Vigil for missing soldiers

By BRODIE FENLON, TORONTO SUN
  		• Israel roars into Lebanon
    A Toronto vigil tomorrow for a captured Israeli soldier has been expanded to include prayers for another two soldiers snatched yesterday by Hezbollah militants as the escalating conflict in the Middle East ripples around the globe.
    The Israel Solidarity Rally, a vigil for Cpl. Gilad Shalit planned by several Jewish and Christian groups for noon outside the Israeli consulate on Bloor St. W., will now include prayers for two soldiers captured and eight others killed yesterday near the Israel-Lebanon border.
    Also to be memorialized tomorrow are "all those innocent people who have been killed by the terrorists," said Frank Diamant, executive vice-president of B'Nai Brith Canada, which is organizing the vigil.
    As Israel ratcheted up its military response, launching separate assaults in Gaza and Lebanon that killed at least 23 Palestinians -- including a family of seven children and their parents -- tensions rose and opinions split here and abroad.
    Ahmed Motiar, a member of the Muslim Unity Group who helped organize a rally for Palestinian human rights Saturday outside the same consulate, described yesterday's developments as "very grave and very serious."
    Motiar said the Israeli government is using the capture of its soldiers to justify further territorial expansion.
    "The capture of Cpl. Shalit is really not the key issue for the Israeli government. They want to reoccupy Gaza and expand the territory of Israel and make life so miserable that the Palestinians will leave," he said.

    {Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.} (Holy Quran-16:125)

    {And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)

    The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]

    The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)  also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all." [Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
