The turbulent 2011 at a glance

It was a year of wars, revolutions, threats and failures.

(TEHRAN) - 2011 was a turbulent year for the world.

With chained revolutions in the Arab world, mounting financial crisis in Europe and the unprecedented wave of protests and mass demonstrations in the U.S. against the corporate system of the government which has long swallowed the rights of the defenseless majority of the people voraciously, one can call 2011 the year of global unrest and tumult.

Salafis to Hindus & Buddhists: Reconvert Back to Islam

Nearly 2000 Salafis are planning to travel to Bangkok next week to protest against the huge number of Buddhists who were allegedly Muslims in previous lives but now either don’t remember or don’t seem to care.

(EL KOSHARY, Cairo) - The Egyptian Salafi movement has accused the Indian government of holding captive millions of Hindus and Buddhists who had allegedly been Muslims in a previous life.

“These people had converted to Islam at some point in the distant past and they are now being kept hidden inside Buddhist temples and ashrams all over South Asia,” said Salafi leader
Mohammed Hareeqa-

Muslim Brotherhood Strongest Contender in Libya`s Coming Elections

Even women’s rights are being supported by the MB….sort of.

(TRIPOLI) - It appears, from interviews and discussions with a wide range of Libyans, that the Muslim Brotherhood currently has very little popular support among this pious conservative, Sunni Muslim society.

Yet the Muslim Brotherhood is odds-on favorite to win the June elections, in the view of many observers here in Libya.

West Bank 2011: One year of Humiliation in a Two Minutes Video

A new year in the West Bank...

(ALEXANDRIA, Egypt) - Christmas... a rainy and great wind swept over the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Trees bent and roofs rattled but the wind couldn’t carry away the suffering, vulnerability and the long 365 days of humiliation.

IN the so called Middle East’s only democracy, they do not do guillotines. But there are other innovative rituals of humiliation, designed to reassure the Palestinians that every New Year could well be their last in the land of olive trees.

9/11 and Israel: Alan Sabrosky`s Candid Interview

If you're American, this would arouse fierce anger, shock, and indignation and make your blood boil.

(MELBOURNE) - In this edition of the Autograph, Susan Modaress interviews Dr. Alan Sabrosky, a ten-year US Marine Corps Veteran and a graduate of the US Army War College.

A writer and consultant, specializing in national and international security affairs, who with astonishing candour discloses intriguing facts on the implication of Israel in 9/11 events that are by and large unheard of in mainstream media...

`Democratic Underground` Attacks Salem-News Writers Opposed to Racism

Alison Weir and Eileen Fleming attacked by "Democratic Underground"; very democratic standing up for a war crime government, yup...

(SALEM) - Here we go again, this time it is the (cough) "democratic underground" that decided to take a stand for apartheid by stabbing our brave writers in the back.

The fuss is over a video that we posted, in which a former Israeli soldier talking about war crimes committed against the Palestinians in '48...

Of Exclusivity, Loyalty and Liberation of Palestine

Jewish-Only Organizations . . . A Closer Look...

(LONDON) - Due to recent events of alienation and/or expulsion of members of Palestine Solidarity Movement, including Palestinians, it became more and more evident that there are elements in the movement who continue to stir up friction and splits amongst activists.

These lead to alienation of many genuine activists and even exiled Palestinians.

I am sick of...

I am sick of... 63 years of Nakba.

(BETHLEHEM) - The end of the world is Dec 21, 2012 according to the Mayan Calendar being the year 5125.

I do not know about that but I do know that the window of opportunity to end the world of privilege and chosenness is quickly closing and we must have enough people involved in speaking truth to power and finally removing this power from the elites.

I met Jesus today

Christ is only a side note to even the loudest of the right wing political Christians.

(LONDON) - It is an inevitable fact that Jesus Christ, who was born a Jew, was absolutely a Palestinian. Consider how Christ, portrayed as an abused monkey in Israeli television, might react if he were reborn in present-day Palestine, oops... I mean Israel.

All rules aside, they say possession is nine tenth's of the law, and this seems more of a universal truth than an American one. Israel without question is in possession of almost all of Palestine today, the home of Jesus.

New Video `Moments Of Gaza` Offers a Different Look at Isolated, Coastal Palestine

New video by Fox Designs in Gaza introduces a real vision of an embattled region where some people still smile.

(SALEM) - I suspect Gaza holds the world's record for the society most misportrayed, misconstrued, and subjected to propaganda.

This battered and war-torn population has the entire Israeli hasbara 'reeducation' program pointing their fingers in unison and breathing down their necks, chanting "terrorist" when describing ordinary human beings.
