  • Friends of Fake News

    What is it that enables some leaders to continue to be inspirational and not lose followers even when their decisions may not be to their follower’s liking?

    Walk the talk because people listen with their eyes

    Please remember that in Islam there is a law. And it is not to condemn and damage a person without proper evidence. In this case, the damage is done already. Whatever happens now can’t undo that damage, especially if it comes out that the accused was innocent. Those who caused this damage may like to…

  • Close Encounters of the Terminal Kind

    Ralph Chaplin said: “Mourn not the dead that in the cool earth lie, but rather mourn the apathetic throng, the coward and the meek who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong but dare not speak.” A friend asked me for my opinion about the Bhopal ‘encounter’ which is in the news at present…

  • Turkey – History in the making

    Please read this whole article. David Herst is a man of courage. Here are some extracts: http://www.middleeasteye.net/columns/how-iphone-defeated-tanks-turkey-1556177810 To defeat the coup, the Turkish president used his iPhone. Mosques used their loudspeakers, broadcasting the call to prayer hours before dawn. Political leaders of all creeds, some staunch opponents of the president, called unambiguously for the coup…

  • Interpreting Reality

    Where and how do I begin? To speak from the heart, yet not reveal the grief, confusion and anxiety that it is filled with. Grief at the rapidly deteriorating situation all over the world where human life seems to have lost all value. Confusion as to why this sudden (or is it sudden at all?)…
