An odd assortment of tyrants, oppressors and war criminals masquerading as champions of democracy stand exposed by their unsavory behaviour.

That the US lost the war in Afghanistan is not in doubt. Unfortunately, it is not done yet and continues to inflict more harm on the Afghan people, this time through starving the most vulnerable: children and women. It reconfirms US rulers as mass murderers and war criminals.

Tackling the sensitive issue of succession of Muslim leadership after the Prophet (pbuh) joined heavenly company, Abu Dharr guides readers through the ground realities at the time and peels away the layers of prejudices that have shrouded those events in early Islamic history.

That the US-centric world order is no more is self-evident. China and Russia have re-emerged to challenge US imperialism. Hitherto, US imperialist adventures were financed by petro-dollars. This fraud not only needs to be exposed but it will lead to the expulsion of US from Eurasia.

In terms of population and landmass, the UAE is tiny. Yet it continues to act way above its size and significance. Barely 50 years ago, the Bedouins wandered with their camels and tents wandered in the desert. Today, they are acting as if they are big players. It would be in their interest to realize their limitation before their concrete and glass towers come crashing down.

Hindutva fascists have been so emboldened that they are now openly calling for the genocide of Muslims in India. That they could even think of exterminating 200 million inhabitants is mind-boggling but not surprising. Unfortunately, the rest of the world continues to turn a blind eye to these dangerous developments.

Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler, Mohammad bin Salman (MbS) is anxious to present an image of being a ‘moderate’. His crimes, however, are so egregious that they continue to hang around him like a bad odor. His moderation is a fraud as thousands of people continue to languish in Saudi jails and executions continue at an alarming rate.

The removal of Fatemeh Anvari from her teaching position at an Elementary School in Quebec once again shines light on racism in the French-speaking province. From rectifying this clearly Islamophobic act, the Quebec premier doubled down saying Ms. Anvari should not have been hired in the first place. Unfortunately, federal politicians have also failed the Muslim citizens of Canada.

The response of some people in Europe and North America to the pandemic and its cure has brought to the fore the dysfunctional nature of Western politics. Nato regimes can no longer lecture others about science and its supremacy when their own populations are up in arms against it.

Ethiopia has been faced by a Tigrayan rebellion that has now spread to other parts of the country as well. Imperialist and neo-colonialist intrigue is clearly evident.
