Here goes the Imam again?  How is this a war against Islam? heh heh
Israeli actions are a war against Islam Imam Saja Fatty posits

The Imam of Tallinding and president of the Gambia Islamic Union, Alhagie 
Saja Fatty has described Israeli military attacks on Palestine as ‘a war 
against Islam.’ He was speaking at the official opening of the Kiang Keneba 
Mosque where he said ‘the major aim of Israel and her allies is to fight and 
conquer Islam.’ To forestall such a pernicious intention, the Imam called on 
all Muslims to rise up now and get prepared for the worst in the current 
Israeli-Palestinian conflicts.

‘We should not allow things to continue going on like that. If we don’t 
stand firm our faith will be at stake.’ He admonished that Muslims have 
nothing but Islam and that anything that would stand on the way to the growth 
and consolidation of the faith should be vehemently resisted. Imam Saja Fatty 
sees the intervention of the Muslim Ummah as the only solution that could 
free Palestinians from the clutches of Israeli military power. Therefore, he 
called on Muslim leaders across the globe to join forces with the 
Palestinians to fight Israel. 

To buttress the reasonableness of his opinion, he cited the recent call by 
Omar Wurasu, the representative of the Saudi Arabia Islamic Affairs Ministry 
and director of Omar Bun Hatab Islamic School, on every nation to help rescue 
Palestine from Israeli occupation. He emphasized the importance of Palestine 
to Muslims, as the country where Prophet Muhammed (PBH) answered the calls of 
Allah the Almighty. ‘It is not a political, but rather a religious war aimed 
at conquering the Islamic religion’, he opined, while enjoining all Muslims 
to offer prayers for the peace of Palestine and its people.
