The people of Scotland voted by 55% to 47% to stay in Britain but their referendum has shaken the usually smug politicians in London to take note. British Prime Minister David Cameron whose job was on the line, promised after the result, to allow more powers to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
In his Edward Sa'id Memorial lecture in Adelaide, Australia on September 11, John Pilger exposes the corporate media's complicity in Israeli crimes and how the world is being pushed into a World War.
The Obama regime wanted James Foley dead rather than alive. James Foley's younger brother Michael told Fox News that he was threatened by the US State Department not to raise ransom money to rescue his brother from the clutches of the takfiris. His mother said it did not fit into US strategic policy [to have her son come out alive].
Is there any such thing as a 'moderate rebel'? If the US plans to fight the takfiris, why is it training these so-called moderate rebels to overthrow the government of Bashar al-Asad? One does not have to admire Asad but he is legitimately elected by the Syrian people. What right does the US, Saudi Arabia or Israel have to decide who should be in power in Damascus?
When the west says peace, it means war. Consider the drumbeating in Washington that has just got louder as Barack Obama prepares to make an important announcement about extending the bombing campaign into Syria from Iraq. The pretext for this latest belligerence is the group of takfiris rampaging through the region. They are a creation of the US, Israel and Saudi Arabia but a handy tool to advance western war agenda.
The Islamophobe Cheryl Benard (pictured) and her Afghan-born Americanized husband Zalmay Khalilzad, member of the neo-con cabal, have had their Austrian bank account frozen. There are suspicions of money laundering. Will the notorious couple face jail time?
The mercenaries' gift to the Syrian people: the pulverized city of Homs. Most parts of Syria have been left in ruins, thanks to financial and material support by the US, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Qatar, among others, to the foreign mercenaries in Syria.
Are the takfiris really that great fighters or they are being projected for a sinister western agenda?
The harassment and attacks on Imam Abdul Alim Musa have intensified. In the latest episode, he was arrested in the middle of the night when some 12 police officers swarmed Masjid al-Islam in Oakland, California and locked him up for 15 hours. The allegation was that he was “trespassing” the property that is registered in his name. It is not a simple case of police action; there is much more going on behind the scenes.
Under the primitive Saudi clan, nothing is safe as far as Islam's holy sites are concerned. A new report has emerged that recommends destroying the Green Dome over the Prophet's (saws) tomb and relocating his body to Baqi Cemetery to be interred in an unmarked grave. Muslims worldwide should take note and act before this sacrilegious act is perpetrated by the sworn enemies of Allah, His Prophet (saws) and Islam.
In a terse statement that must have deeply disappointed the beleaguered Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, the army expressed its “concern” about the escalating political violence. It also said force was not the way to deal with the situation. The crisis must be dealt with through political means. Sharif is under pressure to resign; how much longer can he hold out in these circumstances?
Nawaz Sharif, Pakistani Prime Minister-under-siege, has been forced to beg the army chief, General Raheel Sharif (no relation) to rescue him. Pakistan Tehrik-e Insaf led by Imran Khan and Pakistan Awami Tehrik led by Tahirul Qadri are both demanding his resignation, Imran more forcefully than Qadri. The next 24 hours may prove crucial for Pakistan.
Excerpt from the forthcoming book, Islamic Resistance to Imperialism by Eric Walberg.
The Islamic resistance has dealt a stunning blow to Zionist Israel in Gaza. Despite lacking weapons and bottled up in the tiny enclave, the Islamic resistance forced the zionists to accept their terms for a truce. Most Palestinian demands have been accepted reflecting the zionists' defeat in the brutal war in which they murdered nearly 2200 innocent Palestinian civilians.
The zionist regime continues to perpetrate crimes against humanity as well as other countries. In its latest attempt to send a spy plane over Iran's Natanz nuclear facilities in Isfahan, the IRGC shot down the so-called radar-evading spy plane. Iran's scientists are examining the remnants of the plane some of which have been retrieved intact.
In a long list of war crimes, the zionist regime perpetrated another one by firing two missiles from US-supplied warplanes on a 12-storey apartment building in Gaza. There were 44 apartments in the block that came crashing down. Massive damage was caused to neighboring buildings as well.
Armed agent provocateurs attack Masjid al-Islam in California and violently assault Imam Abdul Alim Musa. Muslims worldwide need to contact him and offer immediate support.
Davutoglu to Erdogan: Are you sure I can be prime minister? Will I get to move into your office?
Even while holding indirect talks in Cairo with the Palestinians to agree on a long-term cease-fire, the zionists launched murderous attacks on the Gaza Strip today. Their duplicity and criminality know no bounds.
Police in America shoot and kill black men, especially teens, first and worry about their guilt later. Even in death, their character assassination continues as the case of 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO shows. The unarmed teen was shot six times execution-style even after he had raised his hands in surrender. Life for black teens is extremely precarious in the US even if one of them makes it to the White House!
