What prophet was hiding in

What prophet was hiding in the mind? And why he was fearing with people? 
Whether any ill intention of prophet was there? 
اللہ سے ڈرنا لوگوں سے ڈرنے5سے زیادہ سزاوار ہے کیا اس سچائ سے پیغمبر نا آشنا تھے؟  جو ایسی خطا کر رہے تھے؟ اگر کسی عاقل سے اصلاح ہو جائے تو شکر گزار رہونگا۔

Verse divided your wives in

Verse divided your wives in two groups. First is of those to whom you paid dowry and second is of them who are unpaid. 
First group is lawful for you. 
While second is unlawful. 
Now question is, for what purpose these wives are lawful and unlawful  ?
Whether for wed or for the sex? 
If for wed then thee can't be addressed as wives  !
And if for sex then it's immoral.

Once our prophet said that

Once our prophet said that Talaque is a worse practice then these methods , rules, orders etc regarding the practice are baseless and unnecessary. 
Muslims should be rigid on the belief that Our prophet disliked the practice of Talaque and I shall never use this cruel practice. 
Muslims assumes Hallala as a remedy or provision but it is a means to prevent  a foolish from this inhuman practice.

BJP loses fifth state election as India rocked by citizenship protests

Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalists win only 25 of 81 seats in Jharkhand, ending five years of rule

The Indian prime minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist party has lost a key state election, a setback for the party as it faces huge anti-government protests against a new citizenship law.

According to results announced by country’s Election Commission late on Monday, the Bharatiya Janata Party, or BJP, yielded power to an alliance forged among the opposition Congress party and powerful regional groups in eastern Jharkhand state, where the voting took place this month.

History has never produced

History has never produced such a wicked and shrewd politician as of muawiya ibn e abu sufyan. The so called false sahabba has polluted the very fabric of islam. The first person to convert the concept of Caliphate in islam into Kingship. The comrade of shaitan who wore the cloth of islam but never was a muslim from inside. He played political gimmicks and followed the footstep of his forefathers. Muawiya was the father of all khwarij and the one who killed Hazrat Usman R.A and started blaming Hazrat Ali R.A.  Muawiya was responsible for the battle of camel between Hazrat Ali R.A and Bibi Ayesha R.A with the help of khwarij. 

Those who portray this bloody treacherous muawiya as a sahaba are blind in faith. The so called false katib e wahi among 17 others never knew the philosophy and spirit of islam but remained indulged in materialism and power politics. He shaked hands with Romans and persians to plot and  help in the assassination of Hazrat Omar R.A, Hazrat Usman R.A, Hazrat Ali R.A and Imam Hassan R.A

Muawiya's bloody wife (The grand daughter of Hinda - the one who ate the liver of Hazrat Ameer Hamza R.A) wrote a poem in which she wishes that her son (Yazeed - May Allah's curse be upon him) kills the progeny of Muhammad (Peace be upon him and his cleansed progeny) - Imam Hussain R.A 

Shame on those people who revere and regard this maniac muawiya (May Allah's curse be upon him). He never was a sahabba and never have been. He did nothing for islam during the life time of Prophet (PBUH). He and his cursed father abu sufyan accepted islam on the final conquest of Mekkah. They had no place to run but to accept islam. 

the division of shias and sunni in islam is because of Muawiya. Hazrat Omar R.A never liked him as well. Those who regard him and give him respect are basically themselves followers of shaitan

It’s shameful that Johnson has reneged on the inquiry into Tory Islamophobia | Samira Shackle

By diluting the remit, the prime minister ignores a very real problem that invades every aspect of British Muslims’ lives

A few years ago, I was reporting a story about Prevent, the government’s counter-extremism programme. I interviewed various Muslims from around the UK who had interacted with the programme in one way or another. Many wanted to be anonymous. These were ordinary people, not activists, and for many it felt too risky to draw attention to themselves, even if they had not been accused of wrongdoing. “We’re already seen as terrorists,” one young woman told me. “Just look at the way people talk about our community.”

