How the CIA Trained the Washington D.C. Shooter
The U.S. president used the attack to justify two of his favourite measures—deploying additional armed guards in Washington and tightening restrictions on immigrants. Yet very little public attention has been paid to the background of the shooter, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, who has been identified as someone trained by the CIA.
The Politics of Peace: Why María Corina Machado’s Nobel Raises Questions
According to Trump, Machado called to tell him that “he really deserves it” and that “she is accepting it in his honour.” On her X account, she confirmed she dedicates the award to Trump and the Venezuelan people. So, who exactly is María Corina Machado, the Venezuelan admirer of Donald Trump?
A Piece of Israel in Your Pocket? Reading Netanyahu’s Speech in Context
But let us pause. To understand a word or a claim correctly, we need to look at the text and the context. The short clip has circulated widely, but few have analysed it carefully within its full text and context.
Christian Zionism and the Politics of Biblical Misinterpretation
Ever wonder why Donald Trump, who wants to “get to heaven” through Ukraine, shows little concern for ending the bloodshed in Gaza? Or that Julia Sebutinde, the Ugandan judge at the International Court of Justice who voted against the genocide ruling, told her church congregation in Kampala last month: “The Lord is counting on me to stand on the side of Israel”?
International Media Alibi for Israel’s War on Truth
Above all, we must not mistake Western media access for justice or honesty. Their journalists may be glib and famous, but they are not—and will never be—superior to the courageous local reporters who have risked and given their lives to document Israel’s war crimes. If anything, they are complicit.
Palestine, Recognised—but on Whose Terms?
First France, then the UK, and now Canada…more Western countries are reportedly considering recognising the State of Palestine at the UN General Assembly this September.
The Epstein Dossier: What’s Known and Why It Matters
At first glance, the Epstein case might seem like an American scandal with little global relevance. However, in reality, it raises moral and political questions that extend far beyond U.S. borders. If Epstein was indeed running a blackmail ring, then it is plausible that individuals currently shaping global policy might have been compromised.
Russia Recognises the Taliban: Who Will Follow, and What’s at Stake?
Russia has become the first major power to officially recognise the Taliban government that took control of Afghanistan in 2021. Hailed as a “bold decision” by Kabul, Moscow’s move represents more than a mere diplomatic gesture: it signals a shift in the global stance towards the Taliban and sets the stage for a new web of alliances and rivalries in a region perpetually reshaped by security concerns and competing interests.
Can Lebanon Afford to Disarm Hezbollah?
Given this complex scenery, the prospect of disarming Hezbollah remains, for now, a deferred ambition. It is neither a challenge that can be met by brute force nor one that can be resolved through unilateral measures.
The Israel-Iran War: An Analysis
The future contours of the Middle East remain deeply uncertain. With Gaza still under siege, tensions with Iran liable to resurface, instability brewing in the Gulf, and potential threats to the Strait of Hormuz, the ingredients for wider conflict—and spikes in global energy prices—are all present.
Who is Zohran Mamdani, the New York Muslim Politician making Headlines?
It is gladdening to see more Americans challenging the Zionist grip on their politics by elevating an anti-Zionist candidate. One can wish Zohran well on his political journey. Still, it is vital to be cautious when such figures are presented as “Muslim candidates,” as though they aim to represent Islam itself, something they clearly do not.
What Does Israel’s Alleged Aid Poisoning Say About Its History?
Last Friday, Gaza’s government media office stated that some Palestinians had discovered prescription painkiller Oxycodone inside flour bags distributed through Israeli and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation points.
After Pope Francis: What a Right-Wing Papacy Could Mean for the World and Muslims
But then, what would it mean for the papacy to align itself with the global far right? It would not necessarily resemble a new crusade, at least not in the sense of the one evoked by Pope Urban II (d. 1099). Yet history teaches us that the theological indulgences of the papacy have been adaptable to the political language of the time.
Palestinians deserve action, not a show
Pictures of Palestinian children dying at the behest of these vultures should not just be a spectacle for magazines, social media, and the World Press Photo of Year judges. They should inspire stones against the vultures stalking these children, against those who put them in the world’s largest “open-air prison”, and give them the respite and justice they sorely need and deserve.
