I found
this fatwa from Islamonline insisting that jihad on Zionists is obligatory on every Mid east Muslim as well as non Mid East Muslim.
Name of Questioner Sharaf - Saudi Arabia
Title Is It an Obligation to Join Jihad in Palestine?
Question Given the fact that the Jihad in Palestine is currently fard `ayn, and given that the Palestinians have for one reason or another been incapable of expelling the Israeli occupation for the past 50 years, is it therefore obligatory for any Egyptian who can to join the Jihad in Palestine?

Answer
In The Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
Dear questioner, thank you very much for having confidence in us, and we hope our efforts, which are purely for Allah's Sake, meet your expectations.
It is the duty of every Muslim who is truly committed to the tenets of his faith, true to his cause, and supportive to his fellow Muslim brothers and sisters, to back the wronged Palestinians by all means possible. It is a duty that every one has to discharge; it is an effort that must be rendered sincerely.
Responding to the question, Sheikh Faysal Mawlawi, deputy chairman of the European Council for Fatwa and Research, states the following:
"Yes, the Jihad in the Cause of Allah against the Zionists who usurped the Palestinian lands and forcibly expelled the Palestinians from their own homes is an individual duty or fard `ayn on every capable Muslim in Palestine and its neighboring Muslim countries. The reason for that is to unify the stand in resisting the aggression launched by the Zionists who usurped the blessed land. Thus, Jihad is an individual duty on Egyptians, Syrians, Jordanians, Lebanese as well as all Muslim Arabs and non-Arabs till the Jewish occupation is brought to a halt.
In this Jihad, every Muslim should play the role he is capable of. If a Muslim can not participate in the battlefield, he can support the fighters financially. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is reported to have stated that "The one who equips the fighters is as if he contributed in the battlefield."
If one does not have money to provide, then let him perform any other work that is so beneficial to the cause such as writing an article in a newspaper, staging a demonstration that condemns the occupation etc..
The Muslim should do his best in backing his fellow wronged Palestinians. He must boycott all the Israeli products in order to weaken the economy of the Zionists. Unfortunately, some Arab countries are plagued with normalizing relations with Israel and they see nothing wrong in circulating the Israeli products. Muslims of those countries as well as those living in majority non-Muslim countries should be aware of that and they should boycott the Israeli products altogether.
Not only the Israeli products that have to be boycotted, but the American products as well because the US is the prime supporter of the Zionists.
Finally, a Muslim should oftly implore Allah earnestly to grant his fellow Palestinian brothers victory in the near future, in sha? Allah."
So jihad is the duty of every Muslim-Arab as well as non Arab right? :finmad:That is exactly why Pakistani Muslim terrorists in the Mumbai Massacre had little compunction in
slaughtering a Jewish family & leaving a little child orphaned, although Pakistanis have formed their nation after driving out far more infidels & usurping much more land. Or for that matter, nothing held them back from
killing Danny Pearl a few years back.
Of course, it doesn't matter if Islamic movements have either already usurped land or are trying to usurp land from Philippines & Thailand among many other locations
killed thousands in the attempt.
Seriously, I'm amazed!
This is a mainstream site & it advocates either physical jihad or monetary jihad!
Of course, Prophet Muhammad's words & deeds don't exactly help, ever ready with his violent acts & incitement to violence, he said-"The one who equips the fighters is as if he contributed in the battlefield." which Islamonline approvingly repeats.
I can think of only one good thing, Muslims simply can't do without American or Jewish goods, apart from the thousands of stuff that come from U.S.A., if they want to look up anything online,
is founded run by two Jews(apart from many other Jewish stuff!)
So Islamonline better warn its users not to use Google to find fatwas!
