Police brutality

Askia Wejd

Muharram 19, 14372015-11-01

Police forces in every country have a very bad reputation, deservedly so. In the US, however, they are extra brutal. This has to do with America’s culture of guns and violence. Not surprisingly, the US leads in crime as well as the number of people in prison.

Killing humans to save cows!

Saudi genocide in Yemen

Zainab Hassan

Dhu al-Qa'dah 17, 14362015-09-01

When is genocide not called genocide? When the perpetrators are Americans, Israeli Zionists, and now, the Najdi Bedouins in illegal occupation of the Arabian Peninsula. The Najdi Bed-ouins’ (aka “Saudis”) attack on the residential neighborhood of Salah district in Yemen’s Ta’iz province killed 65 people on August 23. Those murdered in the latest “Saudi” onslaught were all civilians, mainly women and children.

Speaking for the voiceless

Mohammed H. Siddiq

Dhu al-Qa'dah 17, 14362015-09-01

In “Saudi” Arabia, as soon as a dissident makes himself known, he disappears, never to be seen again.

Erdogan’s unending follies

Ahmet Selahettin

Dhu al-Qa'dah 17, 14362015-09-01

Turkish President Recep Tayip Erdogan has disappointed many sincere Muslims. He emerged in Turkey under difficult circumstances and Muslims, especially members of the Islamic movement, had reposed high hopes in him but his policies vis-à-vis Iraq, Libya, and Syria have astonished and disappointed many. How could a leader who fought so tenaciously against the Turkish “deep state” — no mean feat — sud-denly fall to the level of an ordinary politician willing to sell his soul to the devil?

Libya disaster

Salamat Ali Khan

Dhu al-Qa'dah 17, 14362015-09-01

Who is responsible for the mayhem in Libya and why is there little or no attention paid to the plight of the Libyan people in the media? The country no longer exists as a unitary state; there are fiefdoms created by warlords who are rampaging through parts of the country.

Of terrorists

Ahmed Abdul Rahman

Dhu al-Qa'dah 17, 14362015-09-01

There are a lot of terrorists ravaging the Muslim world. Names like ISIS/ISIL (or Da‘ish) are well known. Previously we had al-Qaeda. There are others. Beyond the Levant, we have al-Shabab in Somalia and Boko Haram in Nigeria.

Shocking facts about DU

Name withheld upon request

Shawwal 15, 14362015-08-01

I was shocked to read details about the effect of depleted uranium (DU) on people, especially children, in Iraq (Crescent International, July 2015). The increase in cancer rates in Iraq from 40 per 100,000 in 1991 to at least 1,600 per 100,000 in 2005 is truly alarming. “This is an increase of 4,000% over a 25-year period,” as your report points out. Not surprisingly, there is seldom any mention of these facts in the Western corporate media.

Exposing the cabal of neo-Ahzab

Jamaluddin Alvi

Shawwal 15, 14362015-08-01

Thank you for alerting the Ummah to the emergence of the neo-Ahzab. Many Mus-lims are confused about the true nature of Bani Saud. They confuse the sacredness of Makkah and Madinah with the rulers and think that just as they must show complete respect for the two holy cities that have been declared as Harams (sacred), this respect must be extended to the rulers as well.

The killing fields of Yemen

Mariam al-Audha

Shawwal 15, 14362015-08-01

The number of Yemeni civilians killed in Saudi bombing raids is very high. Innocent people are being killed while most countries in the world remain silent.

Quds Day rally

Shaukat Mahmood

Shawwal 15, 14362015-08-01

It was my first year attending the Quds Day rally in Toronto. Despite the hot weather and Ramadan, the participants’ enthusiasm was very high.

Doomed House!

Ahmed P Randall

Shawwal 15, 14362015-08-01

I recently got a copy of the book, Doomed Kingdom of the House of Saud by Brother Zafar Bangash.

Mursi’s death sentence condemned

Ayman Abdul Bari

Ramadan 14, 14362015-07-01

The Egyptian military regime and its kangaroo courts have sentenced scores of people to death, including the first-ever elected president in Egypt’s history, Mohamed Mursi. It has evoked strong global condemnation.

Bashir Ahmed

Ramadan 14, 14362015-07-01
