Muslims protesters are marking al-Quds Day today by leading rallies in Pakistan and Iran among other countries against Israeli occupation of Jerusalem and violence against Palestinians, reported Friday.

Muslims across the world express their solidarity with the victimised Palestinians on the last Friday of the holy month of Ramazan which is known for fasting.

Iranians are staging anti-Israel rallies across the country, with protesters condemning the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories and chanting “death to Israel.”

Tens of thousands of people are marching in the capital, Tehran, as part of the al-Quds day rallies held each year on the last Friday of Ramadan. Some protesters trampled the Israeli flag and also chanted “down with the USA.”

Iranian state media reports that similar rallies are taking place across the country.

Iran does not recognise Israel and has marked al-Quds day since the start of its 1979 Islamic revolution. Al-Quds is a historic Arabic name for Jerusalem, and Iran says the day is an occasion to express support for the Palestinians and emphasise the importance of Jerusalem for Muslims.

  1. the Hate mongers are having their best day led by the fanatics…The ayatollahs can only justify their theocratic Dictatorship by fostering hate for the west…they have nothing positive or useful to offer just hate for outsiders… what a waste of time and effort…
