<p style="font-size:10pt;">GAZA, (PIC)&#8211; The Palestine Scholars  League Saturday during a press conference held to mark the second  anniversary of Israel&#8217;s last war against the Gaza Strip said the Aqsa  Mosque is the right of the Islamic people. &#8220;We must defend it, and it  must remain in the believers&#8217; hearts. They must not be distracted from  it even by the other holy sites in Makkah and Medina.&#8221;</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The scholars League is a non-government organization dedicated to tackling issues in Palestine from a religious perspective.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Marwan Abu Ras, chairing the league,  emphasized the need for government officials to make serious efforts in  returning Palestinian refugees to their homes and for forging national  unification, calling the latter a religious, national, moral, and  humanitarian duty.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Palestinians arresting and abusing their  Palestinian brothers over political reasons is a great sin in Islam, the  religious group said, referring to the targeting of Hamas supporters in  the Fatah-controlled West Bank.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The persecution of resistance forces and  freedom fighters in order to satisfy the occupying force is an  unforgivable crime, the scholars added.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The League called the current detention of  women in the West Bank a &#8220;crime greater than all crimes&#8221;, and called on  West Bank scholars to reveal the religious gravity of that.</p>
