Kuwaiti Muslim Brotherhood Leader Tareq Al-Suwaidan – Banned From U.S. For Terror Links – Urges Muslims In The West: We Watch Your Demonstrations On 'Blessed Al-Jazeera TV' And Expect You To Continue;
Turkey-based Kuwaiti Islamic scholar and Muslim Brotherhood leader Dr. Tareq Al-Suwaidan discussed the role of Muslims in the West regarding the Palestinian cause during a March 23, 2025 appearance on Al-Jazeera Network (Qatar). He stated that it is prohibited for Muslims to make permanent peace with the "enemies of Allah," claiming that such an act nullifies Jihad, which must continue until the Day of Judgement. He described peace or normalization agreements as heresy.
Al-Suwaidan emphasized that he does not expect Muslims in Europe to change their regimes or implement Islamic rule. However, he described as "wonderful" the Muslim activism in Western countries, including Europe, America, and Australia. He highlighted the demonstrations in the West on behalf of Palestinians that are broadcast on the "blessed" Al-Jazeera TV, lamenting the lack of such demonstrations in Muslim countries. He added that he expects Muslims to continue demonstrating, pressuring their governments, and providing direct support to their counterparts in Palestine.
Al-Suwaidan was dismissed as the director of the Saudi Al-Risala TV in 2013 after publicly declaring his affiliation with the Muslim Brotherhood. Notably, Al-Suwaidan was an unindicted co-conspirator in the case against the Holy Land Foundation for funding Hamas terrorism and has been banned from entering multiple countries, including the United States and Belgium, due to his ties to terrorism and antisemitic views.

"It Is Forbidden To Make Permanent Peace With The Enemies Of Allah... Peace And Normalization Agreements Are Close To Heresy According To Islam"
Tareq Al-Suwaidan: "Check any book talking about Jihad, and you will see that it is prohibited to make permanent peace with the enemies of Allah.
"All Islamic scholars are in agreement that such a thing nullifies the [validity] of Jihad, which must continue until Judgment Day.
"These treacherous peace and normalization agreements are close to heresy – if not full on heresy – according to Islam.

The Pro-Palestine Movement In The West Is "Exceptional", "A Wonderful Thing"; We Watch The Demonstrations On Blessed Al-Jazeera TV
"We do not expect from our brothers and sisters, the Muslims in Europe – with all the wonderful things that they are doing... We do not expect them to change the regimes in those countries, and instill an Islamic rule there. This is a delusion. We should start with ourselves. But the truth is that what we are seeing of this movement in the West – in Europe, America, Australia, and other Western countries – is a wonderful thing. We watch the blessed Al-Jazeera TV, and we see that all the demonstrations are in Europe, Australian, and America. Our own countries are silent. That movement is exceptional.

"We Expect [Protesters In The West] To Continue To Demonstrate, To Exert Pressure On Their Regimes... And To Provide Direct Support To Your Brothers And Sisters In Palestine"
"We expect them to continue to demonstrate, to exert pressure on their regimes, to make people aware [of the situation], and to provide direct support to your brothers and sisters in Palestine. Continue to deliver aid to Palestine, because most of our routes have been blocked. We expect you to continue. There are wonderful organizations among the Islamic minorities in the West. You should support these organizations."
