There are simply no words to describe what we all have collectively been witnessing- horrifying scenes of incessant brutality on our screens while we uncomfortably continue living in hollow comfort. Since that day, the MCF team felt that it was our duty to try to come together to combat such oppression and injustice. Two years later, and, sadly, we are only seeing these calamities increase, with greater and greater resources being poured into the annihilation of innocent mothers and children. The road looks more and more daunting, and the situation appears more and more hopeless. However, we have been given the luxuries we have for a greater purpose- to help those who do not and to raise our voices for those who cannot. Over the past two years, our team has turned its sights towards the defense and aid of our brothers and sisters in humanity. In this spirit, we have been blessed to be joined in this initiative by some of today's most powerful and inspiring voices, including the likes of Dr. @norm_finkelstein, @mahmoudar123, @salhachimi, @harrisjofficial, @isamb_official, @themuslimboxer, @abostani, @amalthepoet, @suleimanhani, @shmohammadelshinawy, @ibrahim.jaaber, @qarinazrulislam, @arobsmusic, @cairphilly, and so many more! By the grace of God and by YOUR generous support, MCF has been able to raise close to $1,000,000 over the last two years in victim aid to deliver essential resources and assistance to the victims in Palestine, via our partner @humanappeal_usa. This is but the smallest, most insugies contiste and the de ah tolshise. He sever, all this means is that our job is so far from over- our work has actually just begun. And we would love to have everyone join us in this initiative to try to repair our broken world and to restore the lives of those who have lost theirs. Please continue to stand tall and never lose hope for those who have not lost it themselves. Thank you and may God reward you all! ________________________ 0:00:00 - Introduction 0:01:13 - Overview 0:02:41 - The History 0:20:55 - "Do you condemn Oct 7th?"
