That Muslims have deep love for the noble Messenger (pbuh) is not in doubt. How this is expressed varies greatly among Muslims. It is important to understand the broader dimensions of the Seerah, in particular his acquisition and use of power to establish justice in society.

The third Khalifah, Uthman’s deviation from the policy established by the Prophet and his two successors (Abu Bakr and ‘Umar) by apportioning a share of the Islamic state treasury to his relatives caused deep unease among most Muslims, leading to deep fissures in society.

That the Zionist settler-colonial entity is illegitimate is well-known. It has managed to maintain its occupation through brute force. Now the practitioners of that force—the Israeli army and air force etc—no longer appear willing to maintain the criminal enterprise.
