Following Hamas’ killing of six hostages over the weekend, the Global Imams Council released a statement strongly condemning the terrorists.

From The Jerusalem Post. The Global Imams Council has released a statement condemning the murder of hostages at the hands of Hamas terrorists.

Discuss issues you care about with other intercessors.

 

The statement, which was released on the Global Imams Council’s X (previously Twitter) social media account on Sunday, September 1, 2024, referred to the actions of Hamas as ‘barbaric,’ stating, “We are deeply saddened and outraged by these heinous murders, which violate all principles of humanity, religious teachings, and international law.” …

The statement, issued at the Islamic Seminary of Najaf in Iraq, held Hamas alone responsible for “the deaths and suffering of all innocent lives lost since October 7 …”

A call to action

The statement concluded with a heartfelt message to the families of the victims of the Israel-Hamas war, as well as a call for all religious leaders to stand against Hamas’ terror …

Share your prayers for the people of Israel and the remaining hostages below.

Thank you Father for moving these leaders to condemn Hamas. May we as a nation truly support Israel. Use this as an opportunity to change hearts to Jesus as the Messiah, both Jews and their enemies.

I am glad that the Global Imams Council has come out condemning hamas as evil I hope they are sincere and will continue to condemn the actions of those who want Israel destroyed. Maybe they should make a public statement blessing 🙏 Israel wouldn’t that be great 😇. So sad 😢 the democrats haven’t taken such a united stand nor has our media but until they ask God to forgive their sins and sin no more they will remain silent. Pray and Trust in God.
🙏😇🙏

Lord, You know the thoughts and motives of all humankind, and You will hold all accountable. The hostages were taken and held for almost a year against their will. I do not recall any outrage from the islamic imams for that injustice. I do not recall any attempt on their part to hold hamas responsible for the atrocities committed on October 7. So I question the sincerity of their condemnation of the latest atrocity in the ongoing attempt to rid the world of Jews and the state of Israel. But You know and will judge righteously.
I cry out to You for the remaining hostages, and ask that You intervene miraculously to rescue them. Raise up Rahabs to provide intel and to give aid to the hostages, and grant them Your protection. I also ask that You deliver those held captive by the deception of islam. I pray that You would encounter them, and grant them repentant hearts and faith to believe in Yeshua, and to renounce and reject the idolatry of islam.

Please note that Hamas is NOT Islam. Nowhere does Islam say to commit the atrocious acts Hamas has committed. Politicians may use the name of Islam to say to commit them, but NEVER does Islam approve or allow of such acts.

People, let us focus on the acts. Jews, Christians, and Muslims are Abrahamic cousins. Please stop trying to turn horrific actions (which all three groups have at one time or another committed) into family rivalry and condemnations. All three of these religions share similar values when one stops fighting each other and really looks at those deeper values. Condemn actions, not your cousins.

“Let this be recorded for a generation to come, so that a people yet to be created may praise the LORD; that He looked down from His Holy height; to hear the groans of the prisoners, to set free those who were doomed to die, that they may declare in Zion the name of the LORD, and in Jerusalem His Praise.” Psalm 102: 18-21 Trusting & praying LORD for Your powerful, miraculous intervention & deliverance from evil for the Hostages and all of Israel. May they not lose heart and continue to be strong & courageous in the Name of Jehovah-Shammah. Thank You LORD that You are Victorious and that those who are Your enemies will not prevail. In YESHUA’S name. Amen.

Just as horrific as the murder of millions of innocent unborn babies
Shoot them in the head,
or crush their heads and rip off their body parts
Oh yeah the last part is sanctioned By multiple governments.
Death only if it profitable
Let’s keep things in perspective. My heart goes out to those six but my heart also goes out to those millions.

Lord of Life, We praise and thank you for the precious gift of life. Thank you for the courageous statement from the Islamic seminary in Iraq that condemns the jihadic and brutal killing of hostages by Hamas. We are grieved by the brutality of demonic antisemitism we see on display around the world and ask that you continue to give wisdom.and courage to all lawmakers, law enforcement agencies, lawyers and judges to bring justice for the victims. We continue our pleas for your protection of Israel, the peace iof Jerusalem, and salvation for all you have chosen from the foundation of the world. In the precious name of Jesus. Amen
