Should a person who is in the right remain silent about stating his right and his point of view out of fear of clashing with people?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : In any case, O Abu Ruhi, we cannot do anything but speak the truth, especially after this truth was declared and exploited and placed in the wrong context. People like these are like the misguiding atheists who say, "Your Lord says:
Woe to those who prayوَيْلٌ لِلْمُصَلِّينَ
" So, complete the speech. What do we do, O you people? We say: We do not say what He, the Exalted, said:
So woe to those who pray فَوَيْلٌ لِلْمُصَلِّينَ
? No, we say Allah said:
(4) So woe to those who pray (5) [But] who are heedless of their prayer - فَوَيْلٌ لِلْمُصَلِّينَ * الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَنْ صَلَاتِهِمْ سَاهُونَ
[Al-Ma'un 107:4-5]
. So, we must now speak, not to incite, but in defense, as you see now. Therefore, it is not enough, may Allah bless you all, it is not enough to say: "By Allah, this does not help," but to say: "This helps." What helps? Show us the right, straight path if we are walking on a path that is not straight. As for pleasing the emotions of people, especially our Palestinian brothers, there is no way to that. Our Lord, Mighty and Majestic, said to His Prophet (peace be upon him), who was the furthest from pleasing humans, but Allah said to him what He said to educate us:
you would have almost inclined to them a little. لَقَدْ كِدْتَ تَرْكَنُ إِلَيْهِمْ شَيْئًا قَلِيلًا
[Al-Isra 17:74]
. So, if the Palestinians are not pleased that we say the word of truth, what do we do? And I say to these people now: You have refugees, you have displaced persons. Did these people fall into the prohibition that Khalidi wrote about, and today in the latest issue he explicitly says and declares: "It is forbidden, forbidden for the Palestinians to leave their homes"? Did you read this article? No, you did not read it. Well, do we follow them and say "forbidden, forbidden," or do we say: ... with your own souls. Our brother 'Azmi mentioned earlier incidents that he saw with his own eyes, likewise, our brother, to the end of it. And we have some little information, among which is: Our brother 'Izzat Abu 'Abdullah told us that a woman, a sister residing here, went to visit her sister in the West Bank. When she entered her house, she found a girl as mentioned in the hadith:
I am to you as Abu Zar was to his wife Um Zar. كنت لك كأبي زرع لأمِّ زرع
Sahih al-Bukhari 5189
, a girl with a waist like a belt, meaning large, oiled, well-fed, and beautiful, and she was wearing a police uniform. The visiting sister asked her sister and the people, "Who is this?" She said, "This is my daughter." This confirms your statement, "This is my daughter." How is she your daughter? The Jews, this wicked one, does not think about the moral aspect, he does not think about the offspring that will grow up under the rule of the Jews in the distant future, what will be their fate.

The questioner : The year 1948.

The Shaykh : Especially since the Islamic states now do not defend the Muslims, but rather defend the Jews. Well, the Muslims in Palestine will be afflicted with what the Muslims in Andalusia were afflicted with! Do you not see that?

The questioner : Yes, indeed.

The Shaykh : It is feared that Allah, Mighty and Exalted, will send aid to the Muslims from Himself, and that will be a favor from Him.
