I would like to add my voice to the Guardian's call to Take away Aung San Suu Kyi’s Nobel peace prize. She no longer deserves it George Monbiot wrote, "Few of us expect much from political leaders: to do otherwise is to invite despair. But to Aung San Suu Kyi we entrusted our hopes. To mention her name was to invoke patience and resilience in the face of suffering, courage and determination in the unyielding struggle for freedom. She was an inspiration to us all.”
By Yvonne Ridley Well it seems your President Donald Trump and I have found some common ground, at last! POTUS has just imposed sanctions on a Myanmar general accused of leading an ethnic cleansing campaign against the Rohingya people.
Jawed Anwar BRITISH government of Indians didn’t allowed any opposition to the government. Saying anything in the opposition of the British government was a criminal act. Today’s so-called champion of “freedom of expression” and democracy --hypocrite West-- never allowed any voice of dissent in any part of their occupied lands. But it was allowed to disgrace and abuse the most sacred personalities
Mobeen Vaid The Cities of Sodom and Gomorrah: The Prophet Lut ( Lot. as) lived at the same time as the Prophet Abraham (as) and was sent as a Messenger to a neighbouring tribe to the Prophet Abraham (as). That tribe, according to the Qur'an, practiced a perversion never before seen in the world: homosexuality.

The evacuee property was “confiscated” by the State of Makkah, sold to bidders and the money thus obtained was put into a war fund. The complete list of Ashab e Badr Al-Kubra
By Yvonne Ridley I AM now home from Cox’s Bazar on the `Bangladesh-Myanmar border and appreciate my surrounds like never before. I am sitting here in the secure knowledge that no one is going to threaten or drive me and my family from our home. It makes me feel warm and safe but it also makes me feel sad because it is a feeling that is denied to the Rohingya people.
IT is strange that, with all that has been written about Prophet Muhammadﷺ (peace upon him), the world still does not know about the unparalleled personality of the last messenger of Allah and compassionate leader of humanity. Allah has given him the title of “mercy for the two worlds” and has called him gracious and merciful.

The men kept and treated them as they wished. Men were disappointed and ashamed at the birth of a girl and buried them alive. In the Qur’an, Allah says: “And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked for what sin she was killed” (81: 8-9).
By Yvonne Ridley So here we are again, another week and another fine mess your president has created because, like it or not, Jerusalem affects all of us.
