The "coalition against terrorism" means the United States. It does not wish anyone else to interfere with its strategy.

I think the United States and its British attack dog are not taken seriously anywhere in the world and can play no role in helping a political solution.

At the time of German Reunification, it was no secret that Germany would soon become the strongest political entity in the European Union. And that has happened.

The situation in Turkey is extremely troubling. A panic-stricken regime, desperate to divide the Kurdish population from non-Kurds because it feared the rise of the HDP, has helped to create a huge crisis in the country. Can it be ended while Tayyip Erdogan remains in power? I don't think so. Erdogan may not be a "joker," but he is definitely a political plagiarist.

To fight tyranny and oppression by using tyrannical and oppressive means, to combat a single-minded and ruthless fanaticism by becoming equally fanatical and ruthless, will not further the cause of justice or bring about a meaningful democracy. It can only prolong the cycle of violence.

Desperation is the result of globalization.

There are different versions of Islam... it is meaningless to claim to speak in the name of a ‘real’ Islam.
