The genocide in Gaza is one that is unparalleled in Muslim history, two million people are being annihilated in the most systematic way, with no escape. On one side stands the fascistic zionist entity and on the other a wall of compliant, tepid, Muslim rulers who have expended zero political capital to help their beleaguered brethren. Instead they feed their imperial north star, the United States, wishing to usher this away so they can continue as usual. A pitiful existence, in a region where Israel looks to undermine any whiff of independence.


But is there a greater problem than the Arab rulers? If the Egyptian army guard the gates of Rafah, where are the Muslim people to hold them to account? If the Islamic faith was founded upon principles of calling out the good and forbidding the evil, then why do so many of us live lives that fail to internalise this disaster, let alone move to hold the conspirators to account. What of the Muslim scholars, our historical north star? How is it that so many of them continue to preach a detachment that preserves their proximity to thrones and funds. Is there a problem with our Islam. This is the question we look at with Dr Farah El-Sharif.
