QURAN, VIOLENCE & TRUTH: Who Are the Real Enemies of Islam?

Image
Is Islam misunderstood or misrepresented? Discover the truth about extremism, religion, and who is really responsible for Islam’s global image. A powerful, thought-provoking analysis. QURAN, VIOLENCE & TRUTH: Who Are the Real Enemies of Islam? A difficult but necessary question must be asked in today’s world: Who truly represents Islam—and who is destroying its image? Across global conversations, Islam is often caught in a storm of controversy. Yet, beneath the noise lies a deeper truth many are afraid to confront. Is Islam under attack from outside—or is something more dangerous happening within? Let’s start with clarity. Islam, like other major religions, teaches discipline, justice, compassion, and submission to God. At its core, it promotes moral living and accountability. So why then does the global narrative often associate Islam with violence? Is the religion the problem—or the interpretation of it? The Dangerous Power of Misinterpretation History has shown that when religio...

BWALA INTERVIEW: Open Letter To Mehdi Hasan!

Image
The Interview Video. Dear Mehdi Hasan , T his letter may or may not get to you. If it does, I hope it finds you well. Your interview with Daniel Bwala practically set the Nigeria social media space on fire. As your eyes go over these lines-if indeed this letter does find you, your mind may be reeling afresh in recall of the trauma your Nigerian guest put you through. Yes, trauma because your eyes may wonder whether you had a human or an animal before you in that interview. As your eyes ran over those printed facts with dates and you confronted those words owner with his own words, which he beamed with smiles while he disowned them all, you almost could be smitten with a heart attack by those 'legendarically' shameful denials. You confirmed this with three very heavy breaths.Thank God you survived. May you never see evil again Mehdi. However, something is critically important and it is of  critical importance that we make it well understandable to you and to the world. Wha...

Pakistan bombs Kabul in ‘open war’ on Afghanistan’s Taliban government

Image
Pakistan bombed major cities in Afghanistan including the capital Kabul on Friday, with Islamabad’s defence minister declaring the neighbours at “open war” following months of tit-for-tat clashes. AFP reporters in Kabul and Kandahar heard blasts and jets overhead until dawn. The operation was Pakistan’s most widespread bombardment of the Afghan capital and its first airstrikes on the southern power base of the Taliban authorities since they returned to power in 2021. Near the key Torkham border crossing between the two countries, an AFP journalist heard shelling on Friday morning, and a camp accommodating Afghans returning from Pakistan was hit by the fighting overnight. “Children, women, and old people were running,” Gander Khan, a 65-year-old returnee, told AFP in front of rows of tents at the Omari camp. Pakistan’s latest operation came after Afghan forces attacked Pakistani border troops on Thursday night in retaliation for earlier air strikes by Islamabad. Relations be...
