27:14Now PlayingIn an emotionally charged sermon at the Islamic Institute of Torrance on December 22, 2023, Imam Mohammad S. Ahmed of Torrance, California, passionately expressed his distress and envy over not being chosen as martyrs, like those in Gaza. He poignantly asked, "What have we done wrong to not be martyrs for the sake of Allah? What have we done wrong to not be blessed like the people in Palestine have been blessed?" These questions underscore his deep longing for the perceived spiritual status of Palestinian martyrs. Ahmed further condemned the Israelis, saying, "The Children of Israel have a long history of cowardice, a long history of wickedness, a long history of murder and occupation, and all kinds of things that Allah has punished them for.” His sermon also highlighted the unique position of Palestinians in his view, as he reflected, "They were chosen for this. This is not our choice, it is the choice of Allah, and He chose them to be the best people living on the face of the earth nowadays." Ahmed's words vividly convey a mix of religious devotion, political opinion, and intense personal anguish.
