This was stated by JRL leaders Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Mirwaiz Muhammad Umer Farooq and Muhammad Yasin Malik in a joint press release issue today.
Jerusalem represents the religious emotions and aspirations of about a billion Muslims living across the globe. This is our Qibla-I-Awwal and no Muslim can ever accept it as the capital of Zionist state of Israel. By taking this kind of irrational decision, US President Donald Trump is actually showing his imprudent politics, fascist behaviour and enmity against Muslims. This was stated by JRL leaders Syed Ali Gilani, Mirwaiz Muhammad Umar Farooq and Muhammad Yasin Malik in a joint press release issued today.
Terming the US decision as naïve and dangerous for the international peace, JRL leaders said that these kinds of unilateral anti-Muslim decisions are bound to deteriorate and damage already fragile peace and tranquility of the world. No Muslim can ever accept Jerusalem as the capital of Zionist state and so this decision is bound to fail, asserted JRL. Leaders appealed Muslim Ummah to unite against this bizarre US decision and support the Palestinian cause. This world can never taste real peace, tranquility and progress if such kinds of decisions are implemented and instead of resolving the disputes confronting humans more problems are twisted, said JRL.
