 A group of leading Shia Muslim scholars are threatening to take their grievances about a Channel 4 documentary on the Qur'an to Ofcom, unless the broadcaster apologises to viewers and commissions a second programme on their faith. In the Channel 4 documentary, broadcast this month, film-maker Antony Thomas explored the history of the Qur'an to launch a week of coverage about Islam but a group of Shia Muslim scholars wrote to Channel 4 criticising the programme for making "seriously inaccurate statements" about their branch of the faith.

 Mankind was but one people; so Allah sent the prophets as bearers of good tidings and as warners, and He sent down with them the book with the truth, so that it might judge between the people in that in which they had differed. And none differed about it but the very people who were given it, after clear signs had come to them, revolting among themselves; whereupon Allah guided, by His will, those who believed to the truth about which they differed. And Allah guides whom He pleases to the straight path. (Qur'an, 2:213)Comments (1) |

 The Israeli organization, B'Tselem, working for the human rights of Palestinians, has issued a report on the current water crisis. The chronic water shortage in the West Bank, resulting from an unfair distribution of water resources shared by the Palestinians and Israel, will be much graver this summer because of this year’s drought. In the northern West Bank, water consumption has fallen to one-third of the minimal amount needed.Be first to comment this article |

 It is with deep regret that we are yet again witnessing the hands of wickedness perpetrate heinous crimes against the most basic values known to man since the beginning of time – the right to be. On the 19th June 2008, bodies of Shia Muslim villagers from Parachinar in Pakistan were found brutally murdered, after having been beheaded, burnt and mutilated by local Taliban affiliated militias. The perpetrators adhere to a crooked ideology known as Wahhabism; the official sect practiced in Saudi Arabia.

 I am one of those, who, unfortunately monitor your series of debates on Al-Sayyida Fatima al-Zahra (peace be upon her). I have drawn your attention previously that your pre-meditated provocative programmes against the Shi'ite faith, in accordance to the strategy laid down by your financiers, are totally biased and designed to invoke hatred against the Shi'ite community worldwide. Why don't your financiers take out a TV licence to show such hatemongering programmes in their own countries? Why have they chosen this country to spread malice against the Shi'ite faith?

 A new Army history of the Iraq conflict faults the invasion's top US commander for his sudden decision to overhaul the Baghdad-based military command, The New York Times said in its Sunday edition. The 696-page report, to be released Monday, documents problems that hampered the Army's ability to stabilize the country during the postwar stage. The unclassified study focuses on the 18 months after US President George W. Bush announced in May 2003 that major combat operations in Iraq were over, the Times said.Comments (1) |

 "Surely you, O men, are striving hard toward your Lord and so you are going to meet Him." (Surah al Inshiqaq, 84:6) This Qur'anic verse sets a very high target for human society. It says that humanity endeavours on every level to meet its Lord. In this verse the word, 'kadh' has been used, which means persistent movement and tedious and irksome progress. The whole human society has to work hard to move forward, for this is not an ordinary movement. It is an ascending movement representing development and evolution. It is evident that this persistent movement requires a way along which man marching towards perfection should move till he reaches his destination. This way has been described in several verses of the Qur'an as the way of Allah or the path of Allah.Be first to comment this article |
