Bill C-9, known as the Combatting Hate Act, is currently under review in Canada's Justice Committee (as of January 10, 2026). While it claims to fight hate crimes and protect communities, it poses a serious threat to religious freedoms—especially for the Islamic community. From potentially criminalizing Quranic recitations in khutbahs to banning cultural symbols and creating protest-free zones, this bill could silence faith teachings, peaceful dissent, and core worship practices. Learn the key dangers to sacred texts, religious expression, and human rights, and why many faith leaders, including the Canadian Council of Imams, are calling for its withdrawal.

Here are the full statements issued in the first week of December 2025.

On 17 November 2025, the UN Security Council endorsed Donald Trump’s Gaza plan—the very blueprint he boasts will turn Gaza’s blood-soaked ruins into a luxury “Riviera”. Pakistan and two other Muslim states voted YES. Muslim rulers clapped while Israel continues to kill dozens of Palestinian children every day. Has the policy truly been reversed? Jawed Anwar delivers an unflinching analysis.

From the Kargil heights to the skies over Balakot, from the American invasion of Afghanistan to the brief but intense air clashes of May 2025, a pattern has repeated itself with uncanny consistency. Behind every major crisis involving Pakistan, the same external hands appear to pull the strings. Exposing decades of covert dealings, sustained foreign influence on Pakistan’s military leadership, and the dangerous new phase that has begun after the 27th Constitutional Amendment — forcing us to ask: has Pakistan’s long-standing policy on Israel quietly, but decisively, been reversed?

On November 13, 2025, Pakistan crossed a historic red line: the 27th Constitutional Amendment was signed into law, effectively granting the Pakistan Army — and specifically Field Marshal Asim Munir — permanent constitutional supremacy over every state institution. No tanks rolled onto the streets, no martial law was declared, yet the country now lives under a fully legalized military dictatorship. This is the most far-reaching power grab in Pakistan’s history, disguised as routine parliamentary legislation.

In the shadow of enduring geopolitical machinations, Pakistan's 27th Constitutional Amendment emerges not as mere legislative tinkering, but as a fortified bulwark for military dominance. Penned by Jawed Anwar, this probing essay (Part 1) dissects its implications against a backdrop of American imperialism—from the Soviet-Afghan War's jihadist forge under Zia-ul-Haq, to the Taliban’s defiant rise, Musharraf’s "War on Terror" complicity, and the ousting of leaders like Imran Khan. Blending sharp historical insight with unflinching critique, it reveals how civilian facades crumble under the weight of imperial agendas, urging readers to question the true architects of Pakistan's sovereignty.

In a world rife with injustice and moral ambiguity, Islam calls believers to be more than passive observers—it demands action. As Allah declares in Surah Al-Imran (3:104), "Let there be a group among you who call to goodness, encourage what is good, and forbid what is evil—it is they who will be successful." Yet, history and scripture warn that failing to confront wrongdoing isn't neutrality; it's complicity. Drawing from timeless revelations and the Sunnah, this article unpacks the profound duty of amr bil-ma'ruf wa nahi 'an al-munkar (enjoining good and forbidding evil), revealing its levels, rewards, and the dire cost of neglect. Whether through quiet disapproval or bold resistance, understand how this pillar of faith shapes the righteous community and fortifies the soul.
