The takfiri terrorists backed by the primitive Saudi regime only know how to destroy and kill. Their latest outrage was committed in Sana'a, Yemen's capital, where two takfiri suicide bombers in a hurry to go to hell, blew themselves up inside two mosques killing 130 people as they had gathered for Jumuah (Friday) Prayers. Hundreds of others were badly injured. The takfiris claimed responsibility for the attack, as reported by the BBC.

وإذا كان مكدونالد يفتتح فروعًا خاصّة بالمترفين في أماكن تجمعهم، وقد لا توجد على لائحة فروعه العلنية، فإن الفروع العلنية نفسها تخضع الجودة فيها لتدرّج هرمي حسب الشرائح والطبقات المخاطبة وأماكن وجود هذه الفروع. لكن المنتج المصري المقلّد للنمط لا يمكنه بناء مثل هذه الازدواجية في معايير الجودة لسببين: أولهما أنه ليس بماركة عالمية ذات ألق يحفظ عليها الطلب مهما انحدرت القاعدة الطبقية المستهلكة لمنتجاتها، وثانيهما ينبني على الأول؛ ذلك أنه يعيد تشكيل هويّته كل فترة، ليس بناء على معايير صارمة مفروضة من أصحاب العلامة التجارية في الخارج؛ ولكن استنادًا للواقع وللصورة الذهنيّة التي شكّلها المجتمع عنه. لهذا تنطفيء الماركات المحلّية بأسرع مما تنطفيء الماركات العابرة للقارات، وربما كان الأمل الوحيد للمنتج المحلي في إعادة إنتاج هويّة تجاريّة أكثر قوة واستقرارًا؛

Harper's cynical fear-mongering and Islamophobic rantings to push through the oppressive Bill C-51 have not gone unchallenged. On March 14, tens of thousands of Canadians rallied in 70 cities across Canada to oppose the bill. It is a serious assault on Canadian civil liberties and will criminalize dissent. Here is Ken Stone's presentation at the Hamilton & District Labour Council held in the Council chambers of Hamilton City Hall.

You can run but you can't hide seems to be the message being delivered by one ousted president Ali Abdullah Saleh to another, Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi. The Saudis forced Saleh to resign in February 2012; the Houthis drove Hadi from power last month and put him under house arrest in Sana'a. Hadi fled to Aden making it his temporary capital but trouble seems to have followed him there as today's attack on Aden Airport showed.

As the Harper government pushes ahead with imposing the draconian Bill C-51 on Canadians that would grant even more powers to the Canadian Security and Intelligence Service (CSIS) without any proper oversight, Investigative reporter Andrew Mitrovica draws attention to the past misdeeds of the spy agency whose record is less than sterling.

By appealing to the deep-seated racism of the Zionists, Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud Party once again came out ahead with 30 seats in Israeli elections. He will now have to cobble together a coalition in the snake pit of Israeli politics. Netanyahu has vowed no Palestinian state, more illegal settlements and an even more belligerent policy. The choices for the Palestinians are now very clear.

An Egyptian court has handed down another batch of mass death sentences. The victims include leader of the Ikhwan al Muslimoon Mohamed Badie and 13 others. An additional 31 persons in prison will be sentenced on April 11. Egyptian courts have earned the dubious distinction of delivering farcical verdicts that have nothing to do with the law and everything to do with pleasing their masters in uniform.

The US has been forced to shut down its fortress-like consulates in several "Saudi" cities because of security threats. While the Saudi embassy in Riyadh did not specify the threat, it closed its consular services and warned Americans in the kingdom to "take extra precautions." In recent weeks, several westerners have been attacked or killed.

Has the US finally realized the futility of its policy in Syria? US Secretary of State John Kerry's latest statement seems to give the clearest indication that US policy of trying to topple the government of President Bashar al Asad has failed. Instead, takfiri monsters have emerged that go around beheading people, eating their organs and burning people alive. Even America's warlords seem to have had enough. Kerry wants to talk to Asad. Good!

Canadians from all walks of life denounced today Stephen Harper's fear mongering and Islamophobic bill that is being rushed through parliament. Rallies were held in Toronto and 70 other cities attended by tens of thousands of people. It was the strongest expression yet of the rejection of the politics of hate and fear mongering by the right wing Conservative party.
