The war criminals Trump and Netanyahu’s failure in their illegal war on Iran has led the evil duo to desperation. It cannot be ruled out that they may stage another 911-type false flag operation and blame it on Iran to get the Americans’ support for continuation of the war.
The Turkiye-Saudi-Pakistan defence pact announced last month is viewed by observers differently. For some it is an alliance against zionist Israel (unlikely), for others, its target is the Yemeni Ansarallah and Islamic Iran (mor plausible). So far, there has been little action.
The takfiri rulers of Syria were supported, financed and nurtured by the US, Israel and Turkiye and brought to power in December 2024. Since then, they have done everything to show their subservience to the US and Israel and act against the interests of Muslims.
Pakistanis are a strange breed. Outwardly, they show adherence to the rituals of Islam but their conduct is anything but. Hypocrisy, fraud and crookedness are embedded in their genes. It starts from the top and flows all the way to the bottom. Such people can never make progress.
The much-maligned Taliban have managed the affairs of Afghanistan quite well despite extreme external pressure, especially from the US (refusing to pay its $10 billion reserves) and Pakistan that has closed its border with the landlocked country. The Taliban have found new outlets.
Children are the most vulnerable segment of society. During war, they suffer the most. Two case studies are examined—Iraq and Palestine—although in other locales their plight is equally grim. The aggressors take sadistic pleasure in killing children. Palestinian children are especially targeted.
The Bedouin rulers of UAE are extremely hostile to any expression of Islam as a political system. The Ikhwan (Muslim Brotherhood) are their special target. They have now extended their hostile campaign to Europe alleging that the Brotherhood plan to take it over.
In this continuous series of articles, Mohamed Ousman places authority in the context of obedience to Allah and His Prophet. No human being can operate outside this framework and claim legitimacy.
In this concluding article of the 8-part series, bay‘ah, governance, and the Islamic Movement are compared with liberal democratic legitimacy theory. There are fundamental differences between the two.
While the Arabian rulers in West Asia are incapable of defending themselves, their reliance on the US and zionist Israel has also proved illusionary. Three countries—Islamic Iran, Pakistan and Turkiye—and potentially Egypt can create stability in the region.
The death of the former Emir of Qatar, Hamad bin Khalifa al Thani would be a non-event except that he launched his tiny sheikhdom on the path of total subservience to the US and zionist Israel. Qatar continues to punch way above its weight and could result in serious negative consequences.
August coincides with several anniversaries in Pakistan’s tortuous history. From its fraudulent independence in 1947, to India’s abrogation of Kashmir’s autonomous status to Pakistan’s thuggish generals arresting the country’s most popular leader, Imran Khan. It is a sorry record.
Why does every Pakistan wish to flee the country? The criminals and thieves that rule the country are suffocating the people. Life has become extremely precarious for an average person. Fleeing the country seems to be the only option for survival. Pity the country.
A prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz will bring down the US colossus. Disruption in energy supplies will have a global impact that western economies are incapable of addressing.
Long before the Strait of Hormuz became a contested waterway and America’s illegal intrusion, the narrow waterway was coveted by empires. It is important to know its history and why it matters.
Attacks on oil tankers and vessels in the Strait of Hormuz can be traced to the “tanker war” between 1981-1988. The western-Arabian-Communist-backed Iraqi-imposed war on Islamic Iran was in full swing. The US wanted to cripple Iran’s economy by attacking its oil tankers.
Islamic Iran has the longest coastline along the Strait of Hormuz. The US lies thousands of miles away yet it wants to control it. Under what law do the American warlords make such a claim, apart from gangsterism and sheer greed? They will not succeed; they must not succeed.
Zionist Israel continues its policy of genocide and starvation of Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip. These crimes are compunded by the zionists’ sexual abuse of Palestinian prisoners held in their dungeons.
Article 1 of the Memorandum of Understanding signed by the US and Iran stipulates that a ceasefire will go into effect on all fronts, including Lebanon. The zionist war criminals continue to violate this provision with impunity. The US appears unwilling or unable to stop the zionists.
Zionist insistence on maintaining control of parts of South Lebanon as a “security zone” is a trap that will create perpetual insecuirty for them. Further, the occupation legitimizes Hizbullah existence as a resistance force defending Lebanon’s independence.
