Not Forgotten

A very long time has elapsed since the last post. This was due largely to the dispersal of those who promised to contribute.

I think it is important however to let people know what is going on in the streets and with the people, and encourage the ummah to unite especially now as we are facing challenges bigger than ever all over the Muslim world.

Yemen sees this week the convening of the national dialogue, which most people I have spoken to say is just a process to look democratic and to shut up the outsiders. It has been lampooned by the satirists, and when you look around you cant blame them.

Political types have said to me that the opposition agreed to conduct the revolution peacefully and not resort to fighting in order to not spill the blood of the Yemeni people, but to many, the reasons for the peaceful plan was for the leaders who supported the opposition to maintain their lifestyles, and to not spill their own blood.

The situation is akin to hitting one's head against the wall. There is no improvement or forward vision and the bulk of the population continue in the feudal system ignorantly.

Corruption is so entrenched that those practicing common corrupt practices don't even see that what they are doing is corrupt. I have even found some of the corrupt practices in the law, particularly the appointment of family members in government positions. Seriously, it is written in law. So how do we root out the corruption?

Return to the RULE OF ALLAH. And that very well may involve a brawl!
