What we witness today of the tragedies befalling the Arab and Islamic world fills our hearts with sorrow. We were not created for this humiliation that has spread across every corner of the Arab and Islamic lands.

We are one nation, and I speak not only of Arabs but of Muslims, for we are an inseparable part of this great Ummah. Syria, in particular, has faced this degrading reality and firmly rejected it—both as a people and as a government. Praise be to God that we belong to a land that refuses humiliation and disgrace. Here, no Jewish flag has ever been raised; we have not extended greetings to them, nor sat at round tables as others have done.

Yes, certain political matters have occurred, but they remain limited to diplomatic affairs. The true destruction that must befall our enemies can only come from the masses of these nations. Today, our highest officials sit at negotiating tables and declare “no” to every Jew and American Zionist. Yet our people rush to devour their products, fueling their economies at our expense!

My brothers, we must begin within our own families, refusing to buy or consume any of their products, so that we may not be held accountable before God, and so that we may fulfill the trust placed upon us. This applies to American, Danish, and all other products from those who defy us as Muslims—both governments and peoples. Think before you buy! We do not need them, even if it means giving up much of what we desire.

From the depths of my heart, I extend my special thanks to that noble man whose sincerity and loyalty have shone bright—Mr. Hassan Dalati, supervisor of this site.
