Islam vs Muslim Nationalism
Jawed Anwar Islam and Muslim nationalism are two different concepts and practices. People generally mess up these two different, complete and contradictory terms. Islam is a Deen (system of life) prescribed by all the Prophets and Messengers of Allah --from Adam to Muhammad (peace be upon all of them). Nationalism is a modern Western concept that is worshiping nation, state, race, color, or community, and its symbols.
Enjoining Good, Forbidding Evil
Jawed Anwar In my previous column, I mentioned three main evils of our society (North America) and God’s responses (commandments). These three evils are: Shirk (partnering other gods with Allah). This is the master of all evils (shirk in all segments of life --political, social, economy, judicial, religious, cultural, etc.). Riba (transactions involving interest and usury). Act of nation of Lut (Lot) (homosexuality, LGBT culture).
Three Most Prominent Evils and God's Responses
Jawed Anwar There are three most heinous crimes and sins people commit on this earth: Shirk (partnering other gods with Allah) that is the master of all evils (shirk in all segments of life --political, social, judicial, religious, and cultural, etc.). Riba (transactions involving interest and usury). Act of nation of Lut (Lot) --homosexuality, LGBT culture.
Pity the poor, and pity the poor Palestinians
By Yvonne Ridley Here in Britain the horrific tower block blaze which proved to be the deadliest in London since World War Two is still making front page headlines more than one week after the flames were finally extinguished.
Why the Terrorists Will Never Win
BY Yvonne Ridley Muslim communities in towns and cities through Britain have come together in solidarity with people of different faiths and no faiths to express their sorrow over the recent terrorist attacks in Manchester and London. Glasgow was one of the vigils I attended and was invited to address the crowds who braved wind and rain followed by brilliant sunshine all within the space of an hour.
Do You Know Who is Talking to Your Son?
By Yvonne Ridley I am haunted by the Manchester bomb attack. Like many other people I'm angry, sad and confused, and have endured a rollercoaster of other emotions as I try to work out why a young British man would carry out such a revolting and savage act in the city where he was born. Don’t worry about being labelled a snitch; if it saves lives, the short-term discomfort is worth it.
Truth Has Become Un-American
By Paul Craig Roberts Those of us who have exited The Matrix are concerned that there are no checks on Washington’s use of nuclear weapons in the interest of US hegemony over the world. Washington and Israel are the threats to peace. Washington demands world hegemony, and Israel demands hegemony in the Middle East.
Manchester Massacre: Why They Don't Discuss Root Causes?
By Abubakar N. Kasim Toronto, Canada Words can't describe the magnitude of the horrific tragedy unfolding in Manchester, UK where at least 22 people have lost their lives including innocent children. It shows the barbaric nature of this evil act where even children are not excluded. Don't the evil perpetrators also have kids of their own, I wonder. Nothing can justify this horrific act. No religion, no ideology or even animalistic way of life can condone it no matter what.
Manchester False Flag
The New York Times, “all the New World Order that’s fit to print,” featured the “signature” numeral 22 in both the headline and subhead – and mentioned the “fortuitous ID” that somehow always turns up to finger the patsies
The Implosion of Western Society (Part 3)
Elder George AN amendment to the proposed new health care bill in the United States requires that prospective health providers do not discriminate against people who have “pre-existing conditions,†which means already diseased people cannot be turned down by a health insurance company.
Islamophobia and anti-Islamophobia: Both to Stop Islam
Nuh (Noah) (peace upon him) presented Islam to his nation --Tauheed (there is no god but one Allah-- and asked them to surrender to Allah to attain peace (Islam), Risalah (I am a Prophet and Messenger of Allah), and Aakhirah (the end of this world and the Day of Judgement when everyone will be accountable and will be rewarded or punished according to his/her deeds). He said to his nation, “That you may worship (obey) none but Allah or else I fear for you the chastisement of a grievous day.
Palestinian Commitments Lasting a Lifetime
By Yvonne Ridley WHEN I signed my first petition demanding justice for the Palestinian people I was a 13-year-old schoolgirl and it marked the start of what has become a lifetime commitment. From reading about the atrocities of Sabra and Shatila through to personally eye witnessing the aftermath of the Jenin Massacre and climbing on board a boat to break the Siege of Gaza, I thought that little more could shock me as I tried to raise awareness of such breathtaking injustices.
The Implosion of Western Society (Part 2)
By Elder George THE removal of restraints on female behavior provides women of the Western influenced world limitless opportunities to make whoopee as they increasingly and uninhibitedly express their emotions and desires. Even the so called enlightened women with New Age values say with spiritual conviction that right and wrong or good and bad don’t exist. Isn’t that wonderful?
In Support of Donald Trump's Order for Religious Freedom
Jawed Anwar I fully support Donald Trump's executive order boosting religious freedom by erasing IRS restrictions against political activities by tax-exempt religious organizations. He announced "no one should be censoring sermons†The order fulfilled a campaign pledge, during a Rose Garden National Prayer ceremony on May 4, attended by religious leaders, activists, and other leaders.
The Implosion of Western Society (Part 1)
Elder George THE past few years has seen a relatively limited posting of essays on my website (mensaction.net) because of what I considered a lack of involvement by the readership. After positing more than 160 essays and not having created much of a following I decided to take a hiatus. Then recently I thought of the advice of a friend who indicated the importance of getting the message out regardless of the immediate response. He said people will take action at the opportune time.
