Muhammad bin Salman is clumsier than Inspector Clouseau of Pink Panther fame but the former is far more deadly since he controls virtually everything in the medieval kingdom.
If Donald Trump is smart—a big if—he should do in Afghanistan what Richard Nixon did in Vietnam: declare victory and get the hell out. Staying put, as the Washington warlords are demanding, would merely prolong America’s misery.
America is in the midst of a civil war. The Reds and the Blues that fought in 1861 never disappeared. They are very much alive and there is every likelihood that the US might disintegrate in the new bust-up.
That the US was forced to choose drab Warsaw in the middle of winter to hold an anti-Iran hate fest that few major European powers attended merely exposed US isolation.
The Western media and politicians hype China’s economic progress because they want to use it to show that China’s economic progress only became possible when it adopted Western capitalism.
Despite the end of communism, the Central Asian republics are still controlled by family-based oligarchtes that continue to rule with an iron-fist. Dissent is ruthlessly suppressed.
Russia’s experience in Chechnya showed that it would have to change its approach to controlling these republics not through the old Soviet methods but by giving them a measure of autonomy so long as certain red lines are not crossed.
Notwithstanding its pretentious claims to being the “sole superpower”, the US is in terminal decline politically, economically and socially. It can no longer orders others to follow its commands.
Almost every policy that the neocons could think of has failed. In their desperation, they attacked a courageous but defenseless Press TV anchor, Marzieh Hashemi but even this has backfired on them.
Despite a much-touted ceasefire in Hodaydah that was negotiated in Sweden, the Saudi war-mongers and aggressor and their co-conspirators are doing everything to undermine it.
The Zionists use different ruses to hoodwink gullible Muslims into embracing their narrative. Thanks to the efforts of one alert Muslim journalist Salih Muhammad Roshan of 5pillarsuk.com, such sneaky attempts have been thwarted causing great angst to the Zionists.
Islamophobia is a vast and profitable industry. Some use openly foul and racist language (the Hindu Ron Banerjee) while others peddle their Islamophobia camouflaged in academic garb. The arch-Zionist Daniel Pipes falls into the latter category.
Some people including some Yemenis have been so brainwashed about the situation in Yemen, especially relating to Iran’s role in it, that they refuse to see what the Saudi criminals are doing to their society. For them, only Iran is to blame!
The Bani Saud have a long sordid history of meddling in Yemeni affairs, the latest assault launched nearly four years ago being only one manifestation of it.
Ron Banerjee, the Islamophobic Hindu was forced to publicly apologize to the owner of Paramount Fine Foods when the latter took him to court. More Muslims need to follow the example of Muhamed Fakih and take legal action against the Islamophobes.
No informed Muslim would say that most rulers in the Muslim world follow the injunctions of Islam yet paid preachers offer them respectability by urging Muslims not to rebel lest it leads to greater fitna. It is a shame.
The Khashoggi affair has exposed the Bani Saud in a manner that none of their other misdemeanors had done before. Turkish President Erdogan has skillfully utilized the ghastly crime to expose their true nature.
Who would have imagined that after waging a 10-year war in Afghanistan, the Russians would be back as mediators and peacemakers in the now US-occupied country.
Those baying for a poor Pakistani Christian woman’s blood accusing her of blasphemy seem to have totally ignored the noble Messenger’s (pbuh) own conduct in such cases.
There are various groups in Pakistan that try to use the blasphemy law in the country to advance their own political agenda disregarding the noble Messenger’s (pbuh) quality as a ‘mercy to all the worlds’.
