Islamic Revival

Israel once again bombs the men, women and children of Gaza. Predictably the rulers in the Muslim world give their usual lip service condemnation. Egypt's Mohamed Mursi said,  "The Israelis must realize that we don't accept this aggression and that it can only lead to instability in the region."  But like his predecessor Mubarak, Mursi indeed accepts this aggression by refusing to take any concrete action such as tearing up the 1979 peace treaty or sending the army in to Sinai to annex Gaza back to Egypt. Since its inception Israel has committed atrocity after atrocity against the Muslim ummah leading some of those in positions of power to become weak and frightened of standing up to such a 'powerful' state. But Israel is not the first arrogant aggressor to attack the Muslim ummah. In the mid-13th century the Mongol Empire under the leadership of Hulagu Khan (Genghis Khan's grandson) invaded the Islamic Khilafah, occupying its lands and even killin...

Press Release In Response to Foreign Affairs Minister Frans Timmermans on Gaza In reaction to the Jewish bomb attacks on Gaza, the Foreign Minister Frans Timmermans commented that ‘Israel' has the full right to defend itself proportionally. He even added that the Palestinians are mainly responsible for the escalation of violence in the Gaza strip. "Hamas fired off missiles. The current misery caused by the ‘Israeli' bomb attacks can therefore be blamed on Hamas." In other words the minister is saying: "It is the fault of the Palestinians, because they started!" A comment like this one is expected from the Dutch government. Because they are known for their unconditional love and support to the illegal Jewish entity and this has been proven throughout the years again and again. However, what remains disturbing is the rhetoric used by the Dutch government. What does the minister intend with the use of violence ‘proportionally'? That an army wi...

By  Abu Anas It has been reported by Reuters that Israel has assassinated Hamas’ top military leader, Ahmad al-Jaabari, in Gaza on Wednesday afternoon. Al-Jaabari was the head of Izz el-Deen Al-Qassam, Hamas' military wing.  This incident breaks a truce brokered by Egypt between Israel and Hamas reached yesterday .[1] The Israeli government said the assassination and the afterward bombings were in response to rockets launched by Hamas and other militants within the Gaza Strip into Israeli towns. This false allegation has always been used by Israel for their actions, although their track record shows an almost consistent Israeli instigation prior to a retaliation by Gaza.  This time, Israeli forces have killed a 12-year boy after they “ had entered some 100 to 200 meters (yards) inside Gaza ” before any prior provocation by Hamas. [2] There has been much speculation about what prompted Israel to conduct the assassination and the  attack on Gaza.  Some analyst...
