The following is a translation from an Arabic Q&A. What is the current status of Bashir's case on the Darfur issue in the International Court of Justice? Presently one observes a lessening in the acuteness of tensions between Europe & America, does this imply that they are closer to a solution on these issues? Answer: First of all: To fully answer the question, it is necessary to present the relevant details of the issue: 1- The ICC is a European initiative designed to strengthen their interests under the umbrella of international law as well as to challenge US hegemony. The ICC was created in 1998 by a treaty known as the Rome Statute. The ICC is supposed to be an independent, permanent court that tries persons accused of the most serious crimes of international concern, namely genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. The ICC is intended as a court of last resort for such crimes and intervenes when national justice systems do not take effective action. 2-The Unite

Obama’s victory will not change America’s foreign policy in the Muslim world Despite the feeling of elation expressed by some Muslims at Obama’s victory, very little is about change in the way America treats the Muslim world. Obama has gone on record to support the Israeli hegemony over Palestine. He has also tapered his commitment to withdraw immediately US troops from Iraq and has placed the burden of troop reduction on army commanders.

Even his comments on engaging Iran should be taken with a pinch of salt, as like Bush he has refused to take the military option off the table. Muslims must realize that a black president does not spell a change in foreign policy. Currently America is at war with Muslim world and Obama will be its commander in chief. Bulgaria has the largest concentration of Muslims Bulgaria has the highest relative share of Muslim population

She has gone to great lengths to try and paint her book as innocuous, declaring her intentions were good. Jones will have heard of the commonly used phrase ‘The road to hell is paved with good intentions’, what matters is the end product not the intended aims. One of the outcomes of this book is the restating of slander against Rasool Allah (salAllahu alaihi wasallam). For a very long time a motley crew of anti-Islam/pro Christianity proponents and self-proclaimed defenders of ‘Judeo-Christian civilization from the global jihad’ have made allegations against the relationship between the Prophet (salAllahu alaihi wasallam) and his wives. In particular the attack has centred on what is perceived as being the Achilles heel of the Muslims, namely the Prophet’s (salAllahu alaihi wasallam) marriage to Aisha. Although Sherry Jones does not dwell into the subject, she

Article 10 All the Muslims shoulder the responsibility of Islam. There is no clergymen in Islam and the State should prohibit any sign of their presence among the Muslims. Explanation and evidences: Although Mujtahids are scholars, however not every scholar is necessarily a Mujtahid, for a scholar could either be a Mujtahid or a Muqallid (imitator). If the Muslim were to take the Shari'ah rule in order to act upon, this requires some consideration:
