The 2025 hajj pilgrimage to Mecca is expected to be from June 4 to June 9. In advance of it, the highest figure in Shia Islam, Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, “says it is imperative on Muslim countries to unite and prevent tribulations similar to what is befalling on Gazans and the people of Yemen.”
The background of Khamenei’s appeal, of course, is the fact that Hamas launched savage attacks upon the people of Israel from Gaza. Likewise, it is the Houthis that are now launching missiles at Israel from Yemen. Israel has a duty to defend its people and existence.
The Organization of Islamic Cooperation has also declared the unity of the Muslim ummah on the Palestinian cause.
And while Western appeasers bend over backwards to avoid connecting politics and Islam, and seeing the attacks on Israel as an Islamic jihad, this fact is widely recognized and declared among the highest ranks in Islam. Note Khamenei’s words about how the hajj is “political.”
“Ayatollah Khamenei: No benefit for Islamic Ummah greater than unity,” Press TV, May 4, 2025:
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says it is imperative on Muslim countries to unite and prevent tribulations similar to what is befalling on Gazans and the people of Yemen.
In a speech in Tehran on Sunday, Ayatollah Khamenei touched on the annual congregation of Hajj, which brings together and unites Muslims from different parts of the world irrespective of their race, color, and culture.
“The Hajj gathering is for the benefit of humanity and there is no benefit for the Islamic Ummah greater than unity,” he told officials and organizers of the Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca, which able Muslims must make at least once in their lifetime.
“If the Islamic Ummah were united, the issues of Palestine and Gaza would not happen and Yemen would not be pressured like this,” the Leader added.
Gaza is the target of a brutal campaign of aggression by Israel which has killed nearly 53,000 people in the besieged Palestinian territory since October 2023 and left it in total ruin….
Ayatollah Khamenei highlighted the political aspect which underpins the role of Hajj, saying that “contrary to the efforts, words, and actions of some who tarnish it, the essence of Hajj is political, its form is political, and its composition is political”.
“Hajj perhaps is the only obligation whose outward form and appearance and its composition are 100 percent political,” the Leader said.
“Gathering people in one place, at one time, every year – everyone who can – the very essence of this gathering together is political.”…

Well Yemen wisely capitulated, and that will stop destruction of their country as long as they don’t start up again.

Unfortunately, there is nothing in President Trump’s message that the Houthis will not for upon Israel. In the last second or two of his message, President Trump asks SOS Rubio to take care of it, But, if I were the U.S., I’d keep at least one carrier group nearby.for a long while.

““The Hajj gathering is for the benefit of humanity ” By “humanity,” he means mozlums only
And in among the demands by the ghoul is a big old …repeated…lie.
quote: “Gaza is the target of a brutal campaign of aggression by Israel which has killed nearly 53,000 people in the besieged Palestinian territory since October 2023 and left it in total ruin….”
Not “aggression,”…defensive payback and a warning to the remainder of hamas and those who support hamas. hamas started the “brutal campaign of aggression” against Israel and Israel is finishing it.
And the number of “people” is way off…inflated by hamas liars.
Let all of the mozlums travel to arabia….let them trample each other to death in their worship of a big black stone, while chanting praise of their demon god. the khamenei ghoul should go too.

Uh, imam, most muslims know that at least in Yemen, the Houthis are shi’a, and thereby Rafidite dogs not worth supporting. On Gaza, there has been the unanimity that you hoped for, not that it has resulted in much more support for you or your shi’a stooges like Hizbullah or Ansar allah
The way they have gone, Gaza will be emptied of Palis, who will be relocated to some other muslim country

That’s rich. The most hated national Muslim leader, who has meddled in other Muslim nations, the killer of the Bahai, the hangman of the opposition, and who couldn’t care less, personally, about Palestinians, calls for unity of the Ummah against the West and Israel. He is rightly frightened that the Karma for his evil is catching up to him.
If Muslims want peace they should remove him and his regime. Persians were once considered the smartest people in the region until 1979. Blessed with enough oil to rival Saudi Arabia yet leadership has squandered it for war and mortgaged the lives of the citizens.

Yes that’s what Dictators do, squander the life out of a nation every time they get in power. They will always in prison or kill their opponents and those who disagree with them.

I really appreciate his pointing out that Islam’s Hajj is 100 % political. Islam is 100% political, it merely includes a religion. What a bargain. You can kill your neighbors and practice your religion at the same time.
Please forward his message to everyone in the West, particularly the White House.

Islam is a political system masquerading as a religion.
