Oppression: What the World needs to be constantly reminded of:
In light of what has recently been happening in Palestine, let’s look at some historical examples of the same type of oppression, that’s just as vile as what we’ve witnessed in the Levant during our very own lifetimes: 1. The Crusades, the Christian invasions of the Muslim-World, during the Middle-Ages (1095-1456 C.E.) 2. The Spanish Continue reading

My thoughts on Mohamed Mursi, the Muslim-Brotherhood & a potentially new Egypt:
The Muslim Brotherhood has recently acquired, via one of their own, the reigns of the Presidency of Egypt. Now, the office of President, in the hands of Mohamed Mursi, has caused a lot of concern, as well as controversy, within Egypt herself, within the Mideast, among her regional neighbors, as well as on the international Continue reading

Oppression is wretched!!!
It is something that will taint your soul. You’ll never reach Paradise, our goal. Tyranny is something that which Allah has banned for Himself. Yet, we have the audacity to strip the creation of their wealth. This wealth is priceless: they are our lives, properties & honor. Violating, taking these things from others is an Continue reading

My thoughts on Bashar al-Assad: Syria’s abusive father!!!
https://fb.watch/kQqs4CPdZd/?mibextid=Nif5oz https://fb.watch/kQqMxdLhwA/?mibextid=Nif5oz Bashar al-Assad: Syria’s Abusive Father!!! Take a look at what my own father has done: I’ve been beaten & maimed in the pleasure of he. He has repeatedly raped & brought shame to me. His wrath is just overbearing and it has never been mild. He’s violated the sacred trust between parent and Continue reading

My thoughts on the War on…everything!!!
We’re fighting all the wrong wars, for all the wrong reasons!!! Instead of a war on drugs, let us wage a war upon hypocrisy. The U.S. had supported the Contras, to promote Democracy. They were the political MS-13, yet they were given the free range to help the CIA to smuggle narcotics. It was done Continue reading

Tale of 2-Tyrants: al-Hajjaj ibn-Yusuf and Bashar Al Assad
https://fb.watch/kQqs4CPdZd/?mibextid=Nif5oz https://fb.watch/kQqMxdLhwA/?mibextid=Nif5oz These two men have a lot in common: al-Hajjaj ibn-Yusuf lived over a thousand years ago; but, apparently, tyranny in the Muslim-World, unfortunately, didn’t die with him. Bashār al-Asad has seemingly been the Geo-Political Reincarnation of al-Hajjāj, basically picking up where he left off. And, the Irony is that they’ve both been Leaders Continue reading

My thoughts on the Egyptian military:
Author’s note: This article has been written in light of the recent gruesome & shameful beating of several persons in Egypt, particularly one woman, who was not only beaten, but shamefully stripped publicly of her traditional Islamic-dress, exposing her private parts-The sad & horrible irony is that the ones who did this are Muslims, in Continue reading

Disposable-Rulers:
Oct. 20th, 2011, the world-wide announcement of the death of the Dictator of Libya, Muammar al-Gaddafi was made. He had been on the run, in his own country, for the past few months, fighting a no-win civil-war with U.S./U.N.-supported rebel forces, made up of his own fellow countrymen. The reason why I’m bringing this up Continue reading

The Palestinian people, the Muslim Palestinians anyway, have not made the issue of Palestine a religious issue-They’ve only made this an ethno-national issue, while forgetting that Palestine is the long-lost sector of the Muslim-World.
