Muslims have the right to fight those who fight them. Do not wait for help from the Security Council or anyone else; liberate yourselves. Look to the battles of Badr and Hunayn in the Holy Quran. Do not turn your backs on your enemy. Islam is a religion of peace, supported by the miracles of the Holy Quran and the noble Sunnah. Islam is God's law for all people, and the call to it continues. šŸ‡øšŸ‡©šŸ‡µšŸ‡øuyghur Muslims in China, The Rohingya Muslim in mynimar and šŸ‡²šŸ‡² šŸ‡ØšŸ‡³šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡øšŸ‡®šŸ‡±
