Oman: A Key Geopolitical Intermediary – Analysis

There is often an opinion among the public that small countries cannot be influential and powerful because they are unimportant. Proponents of such a position claim that small states, due to their small surface area and small population, must submit to the larger powers in the region. Such a point of view is unconvincing assessment that does not take into account either history or the current geopolitical picture.

Iran’s ‘Resistance Front’ And Its Bridge With South Asia – Analysis

With the war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas crossing the 55-day mark, no breakthrough seems to be in sight that could bring hostilities to a stop despite the successful exchange of some hostages.

Révélation des plans secrets de la CIA pour la déstabilisation de la Syrie

Les soulèvements spontanés qui ont eu lieu en Syrie étaient officiellement dirigés par une coalition de « modérés » – la célèbre Armée syrienne libre/ASL – se révoltant contre le régime brutal de Bachar al-Assad. Mais en réalité, il y avait peu de « modérés » en Syrie et il n’y avait pas de soulèvement « spontané ». C’était Jabhat al-Nusra, la version syrienne d’Al-Qaïda, qui menait la révolte. Et il s’agissait d’une révolte dirigée de l’étranger, planifiée de nombreuses années auparavant.

Refutation Of Samuel Huntington’s Use Of ‘Resurgence’ And ‘Fundamentalist’ To Describe Islamic Organizations And Their Social Welfare Work – OpEd

In the Clash of Civilizations and Remaking of the World Order, Samuel Huntington discusses the revival of Islamic values within the Islamic world and discusses the social and cultural work of Islamic organizations within the Islamic societies. When defining the revival of Islamic values these organizations adopted to do positive social and cultural welfare work, Huntington uses the word “resurgence” and describes the organizations as “fundamentalist” organizations. Much of what Huntington writes, he, in fact highlights the impactful social and cultural welfare work in Islamic societies these organizations delivered; yet the reader in the West is led to see the values upon which the welfare activities were carried out as “resurgence” and “fundamentalist” activities. The deliberate use of these two terms, “resurgence” and “fundamentalist” are misleading for the reader in the West who, to the present date, may not understand that Islamic societies and their existence is primarily directed in accordance with Islamic values.
