The Takfiris, whether in Iraq or Syria, are determined to kill as many innocent people as possible. Their murderous spree took more than 700 innocent lives in February. March is unlikely to be any better.

To the uninitiated it may sound strange but Obama and the zionists are actively supporting the neo-Nazis in Ukraine and leading fascist groups after ousting the elected President Viktor Yanukovych. Tensions have also escalated between the US and Russia.
Twenty years may have elapsed since Baruch Goldstein, the zionist mass murderer with help from the Israeli occupation army slaughtered 29 worshippers at the Ibrahimi Mosque and injured 100 others.

It will be interesting to see how this latest round of "revelations" play out.

The uppity Bandar bin Sultan has been given the boot as Saudi spy chief.

The Western-inspired unrest in Ukraine can only go so far. Russia will not allow its interests to be undermined in such a brazen manner by the US. Without European Union support, that has no stomach for a fight on its borders, the US will not achieve its objectives.
Bilawal Zardari is a spoiled brat. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, spent most of his time in the nightclubs of London but now he wants to lead the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. He made his debut by condemning the Taliban and called the Islamic Sharia a throwback to the Stone Ages.

Money and self-interest always trump human rights. The Harper regime has just announced a $10 billion sale of military equipment to one of the most notorious regimes in the Middle East--Saudi Arabia.

If Erdogan can stand his ground, this will be a great morale booster for the people of Gaza as well as millions of their supporters.
Slaughtering people like animals and chewing organs of dead opponents are signature marks of the takfiris operating in Syria. Now they have added another macabre ritual: strangulation of girls. A recent video shows this in stunningly graphic form. What kind of beasts are these?
