Question: 

@QawwamMagazine: The two main competing ideologies for the soul of the Palestinian cause have always been: the secular, nationalist side that rides on Marxist-leninist origins; and the Islamic side that’s much reviled by many, including Palestinians who have accepted the former as the only path towards liberation.

This has always been a struggle for us because these alliances with the left-leaning, secular types were made before most of us were even born — yet now, many of us realize how dumb and useless this angle of the struggle has been.

Should Muslims care about gradually trying to shift the message to one led by piety and Islamic unity so as to not upset this shaky alliance with the left “for Palestine only,” or is it not worth maintaining at all as we thrust into the more religious direction?
