Without getting rid of the Najdi Bedouins from power in the Arabian Peninsula, the Muslim world is unlikely to see peace or progress.

The one area Muslims are really far behind is the media front. There is urgent need for effective independent Muslim media.

The newsmagazine of the Islamic movement offers critical information lacking in other media outlets, says this reader.

This reader appreciates Crescent’s coverage of the Yemenis’ suffering that regrettably has been largely ignored by others.

The Najdi Bedouins in illegal occupation of the Arabian Peninsula are notorious savages. Even the UN agency, UNICEF has now confirmed this in its latest report on the first anniversary of the Saudi-led assault on Yemen. UNCEF reports that children are the principal victims of Saudi barbarism. Nothing is safe in Yemen: hospitals, schools, playgrounds, houses and even open air markets where civilians go to buy food.

Zionist Israel can do no wrong even when its soldiers execute wounded Palestinians lying unconscious on the ground as happened in Hebron on Thursday March 24. Equally disturbing is the non-reaction of other soldiers to the cold-blooded murder. It is clear that Zionist soldiers murder Palestinians without any regard for human life or any worry that they may face the law. Killing Palestinians is a way of life in the Zionist utopia.

After a five-year trial, Radovan Karadzic, the Serbian terrorist and mass murderer was sentenced to 40 years in jail for killing 8,000 Bosnian men and children in Srebrenica in July 1995. His other crimes--crimes against humanity and war crimes--were in addition. Most people felt it was not enough. He should have been given at least a life sentence. After all, he got only 1.85 days for each murder. Is that justice?

The terrorist attacks in Brussels killed at least 34 people and injured hundreds of others. The attacks have been widely condemned. Beyond such condemnation, what is needed is to go to the root of the problem: alienation of Muslim youth because of rampant racism in Europe, and the terrorist producing factory called Saudi Arabia. If Western governments turn a blind eye to Saudi poisoning of the minds of Muslim youth, this problem will fester.

The Kurds are spread over different countries, the victims of colonial carve-up of the Muslim East (aka the Middle East) but they tend to make decisions that are not in their own best interest. Their latest move, a declaration of autonomy in northeast Syria is one such example. This is likely to complicate the possibility of achieving a political solution to the 5-year-old war on Syria.

While there is war raging in the inner sanctums of Bani Saud, the two head honchos are also going head-to-head to accumulate brownie points to prove their eligibility for the throne. The majority of senior princes are extremely unhappy with the way the kingdom's policy is being conducted. Defence Minister Mohammad bin Salman's failures are piling up but being son of the king is his big advantage. Mohammad bin Nayef has struck back.
