END NOTE: While we can share this piece of good news about how some Hollywood Actors have directly or indirectly supported the cause of Palestine, it should be remembered that being Muslims we should be careful about following these celebrities. It is because we know that our salvation lies in clinging to the principles of Islam as much as we can depending on our respective circumstances and environments. Hence, we need to draw some lines in between whenever we are addressing such issues. There is no doubt that many Non-Muslims are much finer human beings than many Muslims themselves though!