I thought about that young woman as it was announced that Boris Johnson would replace a promised inquiry into allegations of Islamophobia within the Conservatives with a more broad-brush review of how the party handles discrimination complaints. There is compelling evidence that the Conservative party has a specific problem with Islamophobia. During the election campaign, the party continued to back several candidates who had made Islamophobic statements; a dossier of social media comments found that 25 Tory councillors had posted racist material including descriptions of Muslims as “barbarian” and “the enemy within”. The prime minister himself has ridiculed burqa-wearing women as looking like “letterboxes”. A poll in June conducted by YouGov for the anti-racist organisation Hope Not Hate found that more than half of Conservative party members believe that Islam threatens “the British way of life”.

The BJP wants to silence us. But our voices will only grow louder | Amit Chaudhuri

The backlash against the Citizenship Amendment Act shows that Indians will not accept the party’s distorted vision for their country

Huge nationwide protests, involving people of various religions, professions, castes and classes, such as haven’t been seen since the freedom struggle, took place in India last week. To understand this outpouring of rage and euphoria connected specifically to the recent Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), and more broadly to what it means to be an Indian, we must look to the re-election of the rightwing Bharatiya Janata party (BJP) in May with an overwhelming majority.

Absolute power became for the BJP a licence to initiate one draconian change after another, all of them in some way to do with the status of Muslims in India, and, umbilically connected to this, with the status of democracy. Among these was the implementation of a national register of citizens (NRC) in the state of Assam, ostensibly to uncover illegal migrants from neighbouring Bangladesh. The real motive seemed to be to identify Muslim migrants. The government made a promise: once this was complete, it would happen in the rest of India.

Narendra Modi defends contentious citizenship law amid protests

PM denies law is anti-Muslim as police clash with demonstrators across India

Clashes have continued between Indian police and protesters angered by a new citizenship law that excludes Muslims, as the prime minister, Narendra Modi, used a rally for his Hindu nationalist party to defend the legislation, accusing the opposition of pushing the country into a “fear psychosis”.

Twenty-three people have been killed nationwide since the law was passed in parliament earlier this month in protests that represent the first major roadblock for Modi’s Hindu nationalist agenda since his party’s landslide re-election last spring.

The Observer view on India’s divisive citizenship law | Observer editori

Narendra Modi has gone too far: Hindus and Muslims deserve better from a secular nation

Narendra Modi’s new Indian citizenship law is dangerous and offensive. It is dangerous because it institutionalises and encourages discrimination against Muslims, a minority of 200 million people that is already the target of daily, petty prejudice and periodic, violent persecution. It is offensive because, whatever the government says, it clearly undermines India’s post-independence constitutional commitment to a secular state.

Modi has overreached. Re-elected as prime minister in May, when his BJP party secured a large parliamentary majority, he has sought, with increasing vehemence, to impose his hardline Hindu nationalist views on a country that is rightly renowned for its ethnic and religious diversity. In August, in a sign of things to come, Modi revoked the special constitutional status of Kashmir, India’s only Muslim majority state.

Musicians decry Hamas ban on co-ed school concerts in Gaza

Authorities sanction strict Islamic fatwa that forbids boys and girls playing together on stage – but face strong criticism from teachers

Two orchestral concerts by students and graduates of Gaza’s decade-old music conservatory have been cancelled after the Hamas authorities insisted for the first time that they could not go ahead with girls and boys playing together on stage.

The Gaza music school, part of the Palestinian-wide Edward Said National Conservatory of Music, rejected a new single-sex condition which the conductor told the Observer would be a disaster for the 45-member orchestra if sustained by the de facto government.

Gandhi’s great-grandson joins wave of protest at law isolating India’s Muslims

As the new Citizenship Act risks defining Muslims as ‘infiltrators’, Tushar Arun Gandhi lends support to the backlash

Last week 25,000 protesters gathered in Mewat, in the Indian state of Haryana, to begin the historic five-mile walk to Ghasera village. It was here, 72 years ago, that Mahatma Gandhi made the same journey during the turmoil of partition, visiting the area with the promise of a dignified life for local Muslims.

While millions have retraced Gandhi’s steps before, this time felt different. Against the backdrop of a new Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) passed by the Indian parliament last week, which many believe is openly discriminatory against Muslims and relegates them to second-class citizens, honouring Gandhi’s words of religious harmony and reconciliation felt like a powerful political statement. “Mewat has witnessed many protests, but this is the biggest in our life,” resident Shahzad Khan told local media.

