Islamic Scholar Suhaib Webb at NJ Mosque: SJP and Other Student Groups Have Shown that Activism Can Go Hand in Hand with Islamic Observance; Imams in Campus Encampments Have Been Unafraid to Say that Being a Zionist Is Like Being Part of the KKK

In an October 18, 2024, lecture at the Islamic Society of Central Jersey, American Islamic scholar Suhaib Webb stated that student activism can go “hand in hand” with Islamic practice. He praised Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and other student groups for inviting imams to lead prayers at their encampments. Webb highlighted that imams like Imam Farhan Siddiqi of Dar Al-Hijra Islamic Center in Falls Church, Virginia, along with other imams from Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia, regularly visited these encampments to lead prayers and offer Islamic lessons. He commended these imams for their fearlessness in asserting that Zionism is equivalent to white supremacy, and that being a Zionist is no different from being a member of the Ku Klux Klan. The lecture was streamed live on ICSJ-TV on YouTube.
