Muawiyah is a controversial figure in Muslim history. Some Muslims elevate him to the rank of a Sahabi (companion of the Prophet (ﷺ)) while others view him as a murderer because he killed many Sahaba. What do traditional Muslim history books say about him?
The US-Israel war on had set out to achieve three objectives: destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities completely, degrade its missile and air defence systems rendering it defenceless, and pave the way for regime change. The evil duo failed in all three.
Donald Trump’s narcissism and the needy to remain in the limelight is pushing him to adopt policies that are likely to lead to an implosion in the US. Already a deeply polarized society, Trump is merely deepening America’s fault lines.
Terrorist-turned-president of Syria, Mohammad al-Jolani has exposed himself in less than six month as a US-zionist agent. Those Muslims shouting hoarse against Bashar al-Asad’s regime have a lot of explaining to do. How do they justify Jolani’s subservience to the US and Israel?
Islamic Iran has successfully beaten back the criminal attack led by the trio, the US, Israel and EU. It must now improve areas of weakness that led to the loss of so many senior commanders and nuclear scientists. Reducing digital exposure is of primary importance.
Pakistan’s de facto ruler, General Asim Munir, self-appointed Field Marshal, debased himself before Donald Trump for a morsel of mutton. Trump used him to lull Islamic Iran into believing that the US would not attack for another two weeks. Pakistan will pay a heavy price for such treachery.
Pakistan resembles George Orwell’s 1984 and Animal Farm rolled into one. Big Brother is watching from every street corner while pigs rule the farm. They can have their snouts in the trough as long as they accept Big Brother’s domineering role. Pity the masses.
Afghanistan’s mineral resources, particular its trillion dollar untapped lithium reserves, are driving the new gold rush. Three major powers—China, Russia and the US—are scrambling to get a piece of the pie. Officials from the three countries have made beeline to Kabul to court the Taliban.
The zionists’ ongoing genocide in Gaza is meant to make life so miserable for the Palestinians that they would be forced to leave. The Palestinians refuse to leave despite the death and destruction inflicted upon them.
In three days, Donald Trump plundered more wealth—$4 trillion—from the Arabian dinosaurs than any previous US president had managed in three years. The illegitimate rulers gave their wealth away to buy American protection.
Optics, not diplomacy determines relations between Trump and the Gulf rulers. Glitzy steel and glass towers, the higher the more “prestigious”, are what gives them pleasure. Forget about investment in domestic human capital, learning or scientific culture.
Donald Trump’s transactional approach to diplomacy marks a clear departure from previous US foreign policy approaches. There was not even lip-serivce to democratic values and human rights that characterized previous US encounters with dictatorial regimes. It was all about money.
That the American deep state is unhappy with Trump is not in doubt. His crude methods are exposing their dirty works that used to be done with a smile. Trump is bulldozing his way and there is speculation that the establishment might bump him off.
The dystopian system in Pakistan is best illustrated by its recent contrived spat with India. Whatever it achieved was the result of Pakistan’s airforce pilots yet credit was hogged by the army chief general Asim Munir, elevating himself to the rank of ‘field marshal’.
The mercenary nature of Muslim soldiers in the British Indian army is exposed brilliantly by the late Colonel Ghaffar Mehdi in this article written in 1972. The mercenary nature continues to this day, and shamelessly proclaimed as if it is some kind of an honour.
In their second eruption, almost 100 years after their first unsuccessful attempt at grabbing power in the Arabian Peninsula, the Bani Saud became British agents to undermine the Turks and grabbed power. Today they serve zio-imperialist interests and do so with pride.
What direction the indirect talks between Iran and the US would take is difficult to predict. In the latest round on April 26, the US demanded Iran should dismantle its entire nuclear program and import its uranium requirement from abroad. Iran has rejected this and may sabotage the talks.
Turkish president Recep Tayip Erdogan is no democrat. When he perceives a challenger to his continued grip on power, he resorts to undemocratic means as is evident in his mistreatment of opposition presidential candidate Ekrem Imamoglu who has been imprisoned on trumped-up charges.
Pakistan’s generals are not professional soldiers. They are real estate tycoons and have now got their grubby hands on the country’s agriculture as well as mineral wealth. Living in palatial homes, they have impoverished Pakistan inflicting immense suffering on the people.
While most Muslims have wisened up to the criminal nature of the Banu Saud who have betrayed the Palestinians siding with the zionist war criminals, there are still some Muslims who harbour illusions about their real role. We expose their origin and role.
