Salafist Call Statement on Brutal Killing of Muslims Occurred in New Zealand

All praise is due to Allah, and may blessings and mercy be upon His Messenger!

Before the mission of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), the world was full of the ignorance-pre-Islamic fanaticism, arrogance shown to each race by the others, and fighting for no objective or end except for the purpose of gaining victory by some race over another. Then the defeated race would keep gunning for the victor even for dozens of years until it was forced to taste the same taste of defeat! Thus, the war lasted between the Persians and the Romans, and other nations had to be in alliance with one of the two, in both fighting and concluding peace treaties.

While they were doing so, Allah (SWT) sent Muhammad (PBUH) calling for the worshipping of Allah alone without any partner, and calling for the renunciation of such fanaticism, as Allah revealed to him, "Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you." (Quran 49:13).

And the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, "There is no privilege for an Arab over a non-Arab, a non-Arab over an Arab, a white man over a black man, or a black man over a white man, except in righteousness" (Narrated by Imam Ahmed and verified by Imam Al-Albany).

In Islam, righteousness is the believers' true linkage to one another, as Allah (SWT) said, "The believing men and believing women are allies of one another. They enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and establish prayer and give zakah (alms) and obey Allah and His Messenger. Those - Allah will have mercy upon them. Indeed, Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise." (Quran 9:71).

Such linkage never results in causing havoc or wronging others, as Allah (SWT) addressed the believers, in accordance with their belief in, and fear of, Him, commanding them to fulfill all contracts, as He said, "O you who have believed, fulfill [all] contracts." (Quran 5:1).

Amongst those contracts was the Constitution of Medina which set the principles of a state that was great due to its system, justice and inclusion of a Jewish minority, which had always been unwelcome by the empires, although the state was established on a small area which could hardly be shared by two tribes before Islam.

Even with the relationship with other states, the Islamic Sharia drafted the highest legislations for peace and wartime, and thus the Muslim Ummah prevailed among the world and established its great civilization, as faith linkage and Islamic loyalty encompass all Muslims regardless of their race, and the umbrella of righteousness and benevolence encompasses whoever is peaceful to them whatever their religions or races are, as Allah said, "Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly." (Quran 60:8).

When the time has changed, and those fanatic nations became leaders of the world once again, they returned to leadership with their racial, nationalistic, religious and sectarian fanaticism, and thus they led the world into two world wars which devastated everything!

Now after they had been caught in the cross-fire, the nations started to establish principles for peaceful coexistence, built world organizations for the same reason, and of course they peacefully coexisted, yet reluctantly, lest any reckless behavior would turn them back to the battlefield again.

Although the vast majority of these nations have been able to overcome their racial extremism tendencies against certain nations or ethnicities inside Europe, yet this is not the case with regard to the Islamic civilization against which many Western intellectuals and politicians have still been bearing grudge, and those of them who have not taken action accordingly, were afraid that the Islamic civilization would revive due to its qualifications for leading the world wisely and rationally, to the extent that Allah's statement became true for them, "Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, and what their breasts conceal is greater." (Quran 3:118).

This global system kept calling Muslims for removing the concepts of loyalty, Jihad and others form their dictionary, claiming that they are outdated, global peace has prevailed, and so on!

In fact, most of that which they want Muslims to accept is consistent with the Islamic Sharia, without any removal or distortion, as it has legislated the fulfillment of all contracts. So if they were truthful in their commitment to what they declared, it would be sufficient for them to pledge, jointly with Muslims, to do so, but, alas, they are devious; they are manipulators and stalkers; they want us to teach our children defeatism and remove all means of self-immunity and civilizational resistance from our dictionary, while they are imbuing grudge and infinite hostility in their children.

With that in mind, all leaders of the Zionist entity behave with Arabs and "Al-Aqsa Mosque" accordingly, riding roughshod over all United Nations resolutions, for they fear no penalty, as they know that neither the United Nations nor the Security Council can do anything. Moreover, they know that the major States in such organizations are actually cool with this, and even inciters to it, even though there might appear some statements of disapproval, yet such statements disappear quickly by their use of the veto, which is on the lookout for any penalty that might encounter the Zionist terrorism!

Against this background, the brutal terrorist attack was carried out by a gunman against peaceful Muslims during the Friday Prayer in New Zealand.

What makes the crime even more brutal and makes the Western society as a whole vulnerable to accusations, is that the villainous terrorist sent a message to the NZ Prime Minister, expressed his intention to commit the crime on Facebook 10 minutes before it occurs, and streamed a video of his crime during its perpetration, however, none of the human rights associations, police, intelligence, etc. took an immediate action!

Moreover, he had committed a crime in a mosque before he went to another which was 4 kilometers far from it, when he was joined by two more people, while the police had been absence and did not arrive until one hour after the perpetration was done!

A few hours later, two gunmen tried to target a Muslim while he was in his way back from the Friday Prayer in London.

After this distressing presentation of such tragedies,
1- We extend our most sincere condolences to the families of those who were killed during this treacherous incident of all Muslim communities there, we pray that Allah accepts them as martyrs, and we say to their families, "To Allah belongs what He takes and what He gives, and everything has an appointed (limited) period (in this world). So endure patiently, and expect the reward of Allah."

