Israel is going to elections on 17 March 2015.

Recent news reports suggest that Netanyahu's campaign has started to falter recently. But it doesn't matter.

Left or right, "peaceniks" or hawks, it does not matter- none of them are willing to negotiate for peace with the Palestinians.

It was the "moderate doves" that started this new tradition of pummeling Gaza for political gain in 2009. If they return to power, nothing stops them from acting in line with their past performance.

The only glimmer from either side is that Netanyahu's bellicose performances help deligitimise Israel actions.

Those are the views of the current foreign Minister of Israel.

He wants to cleanse the nation of those who did not pack up and leave in 1948, 1967 or since.

Now if this guy had a name that sounded like Ahmedinejad, he wouldnt even have to have said what he did to have it plastered over the world's newspapers and news sites.

But since it doesn't, even though he did ask for the murder of Israeli arabs "opposed to us", it wont be reported, especially in the occupied territories of BBC News.

Online, this threat has been turned into an ISIS style threat to behead Israeli arab politician Hanin Zoabi

Yes you, yours.

If you ever thought the Iraq war was wrong or questioned the proxies operating in Syria, you are to blame for Syria.

The security services, military interventions or intelligence agencies? they are blameless.

It is not just Syria. The current chaos in Libya, that is also your fault.

If you ever suggested that meddling in Libya was a bad idea, what were you thinking!?!

You have created a monster that our beloved intelligence services now have to deal with and clean up your mess.

Forget that we were lied to about Libya, it wasn't your place to question those lies.

Now, its your fault that the world has gone to pot.

Know your place, pleb!

Today there are reports about a Briton who was so enraged by events that he went to fight in Syria has been killed.

He allied himself with groups many consider to be terrorists.

However, most news reports will be sympathetic to his case for he was not Muslim.

His case will be shown more nuance than for Muslims who may return or die in Syria - who may have even been fighting against the same group!

Many of them will also have been fighting against terrorism and barbarity - the top two groups responsible are probably Assad's forces followed by ISIS. The barbarity of Assad's forces is probably an order of magnitude greater than all the other groups combined.

One of the bloodiest battles in modern history came to an end a century ago, with casualties and losses numbering half a million people. The following explanation of the battle is taken from Yursil Blog:

Sheykh Effendi taught us a few weeks ago about the War of Canakkale, 1915 , many others continued to ask and learn about this great battle that most Muslims are sorely unaware of.

Gold/White or black/blue?

I am surprised at the number of people who get this wrong.

One of the things i am doing is randomly looking through copy on the Revival Site, which i find both informative and interesting. came across the following. [Editorial: Thank God I'm A British Muslim!] dated 23 April 2010. Well worth the time it takes to read.

The past few days there is the news of three young Muslim school girls (two are 15 and one is 16) who have disapeared from home and may be on the way to Syria.

There are pleas for their return and not to go to Syria.

Ignoring the whole craziness of them going to ISIS lands, there is a question of how it happened and how will they be treated if they return.

Just a thought, The Hippy Trail.

Back in the 60's and 70's when most people who read the revival were probably not born. The world was a simpler place, and travel for people was easier then it is now. People in the west started to search for answers to many questions. One source was to seek answers by listening to the Yogic Masters and to travel to Northern India to find enlightenment. Here is my thoughts on one such enlightenment;

I know its been a long time since I came on Revival, and I also know last time I came, I promised I was back for good.. And I have to say i went back on my word. Anyway, having recently attended the Steps to Allah conference, organised by Islamic Network, I was able to witness some live spoken word by Muslim Belal

Hence the small inspiration... (it's not anything wow, but just thought I'd share)
