Creating religious, racial harmony in the Philippines
Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte, the country’s first leader from the southern island of Mindanao which has a large Muslim population in the predominantly Catholic country, boldly pledged in his election campaign to bring peace to the country by removing “historical injustices” that had kept the country’s Muslims as second-class citizens.It was a daring promise, considering that the Philippines has had tensions between Christians and Muslims from the very time the Spaniards conquered the Philippines in 1521-1565 and named it after King Philip. The Spaniards had killed or forcibly converted the Moors of Spain to Christianity and purged Spain of Islam and Muslims.When they encountered Muslims in what became the Philippines, they called them Moros and treated them with the same...

SnapChat doctor violates patient’s confidentiality
Al-JazirahA video of a gynecologist talking about one of her patients appeared on SnapChat. Many people viewed it because the story seemed pretty odd and the doctor gained popularity because of it.The doctor’s first offense was violating the confidentiality of her patient. She talked about her patient in detail, which is wrong because a doctor’s job is to keep a patient’s information private. It should not be made public even though the doctor only mentions the patient’s first name.Furthermore, in the video the doctor talked about collecting a sample from the patient without her permission. This violates the sixth rule of the rights and duties of a patient. It is the patient’s right to know the full plan of treatment and full details of the diagnosis before any procedure is...

More smoke and mirrors from Tehran
WHAT can be made of the sudden resignation of Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, a resignation which after two days, President Hassan Rouhani refused to accept? At first blush, it is very tempting to see this as another of Tehran’s exercises in smoke and mirrors, which signify precious little, if anything at all.The speculation over what prompted Zarif to quit has focused on the visit this week of Syrian dictator Bashar Assad, which it appears was not organized by the Iranian foreign ministry. In his opaque statement on Monday, Zarif said that he hoped his ministry would be allowed to reclaim its “proper statutory role”. It appears that Zarif was not invited to join meetings that Assad had with Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and president Rouhani, meetings...

Palestine is the foremost issue for Arabs
When the Arab armies were defeated in the war with Israel in 1948, they justified that defeat by attributing it to a host of factors. These included the continuing control of the British in some Arab countries as well as the outdated weapons used by the Arabs in the war in addition to the lack of coordination and discipline of Arab armies. Moreover, the Arab armies had to fight with Zionist militias, which were well trained by Western military advisors.After the defeat of the Arab armies in the 1948 war, the Arabs vowed to take revenge and started preparations for the next war in order to teach the enemy a bitter lesson. But the setback came in 1967 when Israel launched a surprise war on three Arab countries: Egypt, Syria and Jordan. In spite of the verbal skirmishes that preceded the war,...

Saudi Space Authority: A path to the future
Al-RiyadhThe establishment of the Saudi Space Authority is a giant step that will provide a qualitative change in intellectual culture for future generations in line with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030. Space science represents a quantum leap in monitoring geography and observing vegetation. It also helps the government monitor urban development and contributes to the development of curriculum for students to raise their awareness about the world of space and its future possibilities. That is why it is being taught as a scientific subject to students in Japan and Europe from an early age.Space rivalry began as part of the ideological rivalry of the Cold War between the East and the West. Russian astronaut Yuri Gagarin was the first man in space, and American astronaut Neil Armstrong...

Staying healthy is good for you
Although similar words of advice have been floating around for a while in one form or the other, it is good to repeat them every now and then to help all of us keep our health in check. I had these words taped unobtrusively to the front of my fridge for some time, but a recent contribution from a reader prompted me to take a closer look. These are natural foods; herbs and roots that help us combat most maladies.Insomnia: Honey is good to combat this condition, although it may not help very much if you have a civil service appointment the following morning.Headache: Eat lots of fish. The oil in them prevents headaches. Ginger helps as well in reducing inflammation and pain. Trying to get a reservation on a flight to anywhere in summer however does not.Arthritis: Fish again, and lots of it....

Urgent de-escalation essential
The Indian air strikes on Pakistan are an unacceptable escalation in the confrontation between these two nuclear-armed powers over Kashmir. They are also particularly disappointing given the efforts last week of Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman to defuse the rising tensions between the two countries.The assault by Indian warplanes was on what Delhi says was a training camp of the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) group in Balakot. While the Indian Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale told a news conference there were heavy casualties, Islamabad reported no one had been killed or injured but that the attackers had dropped their bombs on open ground and fled when Pakistani fighters were scrambled to intercept them. Pakistan’s army spokesman Major General Asif Ghafoor produced photographs to back up this...

Moments etched in memory
Al-RiyadhTHE maxim “One who has nothing can give nothing” is applicable to everyone.People sometimes lose valuable things in life. Even so they are able to give more than what they have.When he was a baby, my father lost his mother. He didn’t get a chance to pronounce her name or feed on her breast milk. His emotions were intense. He loved us dearly.He loved his relatives and friends as well. I never heard him swear, slur or criticize anyone who he might have disagreed with. He loved everyone and smiled at everyone. He was a symbol of love, peace and purity.He never went to school, but he taught us when we were young the hardest lessons of life.We grew up treading his path even though he left us a long time ago. We were just kids, the oldest was about 17 years old, when he died. The...

What are we all looking for?
Al-JazirahEVERYBODY has different goals and aspirations. Each one of us takes different routes but walks toward the same destination.Have you ever thought about why we want to hold prestigious jobs? Or why do we work so hard to build good relationships with people around us? Why do we travel or go on vacation? Why? Why? Why? We will ultimately reach a simple answer. Our goal from all of this is to experience happiness. All of us want happiness and search for it through different ways.Each one of us sees happiness from a different perspective, however. Some sees it in wealth while others see it in their excellent career performance or in their helping mentality.Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence. Aristotle once said only the good...

The Saher needs a revamp
MakkahIN Bloomington, Indiana, I was going back home one night in the summer of 2011. Bloomington, home to Indiana University, used to be well-known among Saudis, especially academics, during the 80’s and 90’s.Because it was late at night and the city seemed deserted, I ran a red light. I thought no one was out there watching because it was a small city that lived on the university students throughout the semesters. It completely shuts down during the summer, so how about a hour out at late night! I honestly thought I was the only one in the city.After I passed the traffic light I saw the bright lights of a police car right behind me. I pulled over. The officer walked to my vehicle and said, “License and registration”. A few minutes later he returned and told me that I committed...
