Norwegian doctor, Dr Mads Gilbert has dedicated his life to serving the besieged and traumatized people of Gaza. He sends this heart-wrenching letter from Shifa Hospital in Gaza where he has been working virtually 24-hour shifts treating to the wounded, traumatized as well as those that could not be saved. He exposes the extreme brutality of the zionists. In the photo he kisses goodbye to a child that could not be saved.

(One of the Muslim countries with a tense political situation and an emerging Islamic identity which is not being covered by the corporate media is Azerbaijan Republic. In order to acquaint the Muslim Ummah with the situation in Azerbaijan, 5Pillarz conducted an interview with Maksud Djavadov, who is a researcher for the Toronto-based Institute of Contemporary Islamic Thought (ICIT) and a journalist for ICIT’s publication, Crescent International, specializing in covering the Muslim countries of the former USSR.)

We reproduce Khaled Meshaal's interview with Adnan Abu amer of Al-Monitor. Meshaal is head of Hamas Political Bureau and he explains Hamas' position vis-à-vis the current Israeli onslaught on Gaza and his organization's position about the ceasefire and the broader situation.​​​​​​​

Zionist Israel's brutal assault has exposed yet again the criminal nature of this illegitimate entity. People of conscience throughout the world have protested such brutalities. This year's Quds Day rallies held over the last weekend of Ramadan are expected to draw tens of thousands. Toronto has the honor of hosting massive rallies each year. This year's would be historic.

Canadian political parties have become cravenly pro-zionist. Even the so-called leftist NDP has come out in support of the zionists without any concern for the Palestinians suffering zionist crimes and barbarism.

The Israeli war criminal Benhamin Netanyahu, with backing from western rulers, has rejected calls for a ceasefire as his murderous attacks continue against defenceless Palestinian population in Gaza. Even centres for the disabled and mosques are not spared.

Thousands at Toronto rally slam Israeli crimes and the Harper regime's shameless support for them. Tiny Gaza has been under attack again since July 8. The zionists have murdered at least 125 Palestinians, most of them civilians, especially children.

The zionists cannot do anything wrong. Western rulers are there to defend them regardless of the level of brutality they indulge in. This is once again evident in the zionist onslaught on Gaza. Western rulers, reading from the same script, say Israel has the “right to defend itself.” Palestinian men, women and children do not matter.

The Zionists think they can kill Palestinians simply because they have a right to do so but Palestinians must neither complain nor defend themselves. The Zionists' latest assault on Gaza has resulted in 25 deaths and dozens injured in two days. The tiny Strip's bombardment continues and more casualties are expected.​​​​​​​

There is universal condemnation by Islamic scholars of the hijacking of an important Islamic concept as the Khilafah by a bunch of hoodlums. Al-Baghdadi's project is not likely to last long but in the process it will cause immense damage to the Ummah.​​​​​​​
