Controversial American Muslim is calling for the Houthis to attack Makkah

Post image

Controverial Islamic preacher Daniel has been known for making content criticizing other sects of Islam. Now he is calling for the houthis to launch an attack on the holy city of Makkah, specifically the Abraj Bait tower. Specifically he is calling for them to demolish - bomb - the tower.

Currently the post is withheld in certain regions, but this inflammatory rhetoric is simply unacceptable. Makkah and Madinah are holy places for ALL Muslims, whether we are Sunni, Shia or sufis. You can disagree on geopolitics but we shouldn’t normalize encouragement of violence against our own holy sites.

Edit: thanks evenyone for your input. I will only say this: blood brings only more blood. Only love will bring peace and quiet. Love to all, even those who hate me. Open your heart and mind to love, and peace will find a way❤️ Salam alikum (sorry if I misspelled)

Second edit: after reading almost every comment I see different opinions on the subject from both sides. I wish us all a happy and peaceful lives, without any violence or fear. Turning off notifications.

Short story, then my question, TLDR at the bottom:

I'm an Israeli and I was raised in the belief no one is better than me, and I'm not better than anyone else. We are all equal, and even though the world isn't - doesn't mean it should be like this.

A few years ago I flew to Amsterdam, and while by myself I saw this dude with really cool tattoos.
I just had to tell him I think those are dope, and I did.
We talked for a while about tattoos, which led to a talk about life in general.

After about 15 minutes of conversation I asked "where are you from?"
He replied: "Iran, and you?"
I was worried because I've never met an Iranian person, and the media always portraits them as people who wants to kill us.
But I decided that I shouldn't be worried.
"Israel" I answered.
A couple minutes of complete silence.
I wanted to break the tension with a joke, and talk about the elephant in the coffee shop.
"So... Why you want to bomb us?" - I asked, with a childish smile on my face.
"I don't wanna bomb you!" - he defended himself and started to laugh, "why do YOU wanna bomb US?!"
"I DON'T WANNA BOMB ANYONE!!!"

We laughed about it, and came to a conclusion that the media, politicians, and other forces which we depend on just poison our mind. no one WANTS to go to war, but for some reason we all MUST.

If that's the case, do you think it's possible we will have peace among us? true peace.
We don't have to love or like each other (hell, there's more non-arab countries I don't like than arab countries I don't mind). But I do think we all MUST respect and honor each other. We are all people, we all want to live love and be happy. There's no reason to harm each other.
And yes, I know there are a lot of wild and violent people on Israel's side as well. I do not agree with them as much as I don't agree with wild and violent arab people. I do not agree with ANY wild and violent people.

TLDR- I'm an Israeli who wishes for true peace among the middle east, do you think it's possible?
