The Difficult is the Path Itself, discrimination in France

By Abdennour Toumi — Paris – France The “Charlie” spirit still haunts France’s politicians, media, academicians and streets. France pre-January 7/15 is no longer France post-January 11/15.

Netanyahu exploits Charlie Hebdo for his own motives

By Amer Sabaileh When Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s attended the march against terrorism in Paris last week in the wake of terrorist attack against French satirist newspaper Charlie Hebdo,  he was in reality marching for his own agendas, not against terrorism.

I Am Not Charlie Hebdo: I Am Not the Terrorists Either

By Ray Hanania The absence of our story as Arab-Americans may explain why so many Americans hate Arabs and Muslims, especially in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo Massacre. Most Americans lump Arabs and Muslims into one category of spite because, to be honest, most Americans are uneducated and ignorant about the facts. I blame…

Muslim solutions to Terrorism in Paris

Posted on January 11, 2015January 11, 2015 By Mike Ghouse 2 Comments on Muslim solutions to Terrorism in Paris
Muslim solutions to Terrorism in Paris

Outrage, condemnation, candle light vigils and revenge talk is all good, but the need is practical solutions beyond condemnations.

Western Media should not treat Islam as a target of its insults in the name of freedom of press

By Ali Younes Muslims and Islamic organizations across the world condemned in strongest terms, and rightly so, the massacre against the journalists and editors of the satirist French Magazine Charlie Hebdo, even when at the same time disagreed and disapproved with Charlie Hebdo’s insults against the Muslim faith. Western media acts free of any legal…