Today we are again fighting a battle of right against might, so it’s very natural that Gandhi becomes the icon of the protest

Johnson accused of 'rewarding racism' after Zac Goldsmith peerage

Muslim leaders say decision casts doubt on commitment by Tories to tackle Islamophobia

Boris Johnson has been accused of running a government that “rewards racism” after the appointment of Zac Goldsmith to the House of Lords and the decision to keep him on as environment minister.

The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB), which criticised Goldsmith’s mayoral campaign in 2016 for smearing Sadiq Khan, said honouring him with a lifetime peerage raised serious questions about the party’s commitment to tackling Islamophobia.

Isnt it obvious why he

Isnt it obvious why he ordered him to divorce her? Because she was ungrateful to her husband and Allah Almighty. The basic teaching of Islam is to be grateful to Allah ALWAYS, and in case of a wife, it also includes the husband because he is spending his hard-earned money on her for the rest of her life.
Both wives were living the same lifestyle but the second one of was very grateful and humble towards Allah and her husband. She was also especially respectful to Prophet Ibrahim even though she did not recognize him as her father-in-law, which implies that she was well-mannered and respectful of elders as well. The first wife would have only caused him grief and worry with her whining and moaning.

India clamps down against citizenship law protests

Critics say Narendra Modi’s Citizenship Amendment Act ‘has declared war on Muslims’

Authorities have imposed an emergency law banning large gatherings in parts of India’s capital, Delhi, as nationwide protests escalated, injuring police and demonstrators.

A week after a controversial new citizenship law was passed by parliament, which has been accused of openly discriminating against Muslims, protests across the country showed no sign of abating.

Tory Islamophobia inquiry chair in row over Kashmir views

Swaran Singh’s neutrality in question over comments conflict is not Muslim-only tragedy

The newly appointed chair of the Conservative party’s inquiry into its handling of complaints about discrimination, including Islamophobia, has been plunged into a row over comments he made about the disputed Kashmir region.

The Tory peer Sayeeda Warsi questioned the views of Prof Swaran Singh, who was announced on Tuesday as the chair of the review, after he wrote a piece for an online publication whose editor has dismissed Islamophobia as a term designed to shut down criticism of Islam.

The Guardian view on Modi’s citizenship law: dangerous for all | Editorial

New Indian legislation purports to help those fleeing persecution abroad – but deepens communal divides at home

Thousands nationwide have protested against India’s new citizenship law in recent days, facing a brutal police response. This is arguably the biggest display of opposition to Narendra Modi since he took power six years ago, and for good reason. Demonstrators have been urged into action not by the sense of a new direction being established, but of the confirmation of the country’s alarming trajectory. The legislation is the proof that Mr Modi’s Hindu nationalist project is not a containable anomaly, but an enterprise that threatens the nation’s very foundations of pluralism and secularism. Fear overshadows the hopes of that seven-decade endeavour.

The prime minister has piously tweeted: “This is the time to maintain peace, unity and brotherhood.” Superficially this is, as the BJP government claims, a law that expands rather than removes rights. It creates a fast-track path to citizenship for Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists, Parsees and Christians arriving from Muslim-majority states, who would otherwise spend years labelled as illegal immigrants. But no one considering either its text or context could seriously regard this as a measure of inclusion. It is inherently one of exclusion, which discriminates against Muslims fleeing persecution, and signals that Muslim citizens are not “truly” Indian. It undermines constitutional protections which apply to foreigners as well as citizens in India.

India citizenship bill: shock at crackdown may unite Modi opponents

Demonstrations against bill are most significant show of dissent in nearly six years of Modi in power

Student protests are not unusual in India. Nor is police violence. But the scenes of officers entering one of Delhi’s Muslim-majority universities, teargassing the library and beating demonstrators and bystanders have shocked a country thought to have become inured to both.

Fuelled by the apparent police brutality, protests against a controversial bill to fast-track citizenship for everyone but Muslim asylum seekers were spreading on Monday to other major universities and cities across the country, in what is becoming the most significant show of dissent in the nearly six years since Narendra Modi took office.

The legislation, passed by parliament in December 2019, allows Delhi to grant citizenship to millions of illegal immigrants who entered India from three neighbouring countries on or before 31 December 2014 – but not if they are Muslim.

