How free is the West’s “free” media?

Zafar Bangash

Rajab 18, 14312010-07-01

The same right, however, does not extend to those criticizing the crimes perpetrated by the Zionist State. Any criticism of Israel is immediately denounced as anti-semitism

Total failure of the Pakistani elites

Zafar Bangash

Rajab 18, 14312010-07-01

The issue, however, is not merely about death; everyone will die one day. It has to do with the sense of hopelessness that has sapped the people’s will to live, leading them to despair and suicide.

The new, emerging global order

Zafar Bangash

Jumada' al-Akhirah 18, 14312010-06-01

Nature abhors a vacuum, especially a political vacuum. New players emerge to fill it in. The global order established by the victors of the Second World War is not only crumbling, it is almost dead; only its last rites need to be performed...

Editor

Jumada' al-Akhirah 18, 14312010-06-01

Allah (swt) says in the Qur’an, “[Since they have become oblivious of their Lord], disintegration has appeared on land and in the sea as an outcome of what men’s hands have wrought; and so He will let them taste [the end result of] some of their doings...

Opposition to the G8/20 summits

Editor

Jumada' al-Akhirah 18, 14312010-06-01

For three days (June 25–27), Toronto was turned into an armed camp. An estimated 15,000 police and other forces were mobilized to provide security for leaders of G20 countries to talk about the world’s economic problems...

Tehran nuclear deal: Iran–2, US–0

Editor

Jumada' al-Ula' 16, 14312010-05-01

How to remain relevant is a dilemma that confronts all Western women in old age. This is particularly acute for Hillary Clinton whose husband is a well-known philanderer and who was rebuffed by the Democratic Party for the presidential nomination

Role of international institutions

Zafar Bangash

Jumada' al-Ula' 16, 14312010-05-01

There is a plethora of institutions masquerading as global do-gooders. Some of them might even be doing some good work but that is incidental to the overall objectives for which they were created.

Westerners’ obsession with niqab

Editor

Rabi' al-Thani 16, 14312010-04-01

Politicians in the West love to play wedge politics. Picking on the weakest members of society is their favourite ploy but the recent hysteria about niqab — the full facial and body covering, except an opening for the eyes, worn by some Muslim women — is quite out of proportion with what is perceived as a “threat” to Western freedoms and liberties...

Zionist Israel: the root cause of Middle East conflict

Editor

Rabi' al-Thani 16, 14312010-04-01

The Vatican’s child-molesting priests

Editor

Rabi' al-Thani 16, 14312010-04-01

Among the many skeletons in the Vatican’s vast closet, the one that keeps rattling most frequently is that of child-molesting priests. The most recent revelations involve one Rev. Marcial Maciel Dagellado, the charismatic founder of the Legionaries of Christ, a close ally of the late Pope John Paul II...

Zionist, Arabian rulers aligned against Islamic Iran

Editor

Rabi' al-Thani 16, 14312010-04-01

To understand the Arabian regimes’ open alliance with Israel, and open hostility to the Islamic State of Iran, one must consider their origins...

Anniversaries a grim reminder of Ummah’s plight

Editor

Rabi' al-Awwal 15, 14312010-03-01

Several anniversaries fall in the month of March, both local and international but it is difficult to say anything positive about them. Let us review them. In March 1924, Mustafa Kemal abolished the khilafah, breaking the last organic link with the Islamic State established by the noble Messenger of Allah (s) in Madinah nearly 1,400 years ago.

Worried about Egypt’s old Pharaoh

Editor

Rabi' al-Awwal 15, 14312010-03-01

There is much concern in Western capitals about what would happen in Egypt when the aging Pharaoh, Husni Mubarak dies. He is in his mid-eighties and not in good health. He has ruled Egypt with an iron fist since he became president in October 1981 after his predecessor, Anwar Sadat, was executed by his own soldiers during a military parade. Mubarak has ruled Egypt through a state of emergency that is renewed every six months.

Obama’s report card after one year

Abu Dharr

Muharram 15, 14312010-01-01

Abu Dharr

Dhu al-Hijjah 14, 14302009-12-01

At a time when the world’s attention is focused on the horrible crimes the Zionists perpetrated in Gaza exactly a year ago and continue to do so against hapless Palestinians today, the Zionists are busy demonizing Iran...

Impediments in the path of Muslim unity

Editor

Dhu al-Hijjah 14, 14302009-12-01

Two laments are common among Muslims: lack of unity and negative projection of Muslims in the Western media. Most Muslims believe cooperation between Muslim rulers and governments constitutes unity...

Intensification of war on Muslims in the US

Editor

Dhu al-Hijjah 14, 14302009-12-01

The US has intensified its war on Muslim citizens. This was clearly expected because its wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are not going well. In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, one could understand that US policy would be driven by fear...

Torture as US state policy

Editor

Ramadan 11, 14302009-09-01

Since the election of Barack Obama as President, US rhetoric about war on terror has been toned down but the policies instituted by his discredited predecessor continue...

Rabbis involved in organ sales

Editor

Ramadan 11, 14302009-09-01

At the end of July when 10 people, among them several rabbis, were arrested in New Jersey, USA, it was assumed that this was little more than a case of tax fraud by another charity.
