Egypt in Crisis
A Call for An Objective Analysis - By Mohammad Azeemullah
The last seven months of uprisings in Libya have been the period of perilous turbulence and disorder. They have cost the state political, economic or social isolation from the world.

Remembering the Sabra-Shatila Massacre
This week, marks the anniversary of the Sabra-Shatila massacre at the hands of Israeli, which took place in Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon between September 16-18 in 1982. Muslims who had fled their homes due to Israeli's atrocities, had taken shelter in a refugee camp.

Mustafa Abdul-Jalil and the Great Shari'ah Divide - by Dr. Abdul Wahid
In his first speech to the people of Tripoli, Mustafa Abdul Jalil, the interim leader of Libya's National Transitional Council announced his vision for a post-Al Qathafi Libya: "We are seeking to establish a state government by law and welfare - and Shari'ah - Islamic law - should be the main source of law"

A Lesson for Democracy in Libya - by Mohammad Azeemullah
During the time of Colonel Al Qathafi regime, life in Libya was static. Change was very slow or non-existent. Innovation was tightly controlled. And on rare occasions if at all it occurred, change was announced from above. Now that era of sluggishness and disenchantment is gone.

Brand America and Brand Capitalism : Victims of 9/11 - by Hadeed Ali
The Berlin Wall fell Twenty years ago. But the optimism and triumphalism within the United States after the collapse of Communism, the end of the Cold war, and the establishment of the 'New World Order' are now in scarce supply.

Taking on Turkey: Israel’s ‘Dangerous’ Game - By Ramzy Baroud
The UN Palmer Report, which largely exonerated Israel for murdering nine unarmed Turkish civilians in international waters on May 31, 2010, seemed in some ways like the last straw. Prior to its publication, the camel’s back had already mostly broken, and a collapse in Turkish-Israeli ties was looming.

For the Love of Israel: Congresswoman’s Misguided War on the UN - By Ramzy Baroud
From an Israeli point of view, Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen is the ideal American politician. Although many in the US government aspire to her level of commitment to Israel, few can measure up to a dedication that extends beyond the very interests of her own country.

The Future of the Libyan revolution - by Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
The final chapter of the life of Al Qathafi has not been written but what we know is shocking even for a dictator. He ruled his country for 42 years as a family business. He held onto power when he was losing his touch with his people.

Harvesting Libya's Hidden Water with Holland's Help
It is both scarce and precious and the whole world wants it. Libya has large supplies of it underground. But it's not what you're thinking… we are talking about water! The Netherlands shouldn't just look to the oil industry for entrepreneurial opportunities in Libya.

Libya’s Next Fight: Overcoming Western Designs - By Ramzy Baroud
At a press conference in Tripoli on August 26, a statement read aloud by top Libyan rebel commander Abdel Hakim Belhadj was reassuring. Just a few months ago, disorganised and leaderless rebel fighters seemed to have little chance at ousting Libyan dictator Muammar Al Qathafi and his unruly sons.

Freed of Al Qathafi, Libyans Shouldn’t be Haunted by his Legacy
A new Libyan government should devise policies that benefit the Libyan people, instead of avenging Al Qathafi's legacy.

Al Qathafi no longer presents a political or even a tribal weight in the country. He’s more of a nuisance, a security challenge; a background noise that will go away sooner rather than later.

Israel’s ‘Nice Little War’: Gaza, Egypt in the Range of Fire - By Ramzy Baroud
Israeli writer Uri Avnery recently wrote an article entitled ‘How Godly Are Thy Tents?’, which began with the words, “First of all, a warning.” The reference was made to the tent cities that have sprung up across the country by middle class Israelis demanding change and reforms.

US-Arab Disconnect: Revolutions Restate Region’s Priorities - By Ramzy Baroud
As the ‘Arab Spring’ continues to challenge dictators, demolish old structures and ponder roadmaps for a better future, the US remains committed to its failed policies, misconceptions and selfish interests.

BRITAIN BURNS (While the British government spends tens of millions of pounds per week bombing Libyan children, the British youth takes to the streets)
For a fire to burn, there has to be a flame and for smoke to billow into the sky high above London, Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds and Bristol, there has to be fire - not just one, but many. While the British government spends tens of millions of pounds per week bombing Libyan children, the British youth takes to the streets. Where to draw the lines?

Gaza, Somalia: Humanity Lives On - By Ramzy Baroud
I remember how exhilarated I felt when I was told I was old enough to fast for the month of Ramadan. My feelings had little to do with abstention from food and drink between dawn and sunset each day. For a child, there is little joy in that.
