British Islamic Scholar Asrar Rashid at Birmingham March for Palestine: We Are Not Ashamed of Armed Struggle – We Have the Concept of Jihad in the Quran; Palestinians Are Justified in Fighting the 'Ba
British Islamic scholar Asrar Rashid spoke at a March for Palestine organized by the Workers Party of Britain in Birmingham on July 12, 2025. He said that Palestinian armed struggle is justified because they are resisting oppression and the 'banker state' of Israel. Rashid stated that Muslims take up armed struggle and are not ashamed of it, as the concept of Jihad exists in the Quran. He said there have been attempts to 'malign' Jihad by equating 'real Jihad' groups with terrorists, explaining that this has existed since 9/11 through Al-Qaeda, 'which was formulated by the West' for this purpose. Rashid called on the British government to arrest those in the Israeli embassy in the UK, but he said they will not do so because 'they control your capital, they control your finance, they write down the policies for you.' Other speakers at the march included former British MP George Galloway, musician Lowkey, and sociologist David Miller.

British Islamic scholar Sheikh Asrar Rashid said in a June 21, 2025 livestream on his YouTube channel that British manufactured weapons are being used to establish 'Jewish supremacism' in the Middle East, in accordance with the teachings of the Talmud. He said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Argentinian President Javier Milei are devotees of the messianic and 'apocalyptic' worldview espoused by Menachem Mendel Schneerson (the Lubavitcher Rebbe), according to which Israel must launch a major war and expand from the Euphrates River to the Nile River, establishing a 'Super Jewish State.'