2- Such incidents are a letter of caution sent to anyone who messes around with the fundamentals of Sharia for the purpose of satisfying the West or anyone who is deluded by the notion that now is the time for its modernization, as claimed by some people, alas, while they mean that these fundamentals should be distorted or removed from religion! We call for its modernization in the sense that the wrong interpretations pinned on them by ISIS and its likes, and the selective use they make in dealing with these concepts should be removed, but this modernization should be done by means of restoring the correct and complete understanding of these concepts, rather than doing a counter selectivity of texts or removing these concepts totally from Sharia!

3- Every attempt to recall the crimes of ISIS and others within this context is somehow an underestimation of the original perpetration by the criminal, as the Western aircraft used to fly over Syria and Iraq while ISIS were moving, extending and taking over oil fields, so who is actually responsible for the ISIS phenomenon?!

4- The criminal himself posted a detailed manifesto just before the crime, explaining his motives for this, a manifesto that is full of abhorrent racism! He mentioned neither ISIS nor others; he only mentioned that he was afraid of the extension of Muslims to the extent that there would be no room for the Westerners, and, thus, the solution to this, for him, was either to expel Muslims from his countries or to kill them, and he did the second. So, indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return.

5- Why are all Muslims being held accountable for the crime of ISIS?!

Even Islam itself is being held accountable for this, and Muslims are being required to distort Islam and remove some of its legislations, while such criminal is dealt with as an individual who committed a crime, without holding, at least, all those who share the same ideology accountable for this, as they are numerous, including a senator in the Australian Parliament?!

Why the sources of this terrorist ideology are not being kept in sight, though they are manifold, including religious, philosophical, and political ones.

A proof for such selectivity when dealing with Muslim-related incidents is that when a young child threw an egg at the Australian senator during a press conference, which is an accepted way of expressing one's protest in democratic states, otherwise, at most, the public figure against whom they protested may file a lawsuit against the protester, however, in this case, the senator slapped the child severely on the face, and six of his bodyguards knocked him down and grappled him, and they were not deterred by the video cameras which recorded this huge amount of hatred which is not less, in violence or in firing, than the shots of the killer.

6- Again, we repeat and reaffirm that the actions of ISIS and its likes have been totally condemned by all Muslim countries and by Muslim scholars who proved through Islamic evidence that all that they do has nothing to do with Islam, and, thus, they exclusively must be held accountable for their own crimes, yet all Muslims are being held accountable! Whereas the New Zealand massacre is a civilizational crime in all standards, the Western media insisted that it was a personal crime committed by an individual person, although dozens of people encouraged him during his live stream, who are actual co-perpetrators, not to mention the instigators and inciters whose number is great.

7- The "Salafist Call" calls upon the "Organization of Islamic Cooperation", and all the presidents and kings of the countries of the Islamic world not to let these incidents go unnoticed, and to make it a starting point for taking up the issues of the oppressed Muslims in Palestine, China, Burma, and every corner of the earth.

8- The Muslim communities all over the world represent a lively call to Islam, similar to the role played by Muslim traders with respect to the spread of Islam in Eastern Asia during the early ages, through whom people learn about the Islamic legislations that regulate the issues of family and society, and the Islamic ethics, and, thus, many of them shall embrace the religion of Allah, as He accepts nothing but bringing His light to its fullness, even if the disbelievers may dislike that. So, we advise them to remain steadfast in their embrace of religion, to be proud of it and to show its rituals. We ask Allah to keep them steadfast, and to protect them from the evil plots.

9- The "Salafist Call" calls upon Muslim countries to host Muslim expatriates and immigrants, who want to live in the lands of Islam or who are expelled from their lands.
If the Islamic countries were a safe haven for Jews and others who fled the "Inquisition" in pursuant with the principles of our honorable Sharia, which protects the weak, shelters the oppressed, invites to Allah with wisdom and good admonition, and does not ask anyone to abandon his religion and embrace Islam in exchange for a piece of bread or a sip of water, yet it wants that whoever may embrace Islam should embrace it after the certainty fills his heart with the truthfulness of this religion. If we have hosted non-Muslims in a period of history, so now we should, at least, host those Muslims who want so.

10- Allah said "And there is for you in legal retribution [saving of] life, O you [people] of understanding, that you may become righteous" (Quran 1:179). So He (SWT) clarified that the legislation of legal retribution for the murderer is a way for the stability of life, as it implies deterrence for those who think of committing such heinous crime. However, many Western countries call for the abolition of the death penalty to avoid the possibility of mistakes that could be made by a judge in proving a murder, and exerting pressure on the Islamic countries to abolishing it, yet Egypt and other Muslim countries have abstained from signing agreements to abolish the death penalty as this would violate the Islamic Sharia. Since New Zealand does not support capital punishments, this may explain the indifference attitude of the criminal who has personally documented his own crime by recording and live-streaming it! So all praise is due to Allah for the grace of Islam, for what a sufficient grace it is!

11- Finally, we say: "By its very opposites, things are distinguished." So all these moral crimes should be encountered by Muslim preachers through showing the Islamic greatness, perfection, good legislations, justice, fairness, and mercy even when it comes to adversaries!

We pray that Allah (SWT) may shape for us right conduct in our plight, and conduct our matters because we cannot, and, indeed, He is the best guardian and supporter!
