Good morning,
This week marks the completion of the holy month of Ramadan with the observance of the Islamic festival called Eid-ul-Fitr. This marks the completion of the month of fasting by giving thanks and praying for peace, especially in light of what is happening in the Middle East right now.
Last week, I was called to join the Fox News program “The Kelly File,” hosted by Megyn Kelly to discuss the conflict in Gaza. In particular, they wanted me to address their view that the people of Gaza have brought this large death toll upon themselves by electing Hamas into authority. This was in line with an op-ed that appeared in WSJ last week that argued that the people of Gaza had forfeited the right to be considered civilians in this war since they elected Hamas.
Here is the video of my interview:
My prayer continues to be that innocent lives are saved from the brutal deaths they have had to face, especially over the past few weeks. Nothing justifies the taking of an innocent life. This is a basic commandment of my faith that I cannot compromise on.
Best Regards,
Harris Zafar
