Rotterdam: complaint about Tariq Ramadan prayer

"God, strengthen their belief, those who are in Palestine, and let them celebrate their victory over their enemy, your enemy, enemy of the faith."

"Let Islam and the Muslims triumph and let your word triumph everywhere."

"The VVD party (People's Party for Freedom and Democracy) in Rotterdam published a translation of the following clip, in which Tariq Ramadan [also an Oxford University professor] is praying for the Muslims of Palestine.

The VVD demands explanations as to how such prayers affect the context of his job as adviser to the municipality.

(...)

(2:47) God, let your light and appearance descend on their grave. God, strengthen the belief of our brothers and sisters in Palestine.

(3.13) God, strengthen their belief, those who are in Palestine, and let them celebrate their victory over their enemy, your enemy, enemy of the faith.

(3.26) Only with your victory and mercy, you generous God. Allah, strengthen their belief in Palestine, in Chechnya, in Afghanistan, and in Morocco, and in Algeria, and in Tunisia, and in Egypt, and in Sudan, and in Kashmir, and in the whole world and out of the way places, you merciful God.

(4.01) Accept everything of them, and let them stand with both feet on the ground, and give them a place in your paradise, with the chosen believers and with the martyrs.

(4:15) God, strengthen their belief, those who are in prison and who live under torture. They are innocent. God, our enemies, your enemies, and enemies of the faith, let us leave to you.

(4:38) Let Islam and the Muslims triumph and let your word triumph everywhere. (...)"