Oil, Arms, and Diplomacy: The Azerbaijan-Israel Relationship
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev made a statement that caught many by surprise. “With Turkey, we are allies, and Israel is a friendly state to Azerbaijan,” he declared. The comment stood in stark contrast to the global trend, where many nations have sought to distance themselves from Israel amid the Gaza genocide.
Gaza: How These 5 Firms are Complicit in the Genocide
However, it is essential to spotlight some of the companies whose products are woven into our daily lives. After all, Big Tech is complicit in Israel’s actions to a far greater extent than we often acknowledge.
Grasping the Immigration Crackdown Under the Trump Administration
According to Islamic ethics, the plight of refugees fleeing conflict, persecution or humanitarian crises is treated with compassion and mercy. However, Islam generally recognizes illegality as unethical and urges respect for local laws. If US policies, such as those of the Trump administration, call for the deportation of individuals without legal status, these actions may be in some ways compatible with Islamic principles.
What Will Joe Biden Be Remembered For?
Biden’s policy of trying to portray the image of a peace advocate on the one hand, while on the other hand supporting Israel’s military actions, will be remembered as one of the most contradictory periods of his career.
Gender Equality and Zionism: How the World Has Interpreted the Los Angeles Wildfire
One need not necessarily agree with either of these perspectives. Indeed, they may seem absurd to many. But the sociopolitical underpinnings fueling these interpretations are interesting. At the very least, valuable lessons can be drawn from them.
Why is Israel in Rift with UN Agencies?
The modern Zionist state may be seen as a contemporary reflection of its historical counterparts in Madinah, the Banu Qurayza and Banu Nadir. These were groups to whom the Prophet granted freedom and rights, yet they chose to betray him. Modern Zionist leaders have also acted against even their staunchest allies.
Lebanon: Exploding Pagers and the Death of Hassan Nasrallah
This war is, in fact, a conflict between all of humanity and Zionism. Therefore, the entire world—not just the Middle East—must be involved in this struggle. Human lives are being lost, human rights are being violated, and human dignity is being mocked by these Zionists.
Is a Proxy-War going on in the Sahel and West Africa?
These developments suggest the possible emergence of a proxy war in the Sahel region or perhaps a broader conflict across Africa. However, the roots of these events extend further back than recent headlines indicate.
The 2024 Hiroshima-Nagasaki Boycott: A Reckoning with Unrepentant Aggressors
European nations have often been quick to condemn human rights abuses in countries that are politically or economically isolated from the West, yet they frequently turn a blind eye to similar abuses committed by their allies.
Challenges Faced by the Dangote Refinery: The Role of IOCs in Nigeria's Refinery Sector
Noteworthy, it seems the objective of the IOCs is to make sure that local refineries such as Dangote refinery do not succeed and ensure that Nigeria remains a country that exports crude oil and imports refined gasoline products.
The Looming War on Lebanon
To avert the imminent collapse, the Zionist regime is attempting to trigger a full-scale regional war in the Middle East, which certainly could end in a nuclear catastrophe.
American Election and Its Reflection on the Islamic World
An alarm bell should be sounded in the entire Islamic world that there is no significant difference between the two presidential hopefuls and that every American regime is synonymous with the Zionist regime, even if Biden seems a better evil.
Is European Recognition of Palestine a Game-Changer?
A system as such undermines the principles of equality and self-determination, posing the question, "Why should we have a system where the freedom of one depends on the will of another?". The freedom and recognition of one entity should not depend on the will of another.
Canada’s Free Visas for Palestinians: Is the West a Safe Haven for Troubled Muslim Countries?
Canada only paused its arms sales to Israel in March 2024 and has yet to recognise Palestine as a country. This brings into question what host countries aim to gain from such policies, especially considering their roles in the geopolitical issues affecting the emigrating populations.
The Great Reset: A Globalist Plot of Power Grab or a Myth?
Since 2016, Klaus Schwab openly promoted the idea of “You will own nothing but be happy”, which he calls the 2030 WEF agenda to complete the restructuring of global capitalism.