The Guardian view on Myanmar and genocide: humanity on trial | Editorial

Criticism of Aung San Suu Kyi’s defence of her country must not overshadow the issue at the heart of the case at the international court of justice: the ongoing suffering of Rohingya Muslims

Aung San Suu Kyi’s decision to personally defend Myanmar in the genocide case at the international court of justice this week has torn away any scant remaining shreds of moral credibility from the figure once lauded as a champion of democracy and the fight against oppression. Yet what is at stake is far more than one woman’s reputation.

Nor is this even about the six military leaders – including the commander in chief – who UN-appointed investigators last year said should be prosecuted for the “gravest” crimes against civilians, including genocide. This is about the more than 700,000 Rohingya Muslims from Rakhine state forced to flee to Bangladesh since late 2016, the 10,000 who UN investigators believe may have died in the crackdown, and the 600,000 still living in apartheid conditions, denied basic rights.

Dudley central mosque doesn’t look like a building with the potential to help shape an election. Sitting in the shadow of the impressive Dudley castle, it is a crumbling former school with inadequate parking: depressing and dilapidated, the only hint to its true purpose are the two white domes stuck on its facade.

The Muslim population in here have historically been staunch Labour supporters: the party has seven Muslim councillors on the local authority. But after the community lost a 15-year battle to open a new mosque all that is up for grabs.

Islamophobia is apparently a “natural reaction” to Islam, with the faith being “the most viciously sectarian of all religions in its heartlessness towards unbelievers”. So wrote Boris Johnson in the Spectator in 2005.

Inside the hate factory: how Facebook fuels far-right profit

Guardian investigation reveals a covert plot to control some of Facebook’s largest far-right pages and harvest Islamophobic hate for profit

The message from Israel arrived on an otherwise unremarkable afternoon for 36-year-old Beau Villereal.

At his family’s sprawling 42-acre property outside Live Oak in Florida’s rural north, Villereal sat alone in his bedroom trawling for news about Donald Trump to share on the rightwing Facebook page he runs with his mother and father.

Ariel1238a is not a web expert. He asks rudimentary questions including how to set up a business email domain and increase traffic to his sites.

A mysterious group has used some of Facebook’s largest far-right pages to create a commercial enterprise that harvests anti-Islamic hate for profit and influences politics across the globe, a Guardian investigation has revealed.

For the past two years the Israel-based group has co-opted at least 21 organically grown far-right pages, using them to churn out thousands of coordinated posts to more than 1 million followers across four continents and funnelling audiences to a cluster of 10 advertisement-heavy websites to milk the traffic for profit.

Locking up extremists isn’t working in the UK’s cash-strapped prisons | Alan Travis

After the London Bridge attack, the Tories must account for why their ‘jihadi jails’ have so far failed

The contrast could not have been sharper. David Merritt, the father of the first named victim of the London Bridge terrorist, responded: “My son, Jack, who was killed in this attack, would not wish his death to be used as the pretext for more draconian sentences or detaining people unnecessarily.”

But he had barely uttered the words before Boris Johnson was vowing to introduce a “tougher” sentencing regime that would, in the words of the headline writers, “lock terrorists up and throw away the key”.

Labour and Tories row over early release of London Bridge attacker

MP Yvette Cooper asked why Usman Khan was freed despite being deemed dangerous

A row has broken out between the Conservatives and Labour over the practice of reducing jail terms for violent offenders following the London Bridge terrorist attack.

The home secretary, Priti Patel, blamed the previous Labour government after the party’s MP Yvette Cooper asked how the attacker, Usman Khan, could have been released when he was deemed dangerous.

Usman Khan was sentenced for serious terror offence in Feb 2012. Thought to be so dangerous by judge he was given IPP sentence to prevent release if still serious threat. Instead he was released 6 yrs later without Parole Board assessment. How cd this be allowed to happen? ...1

The Parole Board could not be involved in this decision @jeremycorbyn. Your party changed the law in 2008 so that Khan was automatically released irrespective of the danger he posed. Very concerning that you want to be PM but don’t understand this.https://t.co/uqUBggmEbg

Sayeeda Warsi on Tory Islamophobia: 'It feels like I'm in an abusive relationship'

The Tories promised an investigation into anti-Muslim prejudice in the party – then watered it down. How high does the problem go? Disillusioned insiders – and the former party chair – speak out

In June, a message pinged on Tory peer Sayeeda Warsi’s phone. “Right, sorted out that Conservative party Islamophobia investigation!” it read triumphantly. The sender? Sajid Javid, who was then home secretary.

