Rift in PAS as theories abound over "conservatives" and "liberals""In Malaysia’s highly racialised politics, a unity government will spell the end of multiracial governance, the battle cry of Anwar’s opposition coalition which earned it the support of voters of all stripes. There will be a dangerous dichotomy of Muslim-Malays only as the governing race on one hand, and the non-Muslim dominated opposition on the other. In a multi-religious Muslim country, this can have a destructive effect, especially if the non-Muslim opposition takes their grievances to foreign powers or gets financial backing to wrest power “democratically”, such as what has been happening in Nigeria and Lebanon." |

Sudan faces destabilization despite recent improvement in its image"The West wants to prevent a huge Muslim-dominated country like Sudan from becoming strong and stable. Such a country would provide serious competition to Ethiopia, which is ruled by a Christian minority and has consistently served Western interests in the region. Religion is one of the reasons for the conflicts, which explains why the West, backed by the UN, is also openly opposed to the surging Islamic groups in Somalia. Any country in the region, such as Eritrea, opposed to Ethiopia and friendly to Sudan, is also a target of the West’s animosity, while those opposed to Sudan, such as Chad, are given diplomatic, economic and even military support." |

Bananas"The hard core of the fanatical settlers, which is almost entirely composed of religious people (many of whom are “reborn Jews”) decided long ago to gain control of the army from within. In a systematic campaign, which is in full swing, they penetrate the officers’ corps from below - from the junior ranks to the middle to the senior ones. One can see their success in statistics: from year to year the number of kippa-wearing officers is growing." |

An Important Moral Question"The best way to protect the troops would be to keep them on US soil. They are needed to build housing for the homeless." |

Analysing Iran's Elections"In recent media coverage, much has been said about Iranian youth automatically assuming that they all oppose the Islamic government. This is not true, as the US-led survey found. This misconception has emerged because Western reporters only talk to north Tehran-based, university educated youth. These spoiled children of the rich do not represent the entire country. Nor is the Internet the instrument of change in Iran, as made out by media reports. The poll by Ken Ballen and Patrick Doherty found “that only a third of Iranians even have access to the Internet, while 18-to-24-year-olds comprised the strongest voting bloc for Ahmadinejad of all age groups.” |

Ethnic Cleansing as a State Policy"It seems clear now that the UN General Assembly Resolution 4686 of 1991, which revoked an earlier one equating Zionism with racism (the 1975 Resolution 3379), was a premature measure." |
