When people thought the zionists could not sink any lower, they proved them wrong. Israeli soldiers have indulged in rape and other beastly behavior against Palestinian prisoners. Far from condemning such barbarism, ministers and parliamentarians have applauded such conduct.

Elections in the US are little more than a circus. People are made to believe, through incessant propaganda, that they have a choice in who they choose as president or members of congress. It is all a money game and it matters not who occupies the White House. They all serve the moneyed class.

Most rulers live in fear of their people because they oppress them. Rulers venture out only under heavy security. The Saudi de facto ruler, Mohammad bin Salman says he fears for his life because of normalizing relations with the zionist entity. Simple solution: don’t normalize!

Every year Muslims celebrate the Mawlid (birthday) of the Prophet (pbuh) with great reverence and zeal. Next year, there will be a special occasion: the 1500th birth anniversary of the noble Messenger (pbuh). Will Muslims and their governments celebrate this event properly?

What had started as a goodwill gesture to help the needy and poor in society during Uthman’s rule, turned into exploitation by the rich and powerful. It resulted in serious consequences for the Ummah.

The noble messenger (pbuh) was sent not merely to teach rituals but to transform the society by instilling the understanding that power and authority belong only to Allah. From this follows that only Allah’s laws must be implemented in society. Muslims need to pay close attention to this aspect as they hold Mawlid celebrations this year.

American officials and media talking heads never tire of telling the world that America is the “most powerful democracy” in the world. The reality is that it is held hostage by the moneyed class through lobby groups of which the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC is the most notorious.

Bangladeshi students have achieved remarkable success by driving the dragon lady, Sheikh Hasina from power. She fled to India, her real master, but Bangladesh faces an uncertain future unless the students remain vigilant and prevent their movement from being hijacked by vested interests.

With rising tensions in West Asia, fueled by the zionist terrorists in illegal occupation of Palestine, there is vigorous debate in Tehran about whether the Islamic Republic should revise its doctrine of eschewing nuclear weapons.

Through their control of all state institutions, the thugs in uniform are driving Pakistan into the ground. The economy is on life support; there is political instability and deep social divisions. Poverty stalks the land but the generals and their hangers-on continue as if nothing is remiss.

Treacherous Arab tribal chiefs and reactionary Turkish nationalist, Mustafa Kamal drove the nationalist dagger deep into the heart of the Ummah-concept. The Islamic revolution in Iran gave hope to the Muslims but the sectarian clergy class is undermining Islamic revival.

Racist riots in Britain targeting especially Muslims are symptomatic of a much deeper malaise afflicting western societies. Many western commentators have realized this but the apathy of the masses prevents meaningful change.