Earlier that evening, during a televised Tory leadership debate, Javid had bounced his fellow contenders, including Boris Johnson and Michael Gove, into apparently agreeing to the Conservatives holding an independent inquiry into Islamophobia.

Muslim Council: parties must tackle Islamophobia to win votes

Body seeks 10 pledges in election where Muslims could affect outcome in 31 marginals

Candidates and parties campaigning in the general election must commit to tackling racism and Islamophobia to win the support of Muslim voters, according to the Muslim Council of Britain.

A manifesto setting out how parties’ policies could affect Muslims has been published by the MCB after consulting its affiliates and communities across the UK.

There have been trials of voter ID in local elections and the Conservatives have stated that they want to bring in some form of UK-wide ID requirement for voting in the future, but for this election there is no change to the current system.

It's the climate, not immigration, that keeps Australians awake at night

The Scanlon Foundation’s annual report on social cohesion finds a country still largely welcoming of migrants, although 40% hold negative feelings towards Muslims

Something happened in 2017. Australia is second only to Canada in welcoming immigration on a large scale. Our faith in the benefits of accepting newcomers of all faiths and races is rock solid. But a couple of years ago we began to grow impatient about the government’s management of the immigration program, impatient in particular about overcrowding in our cities.

This is the verdict of the Scanlon Foundation’s 2019 Mapping Social Cohesion report, published on Tuesday. The mission of the foundation for the past decade or so has been to measure how this migrant nation hangs together. In that time an extraordinary 50,000 of us have been polled to track the hopes and fears that sweep Australia – and not just about immigration.

The education line cuts across the immigration debate like a mighty trench

90% of us have a sense of belonging to this place.

87% are proud of the Australian way of life.

85% agree multiculturalism has been good for Australia.

84% report having a happy 2019.

80% welcome resettlement in Australia of refugees assessed abroad.

79% oppose selecting immigrants by race.

73% believe Australia is a land of economic opportunity where, in the long run, hard work brings a better life.

71% believe globalisation is good for the country.

68% believe accepting immigrants from many different countries makes Australia stronger.

62% are optimistic about Australia’s future.

61% of Australians disapprove of asylum seekers making their way here by boat.

47% of us have little or no concern about the treatment we mete out to asylum seekers in PNG and Nauru.

40% in 2019 admit negative or very negative feelings towards Muslims.

The fundamentals are sound, even as about one in 10 of us continue to rage against this new Australia of many faiths and many cultures

Only 27% of university graduates say Australia takes too many immigrants, but for those who never finished high school the figure is 70%.

Nearly 90% of graduates applaud multiculturalism but only 61% of those who never finished school.

Among graduates, 58% worry we treat refugees too harshly, but their fears are shared by only 32% of who never finished school.

While a rump of 14% of graduates still wish immigrants could be chosen by race, support for the old White Australia position more than doubles to 35% who never finished school.

India: Muslim Sanskrit professor forced to flee by Hindu students

Feroz Khan in hiding after nationalist group protested he ‘cannot teach us our religion’

A Muslim scholar of Sanskrit has gone into hiding after protests from some rightwing Hindu students claiming that, as a Muslim, he cannot teach Sanskrit, the ancient classical language of Hinduism.

Feroz Khan, 29, was the unanimous choice of a selection committee at Banaras Hindu University in Varanasi for the post of assistant professor of Sanskrit literature. The committee members were impressed with his erudition, which stems from a childhood passion for the language that continued into further education.

Muslim voters could swing 31 marginal seats, research finds

List of constituencies is released as mosques launch voter registration drive

Muslim voters could affect the outcome in more than 30 marginal constituencies in next month’s general election, according to research published as mosques prepare for a nationwide registration drive.

The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) released a list on Monday of 31 marginal seats in which Muslim voters could have “high” or “medium” impact.

