Syrian Revolution: Possible Outcomes

By  Abu Anas The Syrian rebels accomplished a strategic success in shifting the balance of the battle against Bashar al-Assad's regime through  a well-crafted military plan based on guerrilla warfare tactics . The United States, worried by the rebels’ ability to carry out these unexpectedly quick and sudden maneuvers, went to the point of threatening direct military intervention. Hillary Clinton, US Secretary of State, stated on December 3rd, that “ we are certainly planning to take action if that [using chemical weapons] eventuality were to occur. ”[1] The US and  Western powers in general are trying to preserve their prior influence in Syria , which guarantees their involvement to steer the revolution towards an outcome that suits their interests.  The Assad regime is nearing total collapse and there are 4 possible outcomes for this conflict.

Q&A: About the Ijtihad of the Prophets by Sheikh Ata' Abu Rashta

The following is the translation of an Arabic Q&A from the  website of Sheikh Ata' Abu Rashta .     Question:   Are all prophets right in their ijtihad or it is only the Mustafa (saw)? The question arises due to the fact that, Ibn Kathir while explaining Surah Al-Anbiya, Ayah No.(78) quoted Abdullah Ibn Masood and Abdullah Ibn Abbas, who said that the Prophet David (PBUH) gave judgment, between the sheepherder and farm owner whose farm was grazed by the sheep of herder, to give the sheep to the farm owner. Subsequently, his son Solomon (PBUH) told him to change this, O Prophet of Allah! Then he explained the judgment on them in this way: the farm owner will take the sheep to make use of its milk while the sheepherder will cultivate the land as it was in the past i.e. before it was grazed by the sheep and Allah said  ففهمناها سليمان  ( We gave Solomon insight into the case).

Syria - Rebel's Military Strategy

By  Abu Anas The Syrian revolution has now lasted 20 months with over 40,000 killed.[1] The rebels fighting Bashar al-Assad number between 70,000 and 100,000.[2] There are several problems facing the rebels, which inhibit their ability to quickly overpower the current regime. Even though the regime's army has dwindled drastically over the past 2 years, it is still very capable, having a large arsenal of deadly weapons at its disposal. Also, it owns the airspace, utilizing its air-force to strike at the rebels from the skies.  In the face of these challenges, the rebels have been following a specific military strategy to overcome their own limitations and the regime's strengths. Due to its limited army personnel, the Assad regime had to make the hard choice of retreating from the countryside and only holding the main cities of each province. The rebels used that weakness and launched continuous campaigns on smaller towns until they have carved up a large liberated region o

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Issuance of UN Resolution that Palestine is only the West Bank and the Gaza Strip: Is that Condolence with Echoes of Lament or a Celebration of a Courageous Stand? Last night a resolution was issued by the United Nations General Assembly declaring Palestine a non-member observer state on its borders maximum up to the 4th of June 1967: "the West Bank and the Gaza Strip." The resolution was celebrated by the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank, especially by the Fateh Party, hailed by Mahmoud Abbas and Saeb Arekat as a celebration for Palestine and a historic day. It was endorsed by Hamas in the Gaza Strip as Khalid Meshaal and Ismail Haniyeh felicitated Abbas' effort! That resolution, which eliminates Palestine of 1948 forever as told by Abbas, was regarded by the people as a championed and manifested victory!
