Well, to be realistic, it is probably unlikely that Allah will have anything to say about this terrible conflict.  Considering that he has not been know to comment on any other conflict, although he might have been purported to have done so, in times gone by. However, considering what we know of Islam - including its association with 'peace' -, and what the Muslims clothed with garments of compassion and humility might have to say.  It seems most likely that Allah would have wanted the destructive conflict in Yemen to cease, and for peace to prevail, so that the nation can begin the process of rebuilding itself.  Something which will undoubtedly present it with a formidable challenge, as it would/will be doing so from a minus position.  Minus, that is, by starting to rebuild nearly  or from scratch again. As if it has been taken back to where it was many decades, if not centuries. Yes, it is inconceivable that Allah would not have said to Crown Prince Muhammad

That aside, the transition from living to being dead can occur in what can seem a very brief period of time.   From apparent good health and mobility to poor health and restricted mobility.  From good mutual interaction to significant emotional withdrawal. Then to suddenly diagnosed, as tends to be the case, terminal ill-health, to now, the occurrence of anticipated death.  The latter coming within a matter of several days. How can it be; how could it have been so?  And now, begins the process of this dear friend of ours, becoming no longer an integral part of our lives, as they are no longer here, but somewhere else.  And is therefore no longer here, to reinforce their occupation of that part of our lives which had become theirs.  When they were physically alive, and not just one of our many significant memories.  Of course, it is not really the case that this dear friend of ours has only recently assumed this now diminishing role in our lives.  Because, in truth, t

Of course, the advantages and disadvantages of being either a male or female are relative and not absolute. They will vary depending on the event or circumstances which apply at any given time.  In general, however, it seems accurate to work on the premise that the disadvantages to being a woman, to being female, will tend to be greater than those confronting males. Probably one of the biggest human attributes, defining the role of females, in society, is that of perceived sexuality, and, more specifically, that of female sexuality and/or sexual objectification.  The relationship between men, it seems, is predicated upon adversity and competition.  Whereas the relationship between males and females, are predicated upon attributes pertaining to desire, love, attraction and the aspiration to possess the other. If these attributes are to be denied, become too suppressed or prohibited.  Then, what we might be left with, is an evolved 'asexuality' between th

And, perceiving this to be the 'norm of conflicts or wars', the Saudi Monarchy, indeed, Britain, America, and France.  Might be understood, even if not condoned, for not, as it were, feeling anyway out of placed or as if they are doing anything wrong.   By ruthlessly and persistently pursuing their goal of destroying Yemen and its national viability, on the pretext of wanting to restore Mansour Ali, as their choice of vassal leader.  This is how the Saudis have seen the Americans and their European allies fighting wars in Iraq, in Libya, in Afghanistan, and in Syria. To a great extent, this is how 'modern wars' are being fought, which is largely how wars have probably always been fought.  Which is why the attempt to sanitise, to differentiate between the 'enemy combatants' and the 'enemy' or 'enimised' civilians', have not, or probably, will ever be successful.  With the 'enemy' or 'enimised' civilian becoming

Could it be that Ms Haley and President Trump want these poor oppressed Iranians - as much as they would want for the poor and oppressed Palestinian people - to have 'freedom' from poverty?  From not having any jobs, from poor housing and social infrastructures? Well, probably not.  Not when you consider that President Trump and his Administration, including the now dubious humanitarian and human rights advocate, Haley.  Are ardently looking for and contriving fake pretexts to continue to and/or subjecting Iran to economic sanctions.  Sanctions which have helped to create the negative economic and social conditions which have given rise to or help to fuel the current protests and violence. Hi, Nikki! Any plans for making your first humanitarian visit to Yemen, to advocate on behalf to the thousands of people who are being killed, injured and the millions who are being displaced and starved? Not yet, eh. Oh, well, some other time, eh? So, what the hell is Nikki

Muslim women, the 'politically correct' and, yes, libertarian arguments go, should have more freedom in deciding how they live their lives, what they wear and how they wear it and conduct themselves.  Muslim men,  it goes, should not be so possessive of and oppressive of their women.  They should let them have their freedom, and do not treat them as their possession.  Even if, as they might argue, there might be something in what they say about 'protecting' their women' from the prying and wondering eyes and lust of other men. Both Muslim and men who are not Muslims. And, in order to achieve this 'libertarian' outcome for Muslim women and teenagers. European governments have, over recent years, taken to changing their laws.   To forbid those women wearing certain types of head and face covernings. And, on the other side of this 'political correctness' towards traditional Muslim women, we have a resurgence of 'puritanism&#

This is not simply a matter of poor and disaffected Iranians challenging their government to better serve the needs of the people.  It is about geo-politics, about attempting regime change, it is about hostile forces outside of Iran, working with their Iranian collaborators to bring down the government.  We have already had President Trump saying 'it is time for a change in Iran'. Even though the country has only recently had an election.  We also have Israel's Prime Minister, Netanyahu, expressing his resolve to confront Iran and working with Trump to bring an end to the Nuclear Agreement. As usual, in these situations, the true collaborators will only be a small minority, but they are likely to succeed in manipulating a bigger minority to support them, while not declaring their true objectives to them. All of which is why the Iranian government and people need to work together to bring a swift end to this reckless attempt to destabilise the country.  An

So, what is it about vultures and hyenas that they have a peculiar sense for detecting where death and an opportunistic meal might be lurking?  What is it about Nikki Haley and her boss, America's Donald John Trump. That they are honing, zeroing in on Iran, expecting, hoping that the disaffected poor Iranians who.   Notwithstanding the desperation which some of them might be feeling, are now taking action which is more likely to make their bad situation getting worse, than better?  Just that they, they, the Americans, are hoping to use this opportunity to intensify their war on Iran and her people. Nikky Haley, America's Ambassador to the United Nations, has recently made a statement supporting the "freedom loving people of Iran."  And expressed her intention to endeavour to convene a meeting of the United Nations, in support of the "freedom loving Iranians" who are, she intimated, fighting their government, to obtain their 'freedom.'
