Colorado Imam Karim Abu Zaid In Illinois: The West Invented The Notion Of 'Abrahamic' Faiths To Legitimize Israel In The Region; If Jews Want To Follow Moses, They Should Also Follow Jesus And Muhamma
Abu Zaid stated that Muslims are not like the Western world and that tolerance does not mean compromising their belief system in order to appear tolerant. He added that Muslims are the true followers of Moses, not the Jews, and that if the Jews want to be among the true followers of Moses, they should follow Jesus and then the Prophet Muhammad.
Karim Abu Zaid: "The Western world realized that the conflict in the Middle East is based on religion. They realized that faith is the shaker of this part of the world. People believe in something there. Now, we inserted a body called the Zionist State of Israel within that environment. You've got Christians and Muslims... These are Zionists.
[...]
"[They said:] 'Let us come up with something that can be put together.' Like let's put Islam, Christianity, Judaism in a mixture and blend them together, and maybe add some spices here and there, some Buddhism, some Hinduism, and produce something called the Abrahamic faith.
[...]
"We are not like you.
[...]
"Tolerance, being tolerant, is in the area of treating people, interacting with people justly and fairly. But I'm sorry, I cannot compromise my belief system in order to appear tolerant to you.
[...]
"And you've got Muslim countries who are engaged in this conspiracy. Brothers and sisters in Islam – the Abraham Accords, the normalization, you hear that going over and over again... It will not sell, brothers and sisters in Islam.
[...]
"We are the true followers of Moses, not them. If the [Jews] want to be amongst those followers of Moses, they should follow Jesus and then Muhammad."

Putin meets Iran's Larijani for nuclear talks
Shafaq News – Moscow Russian President Vladimir Putin held an unannounced meeting in Moscow with Ali Larijani, senior adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, the Kremlin announced on Sunday, citing discussions focused on Tehran's nuclear program and broader regional developments. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov indicated that Larijani provided an update on the evolving regional landscape, including recent movements related to Iran's nuclear file. Putin, in turn, reaffirmed Russia's longstanding position in favor of regional stability, urging for a political resolution to nuclear-related tensions. The encounter followed days after Moscow rejected reports suggesting Putin had urged Tehran to accept a US-brokered proposal limiting uranium enrichment. Separately, a German source informed AFP that Britain, France, and Germany are preparing to reopen dialogue with Tehran in the coming days. Iran, however, has signaled unwillingness to reengage under current conditions. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi ruled out the prospect of resumed talks, stating that discussions with Western powers could only proceed once they are ready to offer what he described as a 'mutually beneficial' framework. Tehran continues to assert that its nuclear activities are intended solely for civilian purposes and rejects accusations of seeking to develop nuclear weapons.

Colorado Imam Karim Abu Zaid In Illinois: The West Invented The Notion Of 'Abrahamic' Faiths To Legitimize Israel In The Region; If Jews Want To Follow Moses, They Should Also Follow Jesus And Muhamma
Colorado‑based imam Dr. Karim Abu Zaid said in a Friday, July 4, 2025 sermon at the Islamic Community Center of Des Plaines, Illinois that the Western world has realized the Middle East revolves around faith and religion, and that the Zionist State of Israel has been planted in a region of Muslims and Christians. This led them, he said, to "blend" Islam, Christianity, Judaism, and "spices" from other faiths to create what he called the "Abrahamic faith." Abu Zaid stated that Muslims are not like the Western world and that tolerance does not mean compromising their belief system in order to appear tolerant. He added that Muslims are the true followers of Moses, not the Jews, and that if the Jews want to be among the true followers of Moses, they should follow Jesus and then the Prophet Muhammad.

A Cry For Humanity: The Druze People Amid The Tragedy In Syria
In the heart of Syria, a quiet and resilient community is being silenced – again. The Druze, a peaceful religious minority known for their deep-rooted traditions of tolerance, loyalty, and spiritual wisdom, are facing a new chapter of pain. Innocent families, women, and children have fallen victim to horrific acts of violence. Entire villages have been assaulted. Elders who stood for dignity were humiliated. Children who once dreamed of peace now live in fear – or worse, are no longer with us. Sheikh Dr. Kasem Bader On July 15, reports from southern Syria indicated that Syrian government military forces forcibly shaved the moustaches of Druze men. Jews endured the same treatment under the Nazi regime. On July 16, 2025, the Syrian Observatory of Human Rights (SOHR) published on its Facebook page a video showing a Syrian soldier wearing an ISIS patch on his body armor. In the video, the soldier said that the Ansar Al‑Tawhid Brigades of the Syrian 82nd Division were preparing to enter the Druze city of Sweida in order to "purify it" from what he called the "filth" of Druze leader Hikmat Al‑Hijri and his followers. (Source: See MEMRI TV clip 12156, Syrian Soldier Wearing ISIS Patch Says Before Entering Druze City Of Sweida: We Will Purify The City Of Druze Filth, July 16, 2025) What Is Happening In Sweida Is A Humanitarian Crisis As someone from this community, I speak with both heartbreak and urgency. What is happening today in Sweida and the surrounding regions is not just a regional conflict. It is a humanitarian crisis. Extremist groups have targeted our people simply for who we are – people of faith, of peace, of coexistence. We do not seek vengeance. We do not raise weapons in hate. We raise our voices in truth. The world must know: The silence surrounding these atrocities is deafening. Where is the international community? Where are the protectors of human rights? Where is the justice for children executed in front of their parents? For mothers who have buried their sons? For holy men who were dishonored in their homes? This is a call for action – not tomorrow, but today. We, the Druze, are few in number but strong in spirit. We are not asking for privilege. We are demanding protection. Recognition. Intervention. *Sheikh Dr. Kasem Bader is a Druze leader, President and Founder of the Universal Peace Council for Human Rights.
