The illegal Zionist squatters are at it again: storming the Masjid al-Aqsa, vandalising it and attacking Muslim worshippers. The armed Zionist marauders are backed by the occupation regime's police and other forces. Palestinians are left alone to defend the first qibla of Muslims and the third holiest site in Islam. What will it take to arouse the Muslim world to realize their responsibility toward Masjid al-Aqsa...

Jeremy Corbyn has shaken British politics to their roots. A quintessential anti-establishment figure and anti-war activist, he won leadership of the Labour Party by a landslide securing nearly 60% of the vote. He has also energized the youth and promised to make Britain more tolerant and reduce the grotesque levels of inequality. While he will face many challenges, his leadership campaign has shown he has what it takes to mobilize people...

Another disaster has struck pilgrims in Makkah. This time a construction crane collapsed inside the Masjid al Haram as pilgrims were busy performing the tawwaf. At least 107 pilgrims were killed and another 238 injured. The floor of the Haram was soiled with blood in the most holy of Islam's places...

Mecca is best known as the long-held historically sacred space for global Muslims and the place where over 4 million Muslims conduct a pilgrimage every year. For centuries, Muslims reference the verse, “And pilgrimage to the House is a duty unto God for mankind, for him who can find the way thither,” (3:97) and the rites that were established by Muhammad to carry out this sacred pilgrimage at least once in their lifetime.

Try as they may, the predatory Western powers and their regional puppets--Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, Jordan and Israel--cannot hide the fact that the uprising in Syria is a foreign-backed and supported conspiracy. Julian Assanage of WikiLeaks fame has confirmed yet again in his latest book, the WikiLeaks Files, that as early as 2006, the US had planned to overthrow the government of President Bashar al-Assad...

Why has the refugee crisis evoked such strong sentiments in Europe, the Middle East and elsewhere? We look at the figures that provide clue to what is afoot...

Yemen's revolutionary forces dealt a massive blow to Saudi, Emirati troops killing more than 100 of them. The biggest losses, some 75 troops killed, were suffered by the Emiratis when a rocket fired by Ansaralllah scored a direct hit at an ammunition dump at al-Safer Airport in Ma'arib province causing a huge explosion. A Yemeni general has warned that Saudi cities--Jeddah, Abha and Riyadh--would now be targeted.

The UN Inquiry Commission on Syria has just confirmed what the rest of the world has known for more than four years: the war on Syria is foreign-instigated with mercenaries indulging in rape, murder and mayhem. The UN report coincides with the heart-wrenching story of a Syrian family fleeing from Kobani. The body of three-year-old Aylan Kurdi washed ashore yesterday in Turkey. The family had applied for asylum in Canada but was rejected.

As an Islamic resistance movement, there are certain expectations from the Hamas leadership. It must conduct itself in a manner that evokes confidence not only among its members but also its supporters elsewhere.

The takfiri terrorists rampaging through the Muslim East (aka the Middle East) and the neocon/Zionist warmongers are two faces of the same coin. They are in fact one and the same entity, only using different labels. True, the takfiris are junior partners in this unholy alliance and are used to provide justification for the warmongers’ end-less wars and mayhem.
