Donald Trump is not only a convicted felon, self-confessed rapist and fraud but a war criminal. Despite signing the Memorandum of Understanding with Iran on June 18, 2026, he has continued to violate its terms. He is now openly committing war crimes against Islamic Iran.

Committed Muslims have to live according to the teachings of the Qur’an and the Prophetic sunnah. Two principles stand out among many others: Tawhid (Oneness of Allah) and social justice. Adherence to these is what makes an Islamic personality.

The issue of who should have become the leader of Muslims after the Prophet (ﷺ) left this temporary abode is laden with emotions. To understand why the Muslims made certain decisions, familiarity with the environment at the time is important.

While the Arabian rulers in West Asia are incapable of defending themselves, their reliance on the US and zionist Israel has also proved illusionary. Three countries—Islamic Iran, Pakistan and Turkiye—and potentially Egypt can create stability in the region.

The death of the former Emir of Qatar, Hamad bin Khalifa al Thani would be a non-event except that he launched his tiny sheikhdom on the path of total subservience to the US and zionist Israel. Qatar continues to punch way above its weight and could result in serious negative consequences.

August coincides with several anniversaries in Pakistan’s tortuous history. From its fraudulent independence in 1947, to India’s abrogation of Kashmir’s autonomous status to Pakistan’s thuggish generals arresting the country’s most popular leader, Imran Khan. It is a sorry record.

Why does every Pakistan wish to flee the country? The criminals and thieves that rule the country are suffocating the people. Life has become extremely precarious for an average person. Fleeing the country seems to be the only option for survival. Pity the country.

A prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz will bring down the US colossus. Disruption in energy supplies will have a global impact that western economies are incapable of addressing.

Long before the Strait of Hormuz became a contested waterway and America’s illegal intrusion, the narrow waterway was coveted by empires. It is important to know its history and why it matters.

Attacks on oil tankers and vessels in the Strait of Hormuz can be traced to the “tanker war” between 1981-1988. The western-Arabian-Communist-backed Iraqi-imposed war on Islamic Iran was in full swing. The US wanted to cripple Iran’s economy by attacking its oil tankers.
