Saleh Ashour is a former member of the Kuwaiti National Assembly and represents the Justice and Peace Alliance, a Shia party, as its leader (i.e. Emir of Jamaat-e-Islami). He studied economics and served in the Kuwaiti Air Force before being elected to the National Assembly in 1999. His political agenda is rather progressive and anti-racist; and he supports women’s rights reforms while being simultaneously engaged in philanthropic projects.
In his obituary, dedicated to Hassan Nasrallah, he refers to the fact of Nasrallah’s steadfastness in support of the people of Gaza and the Lebanese people while praising Nasrallah's attitude to refrain from appeasing Israel in the Palestinian question "unlike most Arab leaders and presidents." His influence on the social media can be seen as remarkable, based on 167,000 followers on X.
Even more interesting and unambiguous is what Siraj ul-Haq, a prominent Pakistani politician, writes on his X-account:
„ … now the need of the hour is for the Muslim world to unite and fight and liberate Jerusalem from the clutches of the Jews “.
As to Siraj ul-Haq, he is the Emir of Shia Muslims’ Jamaat-e-Islami in Pakistan and held the office of a Senior Minister in the Pakistani government as well as a Provincial Minister of Finance between 2002 and 2015. From 2015 until 2021 he was a member of the Senate of Pakistan. He gained immense popularity in his support for Imran Khan who became Prime Minister of Pakistan between 2018 and 2022. The number of his followers on X reaches an amazing 1,300,000.
So, when it comes to their influence on the social media, both political and religious leaders quoted here might be able to guide the next generation of jihadists and anti-Zionists on their way to 'liberate' Palestine .....
only country where 'the right to personal happiness'
is included in its constitution. From there the official term
of 'Gross National Happiness' (=> Bruttonationalglück).
