Jamiat president said the results of the recent elections in Israel and the United States send a strong message to those pursuing politics based on hatred, oppression and religious extremism across the world
NEW DELHI — Reacting to the recent election results in the United States and Israel, Maulana Arshad Madani, president of Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, said that the outcomes serve as a lesson for those who spread hatred in the name of religion, divide people, and use oppression and repression as political tools to gain and retain power.
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Madani said the results of the recent elections in Israel and the United States send a strong message to those pursuing politics based on hatred, oppression and religious extremism across the world.
Despite the negative campaign launched by Donald Trump against Abdul Rahman El-Sayed, portraying him as a jihadist, someone intending to impose Shariah law, and a threat to America’s security, El-Sayed’s historic victory has demonstrated that humanity and justice can triumph over hatred.
These election results, Madani said, have sent a clear message that people cannot always be misled through fear, prejudice and hatred.
Maulana Madani said the massacre of innocent children, women and unarmed civilians in Gaza, Palestine, the destruction of residential areas, and the horrifying scenes of hunger and displacement have deeply shaken the conscience of justice-loving and humanitarian people across the world.
He said the voices raised and mass movements organised worldwide against these atrocities have demonstrated that no matter how powerful oppression may appear, it is bound to come to an end one day. The election results, he added, also carry an important message reflecting public anger over the atrocities being committed in Gaza.
Jamiat president said that regardless of the country, forces that use religion as an instrument to gain and retain power and pursue politics of hatred and division must learn a lesson from these election results.
“History bears witness that governments sustained through oppression and repression never last forever. Governments come and go, but the voice of justice, humanity and truth can never be silenced permanently,” Maulana Madani said.
