OPINION: In a world where division is encouraged, where the weight of history pulls people apart, a Muslim doctor stepped forward to free a Jewish professor in distress. Not because they shared a faith or a nationality, but because he saw an injustice that needed to be corrected, writes Sarah Jane Abraham.
I had never heard of it before, but as I turned the pages, I found myself utterly engrossed, then shocked, and ultimately inspired. This is not just the story of a wrongful conviction or an international legal battle — it is the story of an extraordinary act that few have ever spoken about.The Israeli - Palestinian war has fueled narratives of endless enmity between Muslim s and Jews, shaping political discourse, international relations, and even everyday interactions.
His legal ordeal in the UAE is meticulously detailed in Blood Money, which provides compelling evidence, interviews, and firsthand accounts validating his innocence. As his case gained attention, Dr. Iqbal Survé was contacted by Karabus’s daughter for his assistance. Unbeknownst to Professor Karabus, a decade earlier, he had been tried in absentia and found guilty of manslaughter for the death of a three-year-old leukemia patient in the UAE and sentenced to four years , where he had briefly served as a locum. The charges, dubious at best, had been driven by the father’s demand for blood money — an amount payable only upon a criminal conviction under Sharia law.
Why, then, is this story not widely known? How has such a powerful example of moral courage remained largely unspoken, especially in South Africa? We live in an age where division makes headlines and unity is an afterthought. This book offers an alternative: a world where compassion overrides prejudice, where the nobility of human action outweighs the limitations of labels.
