" The Holy Quran says [in a verse] those who are with him [Prophet Muhammad] are hard against the unbelievers and merciful to one to another. Is this hard approach shown against the meant Zionist regime [by Muslim governments]? These are the big pains of the Muslim world. The God will question the Muslim nations for not pressing their governments [to take action against Israeli regime," he asserted.
