Black and Bitter.

In light of banks refusing to send money transfers to Somalia for fear of it funding terrorist groups, I started the hashtags ‪#‎IFundFoodNotTerror‬ and ‪#‎Somalis4Remittances‬ on twitter. Support if you are an ally. If you are Somali, chime in! Somalis have been sending money back home for the last 20+ years. The money goes back into the local economy and is a major source of income for many Somalis. It pays for everything from food to school fees to medicine. Every single Somali family sends money back home. If Somalis living abroad can no longer send money to their families it will have DEVASTATING consequences. It is condemning so many innocent people to starvation. I now no longer have a way to send money back to my own family. My brother and sister and father are not terrorists. Neither are the millions of Somalis who rely on money transfers to survive. This isn’t about terrorism. It’s about Islamophobia, anti blackness, U.S. hegemony/imperialism, and capitalism. We refuse to allow this to happen to our families. Somalia deserves to continue to develop. Let’s make some noise about this!

literally maybe u dont see it because your eyes are so far up your ass

murder is strictly forbidden in islam. “If anyone slays a person, it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people.” [5:53] and “Even if you stretch forth your hand against me to kill, I will not stretch forth my hand to kill you. Surely, I fear Allah, the Lord of the entire universe.” [5:28]

forcing someone into the religion/ harming if they are non-muslim is forbidden in islam “There is no compulsion in religion. The right way has become distinct from error.” [2:256]

engaging in aggressive war (as in not defense of own national security or other legitimate safety reasons) is forbidden “But if the enemies incline towards peace, do you also incline towards peace…” [8:61] also “Fight in the way of God against those who fight against you, but begin not hostilities. Lo! God does not love aggressors.” [2:190]

terrorism, or hirabah, is specifically pointed out as LITERALLY one of the highest possible sins in Islam, like literally the punishment for hirabah (rape, murder, robbery, ANY harming of national or individual security) is so terrifying in order to scare the people into not even engaging in terrorism in the first place google it its [5:32]

"sneak attacks"/ambushes are forbidden. Muslim commanders must give the enemy fair warning that war is imminent. The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) at one point gave 4 months notice to an opposing army.

the Prophet (pbuh) narrates “Do not be people without minds of your own, saying that if others treat you well you will treat them well, and that if they do wrong you will do wrong to them. Instead, accustom yourselves to do good if people do good and not to do wrong (even) if they do evil.” [Al-Tirmidhi] this speaks enough for itself

Allah swt said “O my servants, I have made oppression upon myself something impermissible and I have made it impermissible for you to oppress one another. [legitimate sourcing, recorded by  Muslim, Aḥmad , al-Tirmidhī]

“And do not let the hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be just; that is nearer to righteousness.” [5:8]
