The Unnerving CAA: Literal analysis!
Safi H. JannatyThe Citizenship Amendment Act, 2019 (CAA) has rightly brought people from all walks of life to record their protest over the divisive policies and biased politics of the BJP government. Regardless of the faith one follows or the religion one practices or the ideology one believes in, a plain reading of the Act would make one wonder how India, a role model of secularism and diversity, could legislate a law that is full of the seeds of discrimination and bias.At the first instance, being such a critical move poised to fundamentally alter the essence and spirit of the Constitution, it was a gross error on the part of the government in not explaining the need, basis and objectives of their proposal to the public in order to gauge their mood before even deliberating on the...

The Unnerving CAA: Literal analysis!

How do you solve a problem like plastic?
Jess LosariaRemember that floating plastic bag scene from the movie American Beauty? Ricky Fitts, the character who shot the footage in the film, was re-watching it with a companion and narrates to her that the imagery evoked feelings in him that there was so much beauty in the world that his poor heart couldn’t take it.I’m sorry, but how can you really equate beauty with a piece of trash that has been infamous for polluting our oceans for decades? No one can deny the important role of plastic in our lives – we use it to pack our kids’ food in lunchboxes, to carry groceries and even to build homes – but it makes you wonder if this is worth making our own planet potentially uninhabitable.Just last year, only weeks apart, the carcass of a pilot whale and the limp dying body of a...

The Arab autumn tweets!
OkazI believe in the principle of giving others a second chance, and when it comes to the relations between citizens and their nation, of giving them a third and even a fourth chance.Every human being can be influenced by ideas, information and pressures that form opinions and convictions. However, one’s position with regard to these influencing factors might change. There may also be a change in the influencing factors, such as the correcting of information, or the revealing of new facts.Therefore, we must not hold a person captive to his previous stance against his nation, without taking into consideration his current stance.We must also differentiate between objective criticism and destructive criticism, between those seeking to introduce reform and those seeking to satisfy their own...

World’s policeman wakes up from coma
By Hani Al-DhahiriOkazAround 13 years ago, precisely in January 2007, an American military officer lifted his hand, in the last moment, from pressing the button to launch a missile toward a vehicle somewhere in northern Iraq.The vehicle was carrying Qasem Soleimani, the head of the Quds Force. What prompted the officer, who was tasked with a secret operation, to backtrack from eliminating him was an urgent order from his command, which found that Washington would avert the political fallouts by the cancelation of the operation and instead decided to continue surveillance on him.This alarming information was contained in an earlier article written in The New York Times by Gen. Stanley McChrystal, retired US commander of the Joint Special Operations Command, who had been assigned with the...

World’s policeman wakes up from coma

What after Soleimani?
Exactly as the US Defense Secretary Mark Esper had said last Thursday, “the game has changed”.Following the attack on an Iraqi base by the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militias in Iraq, where American troops were stationed, the US retaliated, and the American retaliatory raid resulted in the death of 25 of the terrorists.It was an operation that concluded with the American drone attack leading to the elimination of the senior Iranian leader Qasem Soleimani.Undoubtedly, the elimination of Soleimani has been carried out in line with the direct orders of US President Trump. It marks a qualitative change in the American administration’s policy and confirms the capability of American intelligence to infiltrate Iranian defenses and the Iranian-backed terrorist organizations in Iraq, Syria,...

Turkey sending troops to Libya
THERE seems little doubt that Turkey’s parliament, dominated as it is by supporters of president Recep Tayyip Erdogan, will rubber stamp his plan to send troops to fight in Libya alongside the militias of the Tripoli-based Government of National Accord (GNA) led by Fayez Al-Serraj. The GNA which controls the area around Tripoli, the capital in the West of the country is currently trying to fight off an assault by the Libyan National Army (LNA) led by Khalifa Hafter, who draws his legitimacy from the House of Representatives (HoR) in Tobruk in the East. This is the parliament that was elected in 2014 and then driven from Tripoli by the Muslim Brotherhood (MB), most of whose candidates had been trounced at the polls.It remains a mystery that the United Nations and the international...

Saudi Arabia: Development of the mind and land
Saudi Arabia is a developed country that provides humanitarian and financial assistance to other countries in the region and the world. Depending on its youth that make up 67 percent of the total population, the Kingdom focuses on education, globalization, transformation, digitalization and the development of the mind and land. Saudi Arabia is an example of tolerance and religious coexistence, where officials in embassies and consulates from all over the world live in absolute peace. Having met many of them personally, I found that they were eager to be assigned to a diplomatic post in the Kingdom.As a female witnessing tremendous change in a short period of time, it will be an honor to tell future generations about this period in the Kingdom’s history. Movies, books and documentaries...

India must resist policy of racial division
It has been five months since the government of India slammed Kashmir and more than eight million of its residents into a lockdown, isolated from most of the world and subject to the gauntlet of increased Indian forces sent to the region to suppress movement and resistance. The region’s population is predominantly Muslim.In other parts of India, the streets are on fire as Muslims, Hindus and people of other faiths have risen up against the discriminatory conditions of the recently imposed Citizenship Law that clearly spells danger for India’s Muslim residents despite denials by the ruling BJP party. For the record, many of India’s secular intellectuals have warned of the seeds of the notorious RSS scriptures that are based on communal division and racial hatred of minorities that...

A conference and the question of credibility!
History teaches us that moral credibility is what legitimizes people as well as nations. You cannot, for example, be a lawyer for a case if you are accused of similar crimes. I thought of this while I followed news of the Islamic conference recently held in the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur attended by Iran, Turkey and Qatar.The conference was meant to support the issues of Muslims in Kashmir and Palestine as well as the Uighurs in China. There is no question that there are serious crimes committed against Muslims in these countries, but it is unfair for the team of lawyers to be Turkey, Iran and Qatar.Turkey is the country that annexed the Iskenderun Brigade area from Syria and now occupies by military force the area north of the Syrian Euphrates. It intervenes militarily in Libya to...
