Gaza: 5 Things You Can Do Now

Thursday January 8, 2009
1. Make du'a for the innocent victims of this ongoing conflict. Islam teaches that God listens to the cries of those who call on Him.

2. Respond to the emergency appeals of humanitarian aid workers in the region. Many Islamic charitable organizations have permanent programs in Gaza, and are among those currently on the ground trying to get aid through.

3. Learn about the background and proposed solutions of this conflict. An excellent place to start is the About.com Middle East Issues site.

4. Familiarize yourself with the laws of Islam with regard to armed conflict. Muslims are to follow Islamic standards which are in line with international humanitarian law, regardless of the actions of one's opponent.

5. Join us in the Islam Forum to discuss your views on the conflict. Do you think Israel is justified in its actions? Do you want foreign news media to be allowed in to cover the story? Discuss these issues and more.
