I’m not “pro-Zionist,” and I’m not here to run cover for Israel or for any state violence. If the IDF (or anyone) destroys Al‑Aqsa or attacks worshippers, that’s wrong and I won’t justify it. A mosque is a place where God is remembered, and harming it—or the people in it—should be condemned. On the Qur’an verse (22:40): I read it as a principle, not a guarantee that holy places will never be violated. It’s saying that if God did not restrain aggression through people opposing it, monasteries, churches, synagogues, and masjids would be destroyed. In other words: unchecked power tends to destroy sacred spaces. So when we see sacred sites being damaged or threatened, that doesn’t “refute” the verse—it illustrates the warning in it, and it strengthens the obligation on people to resist oppression and protect worshippers and houses of worship, whoever they belong to. As for “the nature of worship” in the mosque: I genuinely don’t know what you want me to conclude from the image. If the photo shows people cleaning up after violence, that looks like dignity and service in the aftermath of a tragedy. Cleaning, repairing, and helping each other can be a form of devotion—at minimum it’s a humane response. And yes, it would be good to see Jews, Christians, and anyone else standing with Muslims in protecting worshippers and sacred sites, just as Muslims should stand against attacks on churches and synagogues. My position is consistent: I oppose occupation and collective punishment, and I oppose dehumanization. I can criticize Israeli policies and actions without turning it into hatred of Jews who are in alignment with peace, and I can defend Palestinians’ rights and Islamic holy sites without pretending any party is beyond criticism. Protecting Al‑Aqsa (and every house of worship) should be a shared moral baseline... that said, I do think the bastardized Judaism that supports Zionism is not in accord with peace... nor under the umbrella of what we mutually accept as the definitions of Muslim or Islam... or with those same "Jews" mentioned in Surah 2:62 ... those "Jews" \[the zionist\] are the problem of all they call "Goy".

In other words: unchecked power tends to destroy sacred spaces. Don't you think Masjid Al-Haram (a place of prostration to God alone) set the precedent (e.g. security for His devoted servants)? #Quran chp 6 ver 81-82 "Why should I fear your idols? It is you who should be afraid, since you worship instead of GOD idols that are utterly powerless to help you. Which side is more deserving of **security**, if you know?" Those who believe, and do not pollute their belief with idol worship, have deserved the perfect **security**, and they are truly guided. chp 2 ver 125 We have rendered the shrine (the Ka'aba) a focal point for the people, and a safe sanctuary. You may use Abraham's shrine as a prayer house. We commissioned Abraham and Ismail: "You shall purify My house for those who visit, those who live there, and those who bow and prostrate."

Or those who are yet to abandon all idols are yet to be guaranteed security. #Quran chp 24 ver 55 GOD **promises** those among you who believe and lead a righteous life, that He will make them sovereigns on earth, as He did for those before them, and will establish for them the religion He has chosen for them, and will substitute peace and **security** for them in place of fear. All this because they worship Me alone; they never set up any idols beside Me. Those who disbelieve after this are the truly wicked.
