Clerics in Saudi Arabia and UAE have declared the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist and Islamically deviant group. Of course they have done this at the behest of rulers or monarchs. In the year 2020, Muslims scholars are still discussing the rights of rulers and families to rule forever, and for the masses to obey them....
In 1981 Israel bombed Iraq’s nuclear energy facilities. Later after the first Gulf War, Iraq agreed to UN inspections of its embryonic nuclear facilitates. During the second Gulf War the UN inspectors played a dual game, not saying outright that Iraq had no “weapons of mass destruction” but not ruling them out. Giving the West...
The killing of a nuclear scientist in Iran, an innocent civilian, is an act of terrorism, as it would be anywhere else. A few have been killed in Iran. Imagine the outrage there would be if Muslim countries ordered the killing of European scientists, considering them to be a threat. After all they are producing...

I enjoy reading French political history and there is a great deal to learn from it. Recently, French President Emmanuel Macron declared that “Islam is in crisis” because of increasing political violence taking place in the...
President Marcon has proposed more laws aimed at taking control of Islam in France. These are double-standards for a country that prides itself on separation between Church and State, as the French state is now taking control of Islam.
President Marcon has proposed more laws aimed at taking control of Islam in France. These are double-standards for a country that prides itself on separation between Church and State, as the French state is now taking control of Islam. France is the latest EU country to introduce such laws. Germany has already introduced such restrictions...
The Charlie Hebdo caricatures and the general attacks on the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and Islam as “a religion of violence” are not new.
