US protesters call on Saudi Arabia to free Sheikh Al-Nimr / Pics

/in /by

Protest rallies have been held in different US cities against the unjust sentence handed down to a Shia cleric in Saudi Arabia.

The protesters have condemned the death sentence for prominent cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr, according to social media.

On October 15, Nimr was sentenced to death at the Specialized Criminal Court in the Saudi capital, Riyadh. In reaction to the sentence, people took to streets in the city of Qatif in Eastern Province to condemn the move.  There have also been demonstrations in other countries.

The senior Saudi Shia cleric, who was attacked and arrested in July 2012, is accused of delivering anti-regime speeches and defending political prisoners.

On Friday, a senior Iranian cleric warned Saudi Arabia against executing the death sentence.

“We warn Saudi Arabia… that this government will pay a heavy price for a [possible] execution of a Shia cleric,” Ayatollah Mohammad Ali Movahhedi Kermani told worshippers at the weekly Friday prayers in Tehran.

Human rights activists say the sentence issued for Sheikh Nimr was politically motivated.

Amnesty International has denounced the verdict, calling it “appalling”.

More wounded terrorists from Syria moved to Israeli hospitals

/in /by

Forces of the Israeli occupation transferred two wounded terrorists from Syria to Nahariya Hospital in Galilee in the north of the occupied Palestine over the past 24 hours.

The occupation authorities gave conflicting figures about the number of hospitalized terrorists who have been taken from and to the disengagement area in the Syrian Golan for cure.

The Israeli Walla website reported that two wounded suffering from injuries in the face, limbs and chest were transferred from Syria to Nahariya Hospital, adding that the Hospital have treated 408 so far.

Many terrorist organizations including Jabhat al-Nusra – designated by the UNSC as a terrorist group that should be combated besides ISIS under Chapter VII of the UN Charter- spread in the disengagement zone and gain support by Israel.

Hospitalizing members of terrorist groups who get injured during army operations is just one aspect of the unlimited support provided to these groups by the Israeli occupation authorities, a kind of support that has amounted to no less than the Israeli enemy launching acts of aggression against sites of the Syrian army inside the Syrian territories in various incidents.

Islamophobia threatens Muslims’ rights in Belgium

/in /by

Belgium’s Muslim women speak out against social exclusion for practicing their religion.

Hind is a 31-year-old Moroccan woman living in Brussels without a job. She also happens to be a Muslim who wears the Niqab, a hijab that covers the face.

”I’m looking for a job … and here in Belgium there is a new law we cannot work with our veil,” said Hind, who did not want to reveal her last name. “We have to take it off to work.”

A law banning the full-face veil came into effect in Belgium in 2011. Veiled women objected to the law, which bans clothing that obscures the identity of the wearer in places like parks and on the street.

But in 2012 the Belgian Constitutional Court rejected appeals and ruled that the ban did not violate human rights.

Esma, a 31-year-old Moroccan doctor, told The Anadolu Agency that women tend to get excluded from society in Belgium for even wearing the traditional hijab – which she wears.

”When you graduate from any studies and you want any job, they ask you to not wear it,” she said. ”It’s not allowed in many activities to wear the headscarf,” she said.

Hind and Esma are two of the hundreds of Muslims who gathered Sunday in Brussels to protest Islamophobia and the mysterious death in his prison cell Sept. 15 of a man with a Middle Eastern background.

40.000 Muslims in France prisons

/in /by

“Muslims in French prisons reach up to 60% claimes France’s UMP party deputy Guillaume Larrive.

The conclusion drawn by Larrive in a report as part of an action plan ‘against Islamist radicalisation in prison’. This action plan is now likely to involve several hundred prisoners, Le Figaro reported.

The report estimates that 60% of the prison population in France, that is to say 40,000 prisoners, can be considered Muslim, ‘culturally or originally’.

French deputy Larrive, who has worked on the budget of the Prison Service for 2015, calls for ‘setting up specialized anti-radicalization shock therapy units (USAR) for prisoners returning from jihad’.

However, French daily Le Monde, firstly regarded the statistics as a ‘shock-number’ of the week, argued the findings of the report citing the related part of it, in which involves some observations of the author of the book ‘Islam in prison’ Farhad Khosrokhavar.

The observations or estimations of Khosrokhavar covered only ‘those close to large urban centers and neighborhood institutions’, not all French prisons, Le Monde claimed.

Le Monde claimed the report allows us to question on the findings, emphasizing ‘the statistics 60% does not originate from an official census since ethnic and religious statistics are prohibited in France.’”
