The Times’ failed attack against Mend is good news
Every now and then, a servile Islamophobic journalist whips up a hatchet job so embarrassing that even their newspapers seek to bury it in the middle somewhere or behind a subscription-only paywall so it is only read by their faithful. This is what happened after quite a fruitless 3-month “investigation” into Muslim community group Mend, by Dominic Kennedy who, one naturally feels sorry for having wasted so much time in his McCarthyite witch-hunt to end up with nothing of substance for whoever put him up to the task. Indeed, his article literally consists of disparate statements hastily thrown together in…
Muslim Journalists on Trump’s “kill list”
Former AlJazeera Islamabad bureau chief Ahmad Zaidan, and US-born Bilal Abdul Kareem from On the Ground News (OGN) in Syria, are suing President Donald Trmp and other top administration officials. They filed a lawsuit Thursday claiming that they were erroneously placed on a “kill list” under the Obama administration, and that the Trump administration has illegally maintained that designation. The lawsuit also alleges that Trump has reduced some safeguards on the drone killing programme. NSA whistle-blower Edward Snowden leaked documents published by The Intercept in 2015 indicating that US officials claimed that Zaidan was a member of AlQaeda and of…

Why the world needs to remember Sir Gerald Kaufman
Britain’s oldest serving MP, Labour’s Sir Gerald Kaufman, died last night at the age of 86. Kaufman was distinguished due to the fact that he was both Jewish and an outspoken critic of the criminality of the state of “Israel”. He was born in Britain to Polish Jewish immigrants and raised as an orthodox Jew. He became an MP in 1970 for constituents in Manchester. Over the years, he became well known for using his voice and position to call for justice for Palestinians, sanctions against “Israel” and generally raising awareness of atrocities the state of “Israel” committed against non-Jews,…
Church of England’s turmoil over “gay marriage report”
Church of England facing “split” The Church of England has been said to be in “turmoil” after its General Synod (legislative body) debated for hours last night on a “controversial” report produced by Bishops after three years of conversations, costing a reported £300,000. The controversy around the report was due to its opening a debate around same sex relationships and its official reinforcing of the status quo of officially ordained marriages being between one man and one woman. After hours of debate the motion to “take note” of the paper was rejected as it failed to reach a consensus among…
Shocking report exposes secret “Human Slaughterhouse”
Today Amnesty International has published a harrowing 48-page report, exposing the “cold-blooded killing of thousands of defenceless prisoners” secretly and systematically in just one particular Syrian government jail called Saydnaya. An estimated 13,000 people have been hanged there in the past five years, by mass hangings of up to 50 at a time, after beating, torture and sexual assault. They are overwhelmingly, according to the report, ordinary civilians believed to have been against the Assad government; a common modus operandi of the Syrian regime silently known by the world for years. Over the course of the year-long investigation until December…