Marginal seats are parliamentary constituencies that have had a history of changing hands between parties, or in which the incumbent MP has a very small majority. Eleven seats were won by fewer than 100 votes in 2017. Often parties will target marginal seats with extra campaigning resources, as they are the places where they feel they are most likely to affect the balance in the House of Commons.

There have been trials of voter ID in local elections and the Conservatives have stated that they want to bring in some form of UK-wide ID requirement for voting in the future, but for this election there is no change to the current system.

Australia's foreign minister labels China's treatment of Uighurs 'disturbing'

Marise Payne repeats calls for China to end arbitrary detention after internal documents reveal Xi Jinping’s call to ‘show no mercy’ in Xinjiang

Australia’s foreign affairs minister has labelled new details of China’s mass internment of Uighurs “disturbing” and reiterated demands for China to end arbitrary detention.

Marise Payne made the statement in response to internal Chinese government documents showing its mass detention of Uighurs and other minorities in Xinjiang came from directives by Xi Jinping to “show absolutely no mercy” in the “struggle against terrorism, infiltration and separatism”.

The Guardian view on Sri Lanka’s election: danger ahead | Editorial

Voters choose a new president this weekend on the Indian Ocean island. If they opt for the Rajapaksa family it augurs badly

There are worse things than disappointment, as Sri Lankans may find out when they go to the polls on Saturday. The 2015 presidential election was heralded as the start of a new era. Strongman Mahinda Rajapaksa was unseated when Maithripala Sirisena, a senior figure within his own party, joined forces with the opposition United National party. The opportunity was largely squandered. The full extent of dysfunction was exposed last year when Mr Sirisena ousted prime minister Ranil Wickremesinghe and installed his old foe Mr Rajapaksa – only for parliament to rebel and the supreme court to reinstate Mr Wickremesinghe. But the true cost became even clearer when Isis-inspired bombings killed 269 people this Easter, and catastrophic intelligence and police failures were subsequently revealed.

The fallout could see the Rajapaksa family return to power. Gotabaya “Gota” Rajapaksa of the Sinhalese-Buddhist nationalist SLPP, who served as defence minister under his brother, is one of two frontrunners. Mr Rajapaksa is subject to lawsuits relating to torture, fraud and corruption. He wants Mahinda, unable to run again due to term limits, as his prime minister. The Rajapaksas oversaw the end to the decades-long civil war, but one UN report suggested as many as 40,000 Tamil civilians died in its final months. Tamil politicians were murdered and thousands of Sri Lankans disappeared.

Exclusive: dossier on 25 current and former councillors adds to pressure on Boris Johnson to launch independent inquiry

Twenty-five sitting and former Conservative councillors have been exposed for posting Islamophobic and racist material on social media, according to a dossier obtained by the Guardian that intensifies the row over anti-Muslim sentiment in the party.

The disclosure that 15 current and 10 former Tory councillors have posted, shared or endorsed Islamophobic or other racist content on Facebook or Twitter will increase pressure on Boris Johnson after he backtracked on a pledge to hold an independent inquiry into the issue.

When it comes to Islamophobia, Tory eyes are still wide shut | Nesrine Malik

Matt Hancock’s dismissal of Sayeeda Warsi shows the party thinks prejudice against Muslims is a problem it can afford

The black protagonist of Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man struggles to divine the correct norms and beliefs in a world where he is invisible because white people refuse to see him. “When they approach me,” he says, “they see only my surroundings, themselves, or figments of their own imagination – indeed, everything and anything except me.” The problem, in other words, is not that white people look upon black people with a clear and knowing prejudice. It is that they have constructed what he calls “inner eyes”: “those eyes with which they look through their physical eyes upon reality”.

A celebration of Muslim women in Lagos – in pictures

In 2011, visual artist Medina Dugger, from California, moved to Lagos, Nigeria, where she was inspired by local Muslim women to create her series Enshroud. “The series doesn’t take a stance in favour or against veiling, but supports both a woman’s right to choose and her religious expression,” she says. Each digital collage is created by layering two separate images: first, Dugger photographs the women in hijabs, then she superimposes them on top of plastic prayer mats. “I photographed them twirling, jumping and skipping to recreate moments I’d witnessed in the city, which were often incongruent with my previously held notions of women in hijab.”

