17. In every country, there are those who find different religious beliefs threatening…That is what we saw play out the last two weeks, as a crude & disgusting video sparked outrage throughout the Muslim world. I made it clear that the US government had nothing to do with this video & I believe its message must be rejected by all who respect our common humanity… The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam. September 25, 2012 – Two Weeks After Benghazi

18. So…what does this really mean? ‘The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam’ DEFINITION OF BACKBITING & SLANDER Muhammad asked, “Do you know what backbiting is?” They said, “God and His Messenger know best.” He then said, “It is to say something about your brother that he would dislike.” Someone then asked, “But what if what I say is true?” Muhammad said, “If what you say about him is true, you are backbiting him, but if it is not true, then you have slandered him.” (Sahih Muslim 43:102)

25. O People of the Book! Come to equitable / common terms سَوَاءٍ [Sawain] between us & you – that we [1] worship none but Allah; that we [2] associate no partners with him; that we [3] erect not, from among ourselves, lords & patrons other than Allah. If then they turn back, say – Bear witness that we are Muslims (Q 3.64)

27. John 3.16 & Quran 5.33 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life…except for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive to make mischief in the land; they should be murdered or crucified, or their hands and feet should be cut off on opposite sides, or they should be imprisoned. Is this happening today? Yes…throughout the entire Middle East, Asia & Africa… Mention Revelation 20.4

31. “Palestine is ours from the river to the sea and from the south to the north. There will be no concession on an inch of the land,” Meshaal told a sea of supporters at an open-air rally, the high- light of his three-day stay in Gaza. “We will never recognize the legitimacy of the Israeli occupation & therefore there is no legitimacy for Israel, no matter how long it will take.” This isn’t the first time this statement has been made – see next slide

32. Hudna هدنة

33. In an historic vote at the UN on Thursday, November 29, 2012, exactly 65 years after passing the Partition Plan for Palestine, the General Assembly voted by a huge majority to recognize Palestine within the 1967 borders as a non-member state with observer status in the UN. 138 countries voted in favor of the resolution, 41 abstained & 9 voted against: Canada, Czech Republic, Israel, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, Panama and USA. The support of the countries of the world for our endeavor is a victory for truth, freedom, justice, law & international legitimacy, and it provides tremendous support for the peace option and enhances the chances of success of the negotiations. Your support for the establishment of the State of Palestine & for its admission to the UN as a full member is the greatest contribution to peacemaking in the Holy Land. November 29, 2012 UN Vote for Palestine Statehood יִתְיַצְּבוּ מַלְכֵי-אֶרֶץ וְרוֹזְנִים נוֹסְדוּ-יָחַד The kings of the earth stand up & The rulers take counsel together

34. December 29, 2012 Senior Fatah official in the Gaza Strip, Yahya Rabah, stressed that the movement this year will hold a big, central rally in the Gaza Strip on the 48th Anniversary of the beginning of the Palestinian Revolution [1967]. Rabah explained to Ma’an that the event will be held considering the atmosphere of reconciliation & unity that has prevailed in the Palestinian arena in the last few weeks following the accomplishments in the battlefield (the Israel-Hamas military conflict in Gaza in November 2012) and the accomplishments at the UN (i.e., UN vote granting “Palestine” observer status). The organizing committee for the 48th Anniversary approved this year’s main anniversary logo… [The rally] will take place in Gaza to mark the 48th anniversary of the modern Palestinian revolution under the slogan ‘the state and the victory.’” (Al-Hayat Al-Jadida 12-10-12) Skills in English Writing Level 1 – ELT Publishers, Garnet Education (UK) 2012
