In 2015 , the leader of IUMS speaking about Hamas stated , “ We view Hamas from the perspective of the Palestinian cause , which must remain the pre-eminent cause not just for the union but for all Arabs , Muslims , and free humanitarians in the world . We stand against oppression , tyranny , displacement and detention tactics that Israeli occupation forces rely on ; this is a humanitarian and an international stance . Hamas is defending the rights of the nation , and the nation must stand by those who defend its preeminent cause . ” In 2015 , after the Charlie Hebdo attacks , IUMS condemned the publication of a cartoon of Muhammad holding a “ Je Suis Charlie ” sign with the words , “ all is forgiven ” written below . The group appealed to Muslims to continue to protest but not to resort to violence
