EMERGENCY MEETING OF THE OIC

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation will hold an emergency open-ended meeting on Sunday to discuss the repercussions of burning a copy of the Qur’an in Sweden on the first day of Eid Al-Adha, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Saturday.

The meeting, which will be held at the OIC’s headquarters in Jeddah, was called following an invitation from Saudi Arabia — the chairman of the Islamic Summit in its current session and the OIC’s Executive Committee.

There has been widespread outrage and condemnation in the Muslim and Arab world since Salwan Momika, 37, a refugee from Iraq, desecrated the Qur’an and set fire to its pages in front of Stockholm’s largest mosque on Wednesday.

This attack on the holy book of Muslims cannot be left unanswered. The violence expressed in burning a copy of that book is an insult to the intelligence of the entire world, and in particular to the great family of the Arab peoples.

                         لماذا نحن هنا؟ Information is an important element in the world we live in. Fake news leads us to believe the opposite of reality. In a Middle Eastern region where the bloody war in Gaza continues, it is important to report the truth; the genocide and Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people, as well as the situation in Syria. This is what we do at ARABINFOCUS. We have therefore humbly asked for donations from members of the HH Arab Royal Houses; from His Highnesses Emirs and from important Muslim personalities who have the financial means to make a donation. We have asked them for a simple donation. Only one anonymous Saudi helped us. All the others have ignored us and have not given us even  a dinar.  Why this ignorance against ARABINFOCUS? Our fight against Jewish Zionism deserved help. But a HH Crown Prince; HH sheikhs; HH emirs;  Prime ministers; all have scorned us, instea...

          IS FOOTBALL MORE IMPORTANT THAN ARABIC CULTURE? Qatar and Saudi Arabia have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in hiring top-class soccer players in Europe to elevate and give greater prestige to their national championships in this sport. Football is a global distraction and, therefore, there is nothing to criticize about these operations. It is absolutely normal and correct that the two Arab countries have made that expense. But this situation moves us to ask some questions: 1.- Soccer is more important than the values of the culture of the Arab Nation. ? 2.-Is Soccer more important than reporting and condemning Israel's criminal aggressions against the Palestinian people? 3.-Is Soccer more important than defending Islam and its values and teachings, when it is being subjected to unfair attacks from some Western countries? 4.- Is Soccer more important than explaining and defending the values of the holy book of the Quran, subject of attacks, de...

                ONE HUNDRED KILLED IN THE ATTACK ON A SCHOOL IN GAZA Genocide and war crimes continue in Gaza, although Prime Minister Netanyahu says he is willing to resume peace negotiations. In the attack on a school this Friday, 100 Palestinians died, some of whom are women and children. Israel justified the missile attack, stating that the school served as a refuge for Hamas militants, but has not presented the slightest evidence to justify the version of the Jewish armed forces. It's the same old story. Every time Israel attacks a school, a hospital or a refugee camp, it justifies it by claiming that those places were used by the military branch of Hamas. But don't look for proof because there isn't any. The school attacked with missiles was Al-Tabin, in the Daraj area, in the capital of the Palestinian enclave. The school was completely destroyed. Meanwhile, the Palestinian and Lebanese populations continue to wait for the announced attack ...
