The news of the US missile attack on a Syrian airbase, on April 7, reverberated all over the world. In the early morning in Syria, two destroyers of the US Navy (USS Ross and USS Porter) launched a strike with 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles from the area near Crete Island (Mediterranean Sea) against the Syrian Shayrat Air Base (Homs province). The pretext was a false-flag chemical attack in Khan Sheikhoun , attributed to Syrian air force. As always there are lots of details which can keep you busy for days. But there are other points which most people in western countries ignore: The real message other world powers got from this attack, is quite contrary to the intended one. They found that they should lower their estimation of real US military might. That’s a game-changer.

Since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, when most people in the United States hear the word “terrorism”, they think of Muslims. But terrorism comes in many forms. For example, the Global Terrorism Database (GTD) includes the attack by Frazier Glenn Miller, a white supremacist and former grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan, on a synagogue in Overland Park, Kan.; Robert Dear’s attack on Planned Parenthood in Colorado Springs; and Wade Michael Page’s attack on a Sikh Temple in Wisconsin, along with many other lesser-known attacks.

In a recent study, researchers of Georgia State University found that the news media do not cover all terrorist attacks the same way. Rather, they give drastically more coverage to attacks by Muslims, particularly foreign-born Muslims - even though those are far less common than other kinds of terrorist attacks. In total, there were 89 attacks committed by different perpetrators in the United States during the five-year period they examined. Between 2011 and 2015 in the United States, Muslims perpetrated 12.4 percent of those attacks.

Article 50 of the Rome Statute allows any of the six UN languages (Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish) to be used as a working language if the court case dictates. Currently, English is one of the two working languages of the United Nations (UN), the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court, and ad hoc UN-backed tribunals. At these courts and tribunals, documents and oral submissions may be presented in French or English and must be translated into the other language, at great expense. Although there are approximately 1.5 billion English speaking people, English itself has fundamental flaws that make it unsuitable to be the language of international law.

English has a vast collection of words for various objects and techniques, with an estimation of over one million words and definitions. That makes it relevant as a language of trade and technology. but when it comes to concepts, English has little to offer. For example this sentence has 7 different meanings depending on the stressed word:

Undoubtedly, you have come across the stories of many american journalists who interview political figures in other countries. One of the techniques commonly used by these journalists in order to gain the moral upper ground is to name several journalist and/or activists murdered in those countries. Then when they are told that such things happen in every country, they simply ask their interviewee to name a few of them who were murdered in the states. Usually that trick works and the interviewee cannot remember any of them offhand. In reality, it’s not that no activist or whistle-blower gets murdered in the U.S., rather, in the U.S. they carry out such tasks in a more professional and more elegant way.

Almost once in a week, it’s in the news that US-led coalition jets flew to attack ISIS positions, but mistakenly bombed their foes in a so-called friendly airstrike. Each time, the lack of information or dis-coordination between forces is to blame, which is obviously a childish lie. With so many boots on the ground, and so many drones and satellites, they have up-to-the-minute information about battlefields.

Reportedly, the US-led coalition has 180 warplanes there, which make only about 20 combat sorties per day. The rate of combat sorties to warplanes is 10% of what Russians are doing in Syria. this means that they have lots of excess time to double check everything before any operation. If the volume of operations was 100 times more than this, one or two isolated incidents could be ignored and forgiven. But what the US-led coalition is doing follows a repetitive pattern, indicating that these incidents can neither be counted as mistakes, nor friendly.

Yesterday the Obama administration expelled 35 Russian diplomats and closed two Russian estates in New York and Maryland. Obama also sanctioned the Russian external intelligence service FSB and the military intelligence service GRU as well as some of its leaders. The reason given was to retaliate for Russian efforts to interfere with the US presidential election.

Let’s put aside the debate about what really Russians did and how successful their “hacking” to influence the U.S. election was. The more important issue is that the President of United States claims that one of many of their adversaries could hack into the election and influence the results, and they could not do anything about it.

Attention anyone who still thinks the United States is a superpower:

Throughout my entire life I have heard about how the French cherish their culture, history, language and cuisine. That the French have been, and are, today's world leaders in fashion, food, wine, art and architecture. They embrace novelty, new ideas, and manners with enthusiasm as long as they are elegant. If this is true, the French culture should be as deep as an ocean, disturbed by nothing.

In reality, however, any trivial incident can change their psyche overnight. One such example would be the Nice terror attack which took place in July. They claim that a soldier of Islam conveyed the attack, thus qualifying Islam as an invading, and obviously barbaric, culture that needs to be confronted. That picture has nothing in common with reality.

Speaking to the Religious News Service, cardinal Raymond Burke said there is “no question that Islam wants to govern the world” and that the only way to save Western civilisation is to return it to its Christian roots. Personally, I prefer to see the western civilization return to Christianity, and replace this evil system of usury and greed. However, using the fear of Islam, as a catalyzer, for such a transition is just immoral.

Cardinal Burke said that while muslims were “lovely people”, their religion teaches that it should dominate the state, and any country with a muslim majority must submit to the Islamic law.

“When they become a majority in any country then they have the religious obligation to govern that country,” the cardinal added. “If that’s what the citizens of a nation want, well, then, they should just allow this to go on. But if that’s not what they want, then they have to find a way to deal with it.”

When asked how the West should respond to increasing Islamisation, Cardinal Burke said:

“I think the appropriate response is to be firm about the Christian origin of our own nation, and certainly in Europe, and the Christian foundations of the government, and to fortify those.”

What the American cardinal said is a fact that we muslims have known for centuries:

Without Islam, Christianity would be long vanished and forgotten; ironically a fear of Islam and Islamophobia are the only tools the leaders of church have to revive it.

Some pieces of news weigh more than others and they could have been placed in more than one category. You just can't miss or ignore them. The capture of US, French intelligence operatives by Hezbollah in Aleppo is a good example, as it has many implications. So I briefly review what happened and what this means:

How often do scientists smugly quote the latest research on a topic only later to be made the fool by insider revelations that published research in peer-reviewed journals is abjectly false? This happens so frequently now, that it has become clear: Science is broken, and most scientific research is fake and fraudulent.

It isn't broken like a bike needing a new tire, or even an outdated paradigm that has reached its tipping point, as in the time of the renaissance. Modern science is broken for reasons that might shock you.
