The World Forum on Early Childhood Care and Education 2011 brought to beautiful Hawaii over 1000 delegates from around the world who shared a common interest in the welfare of children from birth to about age 8 years. Delegates representing many Muslim countries were quite visible. Attendants included university professors, government officials, preschool teachers and administrators.

The most interesting thing I learnt as a delegate attending the World Forum, was that in many parts of the world, schools operate successfully without a building. Persons who are convinced that children should be educated, regardless of their circumstance, find creative ways of developing schooling programs to meet the needs of children, their families and the community. While some school models showcased at the World Forum, held May 2 -6, were developed for affluent societies such as the schools of Reggio Emilia in Italy, a variety of innovative models were also developed for children who were orphans, homeless, living in war zones or extremely poor.

We Muslims know that we cannot stop the hate campaign against Muslims because the enemy of Islam believes that Muslims have become a danger to their existence. We know these enemies are trying to bring about a clash between Muslims and Christians, but that will not happen. We have read the article written by Donna Gehrke-White and Tim Collie, published in Newsmax Magazine, November, 2010, and found it most misleading and incoherent, written by those who do not know much about Islam. The only thing that is evident from this article is that it is the work of one of the hundreds of hate groups which are trying to bring about a clash between Muslims and Christians. It is the cover up of the hatred felt for American Muslims, be they indigenous or settlers.

The Jerusalem Post reports that "while Israeli soldiers can't fight in the war in Afghanistan, Israeli drones can." At the end of January, NATO members: Australia, Germany, Spain, France and Canada began "operating unmanned aerial vehicles [UAVs] produced in the Jewish state in anti-Taliban operations in the Central Asian country," wrote JP's Yaakov Katz.

This is an urgent appeal for the sake of the American people and the future of this great nation to take a very careful look at the dangerous situation brewing in the Asian Region due to the constant barrage of destruction and devastation by CIA manipulated drones, most often launched in the hunt for ‘suspected’, or ‘believed to be’ Taliban; when in actuality, these barrages are killing innocent men, women and children, causing wholesale demolition of schools, communities, townships, and villages, and producing no concrete results of thwarting Taliban activities or their suicide bombings.

“Before anything else, the U.K. must answer to the international community about the kind of management it has employed in Afghanistan that has raised illicit drug production from a few hundred tons to around 9,000,” said Iran’s Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki in an interview with Farsnews and reported by Press TV.

This special five part editorial contains irrefutable evidence compiled by the Vice Chancellor and staff of IQOU in answer to the lies brought against El Sheikh Mubarik Ali Shah Gilani and the Muslims of the Americas by a Zionist front group known fraudulently as the Christian Action Network (CAN).

Note: This special five part editorial contains irrefutable evidence compiled by the Vice Chancellor and staff of IQOU in answer to the lies brought against El Sheikh Mubarik Ali Shah Gilani and the Muslims of the Americas by a Zionist front group known fraudulently as the Christian Action Network (CAN). As mere pawns of a larger, futile plot to destroy Christian-Muslim unity, the teachings of the Beloved Messenger of God, Jesus, son of the Pure Mary, hold no significance for them, as will be demonstrated in the following five-part rebuttal.

Representative Kucinich plans to submit two resolutions as soon as congress comes back in January to attempt to use the War Powers Act to withdraw all US troops and military contractors from Iraq and Afghanistan.

“We’re acting like a latter-day version of the Roman Empire ...while inside we rot.,” Ohio Congressman, Dennis Kucinich, recently told Amy Goodman of Democracy Now!, while voicing his opposition to the troop buildup in Afghanistan.

“I think that all those who really support this President, who really like him—and I like him—need to challenge him on this,” said Mr Kucinich.

The Army, National Guard and Army Reserve lost at least 211 personnel to suicide. More than half of those who took their lives had served in either Iraq or Afghanistan. The Army suicide rate of 20.2 per 100,000 personnel is higher than that registered among males aged 19 to 29, the gender age bracket with the highest rate among the general population. Before 2001, the Army rarely suffered 10 suicides per 100,000 soldiers.

American military personnel are continuing to take their own lives in unprecedented numbers, as the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq wars drag on. By late November, at least 334 members of the armed forces had committed suicide in 2009, more than the 319 who were killed in Afghanistan or the 150 who died in Iraq. While a final figure is not available, the toll of military suicides last year was the worst since records began to be kept in 1980.
