Forgetting the Genocide of the Yezidis
While the international community hides behind virtue signalling.
Fri May 20, 2022
Zidan Ismail

In the summer of 2014, the Islamic State (ISIS) committed genocide of the Yezidis in their largest city in Iraq and the world, Sinjar.

The Yezidis are a religious minority in the Middle East; their main center is Iraq. At the time that the genocide began, their number was no more than 550,000 people, according to the United Nations when it was evaluating the crimes committed by ISIS against the Yezidis, which were classified as genocide and crimes against humanity.

It seems clear that what happened at the time had a goal, namely to wipe out the presence of the Yezidis. While it appeared initially that the world had grasped the significance of these crimes, now the Yezidi cause is largely being neglected amid the many crises and regional wars around the world.

The medieval Mughal emperor being debated today
15 hrs ago

A Mughal emperor who died more than 300 years ago has become a hot topic of debate in India in recent months.

Aurangzeb, often described as the "last effective Mughal emperor" ruled India for nearly 50 years from 1658 to 1707 - but he was never a favourite in the eyes of historians.

For a start - he came to the throne after imprisoning his father and having his older brother killed.

And in comparison with other Mughal rulers, he fared badly - his great-grandfather Akbar was described as the benign secular ruler, grandfather Jahangir was known for his love for art and architecture and father Shah Jahan was the great romantic who built the Taj Mahal.

Women TV presenters defy Taliban order to cover faces on air
21 May ,2022: 03:35 PM GST

Women presenters on Afghanistan’s leading TV channels went on air Saturday without covering their faces, defying a Taliban order that they conceal their appearance.

Since surging back to power last year, the Taliban have imposed a slew of restrictions on civil society, many focused on reining in the rights of women and girls.

Earlier this month Afghanistan’s supreme leader issued a diktat for women to cover up fully in public, including their faces, ideally with the traditional burqa.

ByNews Desk
Published on May 21, 2022

According to media reports, the female college student was travelling by railway along with two of her male classmates. As the train arrived at Narsingdi railway station, a group of thuggish supporters of pro-jihadist Jamaat-e-Islami and pro-Caliphate Hefazat-e-Islam charged the female as to why she was wearing jeans and tops in a Muslim country. They even said, the female was violating sharia rule and causing insult to Islam. As the male classmates of the female student protested the matter, the group of radical Muslims began physically assaulting the female student along with her male companions. They also charged one of the male companions as to why he had tattoo in his hand. This incident took place in broad-day-light while several people had videoed the entire incident and uploaded on social media. As the situation deteriorated, the female student had to run and take shelter inside the office of the station master to save her life from the unruly attackers. Railway Police rescued the female student along with her male companions and boarded them in a Dhaka-bound train. But the law enforcement agencies did not take any action against the attackers.

*****Muslims as you can see, only care about what they think and will attack anyone else who they disagree with, including killing and other muslims. It needs to be said, muslims have killed more people in one month (5000+ in November, 2014) than were killed in 350 years of the Inquisition. That's a sad fact that muslims call themselves "The Religion of Peace" when they are so violent*****

Questioning Saudi Arabia’s religious moderation
By
Dr. James Dorsey
19 May 2022

The continued production and distribution of Qur'ans that included unaltered ultra-conservative interpretations sits uneasily with Mr. Bin Salman's effort to emphasize nationalism rather than religion as the core of Saudi identity and project a more moderate and tolerant image of the kingdom's Islam.

When the religious affairs minister of Guinea-Conakry visited Jeddah last week, his Saudi counterpart gifted him 50,000 Qur’ans. Saudi Islamic affairs minister Abdullatif Bin Abdulaziz Al-Sheikh offered the holy books as part of his ministry’s efforts to print and distribute them and spread their teachings.

The Qur’ans were produced by the King Fahd Complex for the Printing of the Holy Qur’an, which annually distributes millions of copies. Scholar Nora Derbal asserts that the Qur’ans “perpetuate a distinct Wahhabi reading of the scripture.”

‘We are worse off’: Afghanistan further impoverished as women vanish from workforce
Ruchi Kumar and Hikmat Noori
Mon 16 May 2022 01.30 EDT

One morning last summer, Nasira* arrived for work at the government building in Kabul where she was employed in a managerial position to find men from the Taliban had occupied her office. “I wasn’t allowed to enter,” the 32-year-old says. “When I enquired why, I was told to wait for a government announcement, which never came.”

This was shortly after the Taliban swept to power and seized Kabul, the capital city, on 15 August 2021. That was the last day that Nasira and thousands of women like her were able to go to work. Though the Taliban’s acting prime minister, Mullah Mohammad Hassan Akhund, claimed that women would be allowed to continue working under sharia law, female government employees in Kabul were told to stay at home, and only women whose jobs cannot be done by men were allowed to work.
