American
Muslims and the 2008 Presidential Elections: A Report
Posted | October 31, 2008
Another presidential election is upon us. For
the past eight years the policy and political discourse in this country has
systematically shifted to the far right. It is time a balance is restored.
The tone of politics is often set at the top and it is therefore essential
for change to happen in the White House. If America’s political equilibrium
has to be restored then the current Presidential elections must be the
turning point. Click to read the entire report.
To "save
Iraqi democracy", Bush's War in Iraq will now target Shias too
Apparently, the Bush
administration’s appetite for war and violence is not being satisfied with
Afghanistan, Iraq and Somalia; it is actually seeking to open new fronts
with more enemies.

to spread the disease of religious intolerance?
Democracy Restored
Posted |11.08.06

current midterm elections is that it was not just a referendum on Iraq. This
election was about change. Americans are seeking a new leadership, certainly
new direction, but perhaps not a shift in values. .. To read the entire

Iraq: There
is a Third Way
The U.S. can
perhaps diffuse the problem by Muslimizing the occupation of Iraq, by
demanding key Arab and Muslim allies to provide the necessary additional
troops.

What
is true for Spiderman is also true for the US – with great power comes
great responsibility. As the sole superpower it is the US’
responsibility to maintain the global order and nurture the international
system, not become a destabilizing force.
The
U.S. does not have to abandon Israel to defend its other interests in the
region, all it has to do is use its enormous leverage to ensure that
Israel’s policies are moderate and prudent and safeguard both Israeli
and American interests. To read the entire article click here.
