  In all ages wicked men tried to plot Against God’s Way, but they never Succeeded and were covered with shame In ways unexpected. The righteous see good in God’s Word, and their goal is the Good Great teachers were sent to all nations, to warn against Evil And guide to the Right. The penalty for Evil comes in many unexpected Ways, for Evil is against Nature. And all Nature proclaims God’s Glory And humbly serves Him, the Lord Supreme. (The Qur’an: 16: 26-50- condensed message). By Mahboob A. Khawaja, PhD. Towards Critical Thinking of Time for Change, Peace and Future-Making Despite the presence of global institutions of peace and security, so-called conscientious leadership, hollow claims of ending the ten months long “senseless” war, Pope Francis calls an immediate end to hostilities and catastrophic losses of human lives and habitats, the conflict goes on unabated between Russia, Ukraine and the West. The wide ranging spill-over impacts of the war are noticeable all over human c...

  I have been receiving multiple emails per day for the last several months from Mohammed Husson Ali, a 71 year old Rohingya man now living in the United States. Daily, Mohammad scours Internet for any news relevant to his people and in a soulful act of witnessing, he forwards these news items to those who he knows will be interested. He added me to his mailing list -now 168 people long- after reading an article I had written about the plight of the Rohingya. Born in Myo Thu Gyi village, Maungdaw Town, Arakan, Burma, he earned several degrees and worked in various capacities including with the UNHCR and the World Food Programme.

  Famed Portuguese footballer   Cristiano Ronaldo  has joined Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr, the team announced on social media Friday. The club tweeted a picture of Ronaldo holding up a yellow No. 7 Al Nassr jersey and said: “History in the making. This is a signing that will not only inspire our club to achieve even greater success but inspire our league, our nation and future generations, boys and girls to be the best version of themselves. Welcome @Cristiano to your new home @AlNassrFC.” When asked Friday, a representative for Ronaldo did not disclose terms of the deal. CNN has reached out to Al Nassr for comment. The 37-year-old, who was a free agent and immediately available due to his high-profile break-up with Manchester United last month, did not need to wait for the January transfer window to open to put pen to paper on a new contract. Rumors had been swirling since his departure from Manchester that he was close to signing with a club in Saudi Arabia – something ...

  Six years of   Donald Trump’s federal tax returns   released on Friday show the former president paid very little in federal income taxes the first and last year of his presidency, claiming huge losses that helped limit his tax bill, among other revelations. The returns, long shrouded in secrecy, were released to the  public on Friday  by the House Ways and Means Committee, the culmination of a  battle over their disclosure  that went to the Supreme Court. They confirm a report issued from the Joint Committee on Taxation that Trump claimed large losses before and throughout his presidency that he carried forward to reduce or practically eliminate his tax burden. For example, his returns show that he carried forward a $105 million loss in 2015 and $73 million in 2016. The thousands of pages of documents from the former president’s personal and business federal tax returns – which spanned the years 2015 through 2020 – provide a complex web of raw data ...
