He has been an integral part of an interfaith religious movement, in which 10,000 religious activists have been fasting on the first day of each month (for the past two years), promulgating governments to fight against global warming.
“Jihad can mean holy war to extremists, but it means struggle to the average Muslim.” – Feisal Abdul Rauf
In the middle of everything that’s going wrong in this world comes a ray of hope for humanity. A Muslim cleric hailing from Norway has been making waves with his speech at the Paris summit.
Meet Imam Ibrahim Saidy, who was in Paris, drawing people’s attention to the problems of climatic change.
Contrary to the extremists’ usage of the word ‘jihad’, he is urging people to wage a war against global warming and the injustices of climate change.
Saidy conceived this idea of an environmental holy movement about a year ago.
“The green jihad is to protect and save lives. To make people aware of the dangers of climate change and fight for climate justice,” said Imam Ibrahim Saidy.
So, will you be part of this ‘jihad’?
