US- and Zionist-occupied Golan Heights

Occupation of other people’s land is illegal under every law and convention. This rule, however, does not seem to apply to the Zionists and imperialists as witnessed in the recent UN resolution about the illegality of Zionist occupation of the Syrian Golan Heights.

Muslim Unity is Not an Illusion — It is an Obligation

Abu Dharr

Instead of adopting and living up to the Qur’anic description of being a Muslim or a mumin, many have fallen into sectarian labels that exclude the ‘other’ from their self-designated identity.

Aasia… and the Prophet’s Covenant

Kevin Barrett

Zafar Bangash

Zionist Israel has once again been taught a lesson, this time in Ghazzah that preponderance of weapons does not always translate into military victory. The Palestinian resistance in Ghazzah has proved this causing political turmoil in the Israeli snake pit.

Iran Sanctions Dead on Arrival

Shahid Malik Qadri

While Muslims must express their love for the noble Messenger (pbuh) in all circumstances, there is a strange phenomenon at work in Pakistan.

The Saudis seem to have a strange fascination with the number 15. Take the brutal murder of Jamal  in the Kingdom’s consulate on October 2.

Letters To The Editor

White Helmets

Ahmed Halabi

These agents of imperialism inflicted a lot of damage on the people of Syria that would take a long time to rectify. Unfortunately many poor Muslims fell for this propaganda and continue to be misled to this day.

Letters To The Editor

There can never be peace in a world if it is dominated by a single superpower as was the case until recently.
