Dictator Sisi and his rather ineffectual army

I have tried to avoid talking about other things while Israel's vile offensive against Gaza continues, but as I consider Dictator Sisi to be even more guilty for the suffering of the Gazans, I will post this.

On Saturday when asked about Ceasefire negotiations over Gaza, the Egyptian foreign minister stuck by their ceasefire proposal drawn up with cooperation of Israel - now that Israel has taken out its anger on Gaza for the Palestinians forming a unity government, to return to how things were before Israel decided to do that and kill hundreds.

Egypt under Dictator Sisi has closed off the border with Gaza and is actively complicit in its treatment of the Palesinians.

Leaked Trojan Horse report: "anti-US and anti-Israel" rhetoric is sign of "extremism"

A new report by Ex-cop Peter Clarke was "leaked" into the media yesterday. The headlines stated that there was 'A coordinated agenda to impose hardline Sunni Islam'.

What the headlines don't say is that Peter Clarke says that "anti-US and anti-Israel" rhetoric is a sign of "extremism".

So next time a teacher wants to talk about justice and oppression, if you point out justice and oppression by Israel or the US, its a sign of extremism.

Great interview where Ali Abunimah of Electronic Intifada tells it how it is, calls out the BBC in their biased reporting. Brilliant watch. More anchors need to be called out like this.

Interesting Facts About Quran

Quran is the religious scripture of Islam and Muslims value it as the last Holy Book of Allah Almighty that was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Quran carries guidelines for Muslims that tell them the right way by following which they can find truth in this life and enjoy a marvelous life in the world hereafter.

Details of Hamas & Islamic Jihad's 10 year truce offer to Israel

This is the sort of content that will often get "lost" and ignored when pro-israeli aggression individuals state that Israel has "no partner to talk to" instead of admitting that it is their own side which is preventing any peaceful resolution.

Ma'an News Agency refers to a report in Hebrew-language daily Maariv which quoted a "high-profile" Palestinian source stating that Hamas and Islamic Jihad were willing to sign a truce upon agreement of ten simple conditions:

My thoughts on "Faith Schools Undercover"

Channel 4 Dispatches have created a documentary looking at the influence and effect that faith communities have had on the way a school functions and the changes it has had to their approach on certain practices. As usual they went undercover. 

There were several issues that were brought up and I'd like to focus on a few of them. The first was no clapping in class or assemblies. Studying at an independent Muslim school (which is very different to a free school or state school), I was never taught not to clap, no teacher addressed the issue nor did any student bother to clap anyway. Not clapping didn't seem to be a problem to anybody.

The Muslims Blogging Here Are Just Plain Racist, No?

I have been scrolling through the blog posts from the last two months, trying to find a post where Muslims shed a tear for thousands of Muslims who died in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and anywhere other than Gaza. Is it because you hate Jews more than you love Muslims that you speak of nothing else?

I will answer: no. It is because you are afraid to try to exercise any influence with Muslims that is not already supported by the jingoistic masses. You are not racists. Just cowards. You do nothing for peace, and nothing for the wellbeing of Palestinians.

That's the truth.
