Muslims Mock Siti Kasim To Start Her Own Darfur Bound Flotilla After She Asks Why No Aid Extended To Sudan

“IT’S really disgusting. Where is the flotilla to (civil war-devastated) Sudan? Where are the PMX and pro-Palestine voices? ”
Such is Siti Kasim’s insinuation over the so-called double standards as reflected in the Madani government’s all-out moral and financial support (notably the RM200 mil funding to-date) to ease the suffering of Palestinians in war-torn Gaza which culminated in participation of Malaysian volunteers in the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) initiative.
She was referencing a Facebook post by one Muhammad Nasri Bin Azhar who among others claimed that the well-to-do Malays are ignoring the plight of Muslims who are suffering in Darfur (Western Sudan region) given “without Israeli presence in Darfur, the emotional game becomes uninteresting”.

“Why don’t you yourself do your part to Sudan for they (GSF volunteers) have done their part,” mooted one commenter to the vocal human rights activist and lawyer.
“Each can do their part … moreover missions to other countries like Cambodia, India, Bangladesh etc are not unheard of. Korban (sacrifices of animals for meat) and food aid have been previously provided.”

Many also entered the fray to mock Siti Kasim by raring her to mobilise her own mission to Sudan.

This prompted an exasperated Siti Kasim to rebut her critics for not understanding her “charity starts from one’s own home” stance.
“Take care of your own home first before getting busy with the affairs of others. If you’re already very rich, by all means go and help other countries.”

Others even stepped up a gear to rally Siti Kasim “to bring along her beloved Chinese supporters to Sudan”.
“Palestine is the land of the prophets; it’s the location of the Al Aqsa Mosque which is a waqf for all Muslims and it is also the qibla of Muslims before Mecca – the historical event of Israj and Mi’raj,” justified one commenter.

“No need to make a big fuss if you’re truly disgusted. Bring along your beloved Chinese fans. Do a humanitarian mission for the sake of Allah.”
However, the justification of “Palestine being the land of the prophets” made one presumably non-Muslim commenter wondered if the GSF mission is tied to religion or that it is purely a “humanitarian mission”.

Well, the bottom line is that certain factions of Malaysians are against the over-prioritising of a single nation especially when taxpayers’ money is used to fund the humanitarian mission and especially “not at the expense of our own backyard problems”.
