Cutting off the oxygen of publicity
There would seem to be a strong possibility that the Turkish-born suspect in the shooting dead of three people on a tram in the Dutch city of Utrecht was motivated by the enormity of the mosque slayings in New Zealand’s Christchurch, which the killer filmed and live-streamed on social media site Facebook.Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan may also be linked. To the dismay of many countries, not least the New Zealand government, he rebroadcast part of the mass-murderer’s footage at rallies for Turkey’s forthcoming municipal elections. He explained he did this because the suspect in the Christchurch carnage had visited Turkey and in a rambling 70-page document found by police after his arrest ranted specifically about Turkish immigrants “invading” Europe.Some unconfirmed...

Cutting off the oxygen of publicity

Terrorism has no religion
Al-MadinaIT was extremely painful to remember what happened in Christchurch, New Zealand, last Friday. It was a terrorist crime by all means, which led to the death and injuries to scores of innocent men, women and children, who were inside a mosque waiting for the Friday prayer to begin.This violent incident proves that terrorism has no religion or country. It is the product of extremist thought translated into violence and the disappearance of all human qualities without trace.As for those who were in the past trying to link terrorism and extremism exclusively to Islam, Muslims and Arabs, as if all the terrorists and extremists of the world belonged to them, their only goal was to plant hatred in people’s minds and take advantage of the tragic events that ensue for their own...

Traffic courts should add mercy to justice
Al-MadinahThere is no doubt that the smile and the spontaneous way in which Saudi student Tahani Almanea spoke while defending herself in an American court after committing a number of traffic violations played an important role in freeing her from paying any traffic fines. Tahani has turned into a TV star and many Saudi TV channels are racing to hold an interview with her.At the same time, we should not neglect the role of the judge who is being called the “Judge of Mercy”. He succeeded in turning his courtroom from one of punishment and discipline into a court of justice and mercy. He deals with traffic violators in a humanitarian way. He investigates through his court sessions the conditions and reasons why people have committed traffic violations. He talks to them about their...

New Zealand shooting: Hate crimes and free speech
When a story hits the wires in today’s new media, it goes from one end of the world to the other in minutes. The Australian terrorist who attacked two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, during last Friday’s prayers, didn’t wait that long. He broadcasted his crime live!Facebook was a bit late in deleting his video, but compensated for the delay by later deleting 1.5 million videos of a similar nature. The United Nations Security Council, the Vatican and world governments were quick to condemn the hate crime.Except for a few Christian crusaders, like the Italian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Matteo Salvini and Australian Senator Fraser Anning, most world leaders were loud and clear in their condemnation. New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Kate Laurell Ardern touched...

Macron must take back the streets
Most people in countries governed by the rule of law will have been astonished at the continued violent and criminal activities of the so-called gilets jaunes (yellow vests) in Paris. France, of course, is a republic born of revolution and unruly demonstrating seems to be in French blood.Farmers in particular are notorious for their lawlessness, blocking roads and dumping mountains of produce outside town halls and ministries. All too often the police merely look on indulgently. Transport workers and automotive unions think nothing of closing down ports or factories and attacking, even kidnapping anyone who tries to cross their picket lines.The eighteen weeks of gilets jaunes protests began initially in the countryside as a response to President Emmanuel Macron’s decision to order a...

Islamophobia and the terrorist attack in New Zealand
MakkahPREPARE yourself for the following numbers. The terrorist attack perpetrated by a Muslim individual receives 357 percent more publicity than one committed by a man from another faith.Take for example the recent terrorist operation in New Zealand, where a Christian Rightwing extremist fired machine gun at Muslim worshippers inside a mosque killing at least 50 people and wounding scores of others. The victims included the elderly, women and children.The number of casualties from the attack is shocking and it is evidence for the fact that Islamophobia is spreading among the Westerners.The number of extremist and terrorist attacks against innocent Muslims in Western countries is on the increase. The media gives extensive negative coverage to Muslims, which in turn results in expected...

No unemployment in the Kingdom?
Al-MadinahThe Ministry of Labor and Social Development said that there will be 450,000 jobs available for young Saudi men and women in 2019 and these jobs are the result of collaboration and cooperation between the ministry and a number of government agencies and companies.If we accept this number as true, then we have every right to ask: Are the Saudization programs real or fake? What is their purpose? Is it to circumvent laws and regulations as many companies do? Another question: Will job seekers, most of whom are young, encounter very difficult requirements to work in these jobs and will they find an environment where they feel that they have job security or will they have to worry about being dismissed at any minute?A third question: Will the salaries of the 450,000 jobs be fair and...

Peace that silences all!
In the never-ending talk about peace in the Middle East, many initiatives, opinions and ideas have been rejected, questioned, betrayed and falsified, not to mention those who paid with their lives for their belief that peace was a possible dream. The assassinations of King Abdullah I of Jordan, Anwar Sadat and Yitzhak Rabin are proof of this, as well as the moral assassination of Habib Bourguiba because he tried to look pragmatically at a difficult and profound problem.It is important that you remember that you are making peace agreements with your enemies and not with your friends. So there is a difficult question: Are all of the people of the Middle East really ready for peace and willing to live with each other? This is a very profound and important question. In his 1989 book “A Peace...

College cheats
The race to get into top-tier colleges in the US is annual but it has recently been discovered that the real contest lies in the money being paid through the back door to get a privileged child into a big-name university. In what US authorities are calling the largest ever college admissions bribery case, wealthy families allegedly paid college coaches and admission test insiders to rig the system and get their children admitted to top universities, including Yale, Stanford and the University of Southern California.The case is looking at a period between 2011 and 2018 when, according to the authorities, $25 million in bribes were paid by parents - actors, business executives, doctors and lawyers - looking to sneak around the usual university admittance process. They did so by bribing...

The murder of an innocent girl
Al-MadinaTWO weeks ago when I was in Riyadh, I came across a story, which was also narrated to me by my granddaughters. It was about a horrible accident that one of their friends at school met with.Muneera was returning with her mother on the school bus. The bus stopped in front of a grocery store and the child alighted the bus.Suddenly a criminal driving at a high speed ran over the girl. This man was escaping without paying for his gasoline. He ran over the innocent girl and killed her instantly in front of her mother, who stood by in disbelief.The mother nearly lost her mind because of this horrific accident. She saw with her own eyes her daughter lying motionless in a pool of blood in front of her.Why? This criminal was escaping without paying for gasoline, which would cost him only a...
