Time for Muslims to Veto the United States...

After the last few weeks there should no longer be any doubt that the Muslim world needs to rid itself of American presence and interference in Muslim lands. There can be no freedom, self-determination or independence in these lands unless that happens.

The United States veto of the Palestinian efforts at recognition in the United Nations, the decision to withdraw aid for Palestinians, as well as continued US military presence, repeated drone attacks and assassination of Muslims without charge or trial in Muslim lands, is surely compelling evidence that its time for a different approach.

Time-Up for Capitalism?


Economic Turmoil

It is almost impossible to watch or listen to a news programme daily without mention of increased levels of debt, or another bail-out package, stock market crisis or wildly fluctuating commodity prices. This turmoil is now the norm, and the real question is where will it all end? Can we really spend our way out of this crisis? How many more austerity measures are needed…more importantly, who will suffer from these and for how long? The prevailing economic system has produced a disparity in wealth which is so stark that even the wealthiest individuals in society are calling for tax hikes to save the situation. This shows that the economic building blocks need to be dismantled, as they have failed to produce a commercial model which not only promotes free enterprise and rewards effort, but is at the same time equitable and sustainable for a global society.
