Mad men dream in technicolor. Netanyahu, the indicted war criminal who also faces criminal charges at home, sees his chances of political survival by selling grandiose plans to Israelis. Will he succeed?

The responsibility of the zionist war criminals in the starvation and genocide of the people of Gaza is well known. The Arabian rulers are equally complicit in facilitating the starvation of Palestinian babies, women and the elderly. They must be held accountable.

Will Muslims again celebrate the Prophet’s birthday in the traditional way by singing nasheeds and praising his virtues or they will look at his life’s struggle in the broader context? On his 1500th birth anniversary, Muslims must make the effort to develop a comprehensive understanding of his blessed life.

The first two Khulafah—Abu Bakr and Umar—gave Makkans the opportunity to break from their jahili past and join the egalitarian principles of Islam. Unfortunately, Mu‘awiyah exploited this during Uthman’s rule with disastrous consequences for the Ummah.

While the zionists failed to defeat Hamas, Hizbullah, Islamic Iran and Ansarallah through military means, the Americans want the Resistance front to disarm through political/diplomatic pressure. The Resistance Front refuses to comply. Who can blame them?

Turkiye and Azerbaijan, in conjunction with the zionist entity, are playing a very dangerous role in trying to undermine Islamic Iran. While they will not benefit from it, the ummah will pay a heavy price for such treachery.

Zionist ideology is the product of European colonialism. It was imposed on Palestine by implanting the zionist monstrosity that has slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. Now it wants to expand further. It must not be allowed to succeed.

It is sad to note how many Muslims were taken in by the propaganda that the takfiris are “revolutionaries” fighting against the Asad regime and then proceed to liberate Palestine. Now they are collaboratingwith the zionists and the imperialists against the Islamic resistance.

The Jeffrey Epstein scandals surround Donald Trump like a bad odour. The more Trump attempts to distance himself from them, the greater the stench intensifies. The Israeli spy agency Mossad is deeply involved and blackmails American politicians into submission.

The Bani Sa‘ud have turned Hajj into a money-making racket. This is contrary to Allah’s teachings in the noble Qur’an. Why do Muslims allow such deviations from divine commands? Saudi agents are also involved in the gouging of innocent Muslims.

US-Pakistan relations have never been stable. The US prefers to deal with Pakistani generals thinking they can deliver what Washington demands. The current Pakistan army chief has fallen to new lows in sucking up to Donald Trump, in hopes of continuing to remain in power.

Countries affected by US sanctions must collectively build institutions to neutralize the delitrious effects of sanctions and other coercive tactics deployed by Washington. It requires political will, not slogans. BRICS could be a suitable platform for such an undertaking.

Western hypocrisy manifests itself in many different ways, from political chicanery to theater. The latest example is provided by Holywood actor and director Woody Allen. He condemns Russia’s attack on Ukraine but remains completely mute over Israeli crimes in Gaza.