Ayodhya verdict: Hindus win possession of India site disputed by Muslims

Supreme court says five acres where mosque was torn down in 1992 should become site of Hindu temple, with Muslims given other land

The Indian supreme court has ruled that India’s most hotly disputed piece of land rightfully belongs to Hindus, with judges granting permission for a temple to be built on the site in Ayodhya.

In their unanimous and historic judgement, the five supreme court judges stated that the site rightfully belonged to Hindus, based upon the claim it is the birthplace of their god Ram.

India tense before ruling on holy site claimed by Muslims and Hindus

Supreme court due to decide fate of Ayodhya, where mosque was torn down by Hindu hardliners in 1992

India’s supreme court is expected to make a historic ruling on Saturday over the highly disputed religious site of Ayodhya, which is claimed by Hindus and Muslims.

The site has been one of the country’s most controversial religious grounds since the Babri mosque, which had been standing since the 16th century, was reduced to rubble by Hindu fundamentalists during a 1992 riot in which more than 2,000 people died.

The Guardian view on Indonesia’s president: after the hope | Editorial

Joko Widodo rode to power on a wave of optimism. Supporters gave him a second term – but there are already concerns about how he is using it

A second and final term can free a leader, as Joko Widodo has acknowledged. The question is how he will use his new liberty. Five years ago, he was widely hailed as “Indonesia’s Obama”. His rise was seen as another step forward for the world’s fourth most populous country and biggest Muslim-majority nation. Its transition from dictatorship two decades ago had already made it an important and much-needed model of democracy in the region and to the Muslim world. But Jokowi, as he is popularly known, was also an outsider, the first president from a humble background. Unconnected to the authoritarian era, he had earned a reputation as a clean politician as governor of Jakarta. Like Mr Obama he stood for hope in a sullied political world.

Now he has begun his second term. His campaign slogan was “Indonesia advancing”. But many of those who once cheered him now see a country backsliding on critical issues including human rights, religious tolerance and the general quality of its democracy.

'Fear factor is broken': protesters demand removal of Iraqi government

Crowds of dissenters in central Baghdad want to banish Iranian influence from Iraqi politics

The biggest protest movement in Iraq since the fall of Saddam Hussein has pressed its demand for the removal of the elected government, staring down an embattled political elite and the widespread influence of Iran.

Friday’s rallies of tens of thousands came a day after supporters of Iraq’s embattled leader, Adil Abdul Mahdi, believed they had won the backing of one of two powerful figures that threatened his premiership, a development that appeared to stabilise his position on Thursday.

The Guardian view on Baghdadi’s death: not enough to destroy Islamic State | Editorial

The sociology of violence espoused by Isis will only be defeated by a political project that transcends the religious, nationalist and ethnic schisms in the region

At the end of June 2014 Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was announced as a caliph of all Muslims in a declaration that not only proclaimed a new “caliphate”, but also warned fellow believers in Islam that they must “pledge allegiance and support”. Baghdadi, the latest leader of so-called Islamic State, had made a name for his group with a murderous reign of terror culminating in the shock fall of the city of Mosul into his hands a fortnight earlier. His claims about “crushing the idol of democracy” and defeating “agents of the crusaders and atheists, and the guards of the Jews” were followed by a campaign of genocide, slavery, rape and ultra-violence against Muslims primarily. Baghdadi’s empire-building came to nothing when the “caliphate” collapsed in March this year. The world’s most-wanted terrorist ended his life as a fugitive who decided that he would kill himself rather than surrender to justice. He came to an ignominious end; reportedly cornered by US special forces, Baghdadi blew himself up in a tunnel in Syria, killing three of his children as well.

Unfortunately, Donald Trump could not resist the opportunity to make a series of questionable statements and promote himself. His claim that Baghdadi “died like a dog” was unpleasant, unnecessary and will cause unintended problems for the United States that will require undoing, especially in the Muslim world where canines are considered unclean. It would help first to get the facts straight, instead of shrouding them in the “fog of war”. When Osama bin Laden was killed under the Obama administration in 2011, days after the event it had to offer an account that contradicted its previous assertions. There’s good reason to expect that the Trump White House might have to correct a few self-serving myths in the coming days. The fact that Baghdadi took his own life means that the policy of killing members of terrorist groups as part of America’s war on terror continues without the necessary and long overdue debate about the ethics and legality of targeted assassinations.
