These fancy facebook protests won't do any thing. A collective bold and practical response is required from the Muslim States.

Why Pakistan's political leaders are so coy to lend their support for the Palestinian people!

@Submitting to One, will protests change the ground realities? What happened after protests to our French Ambassador? Why protests after Friday prayers other than instigate people to destroy properties. Also watch out for the spread of Covid too
