The United States has begun the process to again declare the Iran-backed Huthi rebel group of Yemen as a foreign terrorist organization (FTO), restoring the designation President Donald Trump set out during his first term.

“Supported by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force, which arms and trains terrorist organizations worldwide, the Huthis have fired at U.S. Navy warships dozens of times since 2023, endangering American men and women in uniform,” a White House statement said on January 22.

Usually, we would refrain from any racist notion, any attempt to accuse a large group on a religious basis, but in this case, we made very deep inquiries and made sure, that the statistics are sound. We had no alternative, but to publish the paper as it is.

Rape is rape and will be rape! Even if the motivation is supposedly of a fundamentalistic religious nature.

Depuis la création de Tel-Aviv en 1948, bien des choses ont été dites et écrites sur le «Grand Israël» – une idée selon laquelle l’objectif ultime du sionisme serait l’annexion forcée et le nettoyage ethnique de vastes étendues de terres arabes pour y implanter des colonies juives, sur la base d’affirmations bibliques selon lesquelles ce territoire aurait été promis aux juifs par Dieu. Les médias rejettent généralement ce concept comme une théorie du complot antisémite ou, tout au plus, comme le fantasme marginal d’une minuscule poignée d’Israéliens.

Le livre des conseils du prophète Ali pour un bon gouvernement.

Ali, gendre et cousin du prophète Mahomet, s’adresse à Malik, qu’il vient de nommer gouverneur d’Egypte, et le bref ouvrage en question se compose de recommandations de justice, de mansuétude, d’humilité, d’écoute des pauvres, de recherche de la prospérité pour le pays. Aux antipodes des conseils de Machiavel, il ne donne pas de conseils dans l’art et l’exercice de la ruse. Tous deux se placent cependant à l’identique sous le regard de Dieu, sur terre et dans l’au-delà. Dans la société islamique, telle que la décrit Ali, les commerçants sont la catégorie qui englobe toute l’activité placée sous le signe du profit: industrie, progrès technique, production, management, financiarisation, profit ne sont pas évoqués en tant que tels ; tout cela rentre dans la catégorie des activités commerciales, échanges à l’intérieur du pays, et import-export.
