Zafar Bangash

Rabi' al-Thani 19, 14342013-03-01

Zafar Bangash

Rabi' al-Thani 19, 14342013-03-01

Zafar Bangash

Rabi' al-Awwal 20, 14342013-02-01

Obama has always been long on rhetoric and short on substance. But he has another opportunity to prove he can deliver the change he has so often touted. His real test will be whether he is willing to deal on the basis of mutual respect with Islamic Iran.

Zafar Bangash

Muharram 17, 14342012-12-01

US duplicity on Afghan withdrawal

Zafar Bangash

Muharram 17, 14342012-12-01

The US has no intention of leaving Afghanistan even if President Barack Obama loudly proclaims that all combat troops will be out of Afghanistan by the end of 2014. American officials are negotiating with the Afghans to keep US troops in the country permanently.

Controlled US presidential elections

Zafar Bangash

Dhu al-Hijjah 16, 14332012-11-01

Presidential elections in the US are a hugely expensive farce. It matters not who occupies the White House since every candidate is a slave of corporate elites and the Zionists, the true masters of America.

Iraq war’s poisoned legacy

Zafar Bangash

Dhu al-Hijjah 16, 14332012-11-01

Is freedom of speech absolute?

Zafar Bangash

Dhu al-Qa'dah 14, 14332012-10-01

While the west claims free speech is absolute, there is prohibition on anti-Semitism. There is also systemic targeting of Muslims in the US on mere “suspicion” that they might be “thinking” to harm Americans. Why the double standard?

Annual ritual at the UN II

Zafar Bangash

Dhu al-Qa'dah 14, 14332012-10-01

The UN has become virtually irrelevant to the affairs of the world since it is in the grip of western powers that refuse to allow justice or fairness to prevail.

If Israel blunders into attacking Iran

Zafar Bangash

Shawwal 14, 14332012-09-01

Will Israel make the mistake of attacking Iran? Should it become victim of its own hubris, the consequences would be devastating for the Zionist war-criminals.

The other consequence of Syrian crisis: refugees

Zafar Bangash

Shawwal 14, 14332012-09-01

Innocent people are always the victims of wars over which they have no control and towards which they did not contribute. The plight of Syrian refugees once again highlights this reality.

Zafar Bangash

Ramadan 12, 14332012-08-01

Naked power grab by Egyptian generals I

Zafar Bangash

Zafar Bangash
