Thoughts on Sudan and reactions from some in the UAE - looking for perspectives
As-salamu alaykum. I hope this stays up - I'm asking for sources and explanations about how some Muslims today defend actions that look like atrocities. What's going on with so many influencers in the UAE saying the events in Sudan are acceptable? To me, what I see on the ground in Sudan looks disturbingly similar to what's been happening in Gaza, just more visible. The images and videos of women and children suffering are horrific. Do people really think these attacks are justified and divinely sanctioned? I recently saw a very disturbing clip on social media showing violent abuse. Are these acts being framed as Islamic by anyone? How do they try to reconcile that with the Quran and the Sunnah? The Qur'an and prophetic teachings set rules for conflict and protect non-combatants - yet these fighters seem to be doing the exact opposite. Does anyone know of UAE scholars, imams, or prominent voices who are offering religious justifications for this kind of behavior, citing hadith or Qur'anic verses? Or any reputable rebuttals that explain why such actions cannot be supported in Islam? I'm trying to understand the arguments people are using and find trusted sources that either defend or condemn these acts from an Islamic standpoint. JazakAllahu khair for any links, quotes, or personal insights - even short explanations help.
