Imam Husayn (ra) sacrificed his life and that of his family for a very important principle: to save Islam from corrupt rulers. Regrettably, like Imam Husayn, today’s Husayns also stand alone in the world.
In one of the most bizarre statements to come out of the court clerics of Saudi Arabia, Abdul Rahman al-Sudais said American and Saudi rulers were the pillars of stability and peace in the world. What planet does Sudais live on?
First Nations people in Canada, as indeed in the US and Australia have been subjected to genocide by the European colonialists that first set foot on the continent. Today First Nations people are found on reservations living in appalling conditions.
There is growing realization among officials of the colonial settler entity, Zionist Israel, that Hizbullah is a formidable force and taking it on militarily would be suicidal.

Both as a result of its defensive capabilities in the Zionist-imposed war of July 2006 and more recently following its battlefield experiences in Syria, Hizbullah has become a formidable force in the Muslim East. Zionist Israel knows this and is worried.
The alt-right, while seeded by many unsavory characters, is not a monolith. It consists of hardcore Islamophobes as well as anti-Zionists. Most Islamophobes are Zionists and Israel-firsters
Contrary to its self-projected image of a “nonviolent” country, India under Narendra Modi is a textbook example of a terrorist state. No religious minority is safe in India. Muslims top the list of those targeted by Hindu fascists.
