The streets of France have become a hotbed of unrest as Muslims rally in support of Hamas. This comes after Khaled Mashal, the former leader and founding member of Hamas, designated Friday as a “Day of Jihad” and called for a global Muslim uprising in support of Palestine.
His call to action resonated with many, leading to widespread protests and demonstrations.
Mashal’s address, which was posted on YouTube, emphasized the need for Muslims to sacrifice and carry out Jihad, including the willingness to offer their lives to advance the Palestinian cause.
He declared the coming Friday as “the Friday of Al-Aqsa flood,” urging Muslims worldwide to express their anger not just in Muslim countries, but also in diaspora communities around the globe.

This call for international unrest is alarming, given the already volatile situation in Gaza and the broader Middle East.
The intention is to send a “message of rage” to Israel and the United States, but the potential consequences could be far-reaching, possibly igniting a wave of violence and discord that could engulf multiple nations.
The most chilling part of Mashal’s speech was his direct appeal for Muslims to engage in Jihad by laying down their lives for the cause. This explicit call for martyrdom in a holy war against Israel is deeply concerning.
It signals a new level of extremism that threatens peace and stability in the region and beyond.
Furthermore, Mashal’s focus on Muslims residing in countries bordering Israel – Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt – suggests an attempt to mobilize a massive force right on Israel’s doorstep. The potential for an explosive conflict here is both real and immediate.

In response to Mashal’s call, thousands of Muslims took to the streets to protest for Hamas in Paris, home to the largest Jewish and Muslim communities in Europe. This led to a tense standoff with the police, who have been tasked with maintaining order amidst the chaos.
The situation took a tragic turn when at least 13 French nationals were killed in the bloody attacks in Israel on Saturday, with 17 still missing. Despite this, Muslims continued to riot in Paris in support of the Hamas attacks against Jews, further escalating tensions.
This unfolding crisis serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of extremism. As the world watches, it is clear that the path to peace is fraught with challenges, but it is a journey we must undertake for the sake of humanity.
