the difficulties experienced by Muslims are evident. The oppression in the world will not end unless Muslims show their loyalty to the cause of truth as idolaters-oppressors show to the false causes. Those who do not defend their own values; those who do not stand up for justice; those who ignore the dignity and honor of Muslims, Islam and the Prophet of Islam; those who do not work for the Islamic Union; of course they will be held accountable."
“CUT YOUR RELATIONS WITH INDIA”
Calling on the rulers of all Islamic countries, especially Turkey, Yaroğlu said, “Take immediate steps to reverse this anti-Islamic attitude of India. Cut off ties with India. Close consulates and send ambassadors to their countries. Suspend any economic relationship. Terminate any agreement between you and India. Build public opinion in the international arena for India to stop these atrocities and force states to impose sanctions against India.”
"WHAT DO WE HAVE MORE VALUABLE THAN OUR PROPHET MUHAMMAD (PBUH) WHOM WE SACRIFICE OUR SOULS FOR HIS WAY?"
Addressing the rulers of Muslim countries, Yaroğlu added, “What are the rulers of Muslim countries still waiting for to take action in the face of hatred of Islam and systematic violence against Muslims in India, which is evident with the recent events? What kind of crime will be committed beyond persecuting Muslims and attempting to insult the religion of Islam and Almighty Allah's Messenger? Let your real political calculations go to the ground. What do we have more valuable than our Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) whom we sacrifice our souls for his way? Why you sit with your hands, tongue, knees tied? Isn't your silence enough, isn't it enough that you're wearing this humiliation? Don't you fear God Almighty?"
