Desperation is the result of globalization.

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.

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

The West and its media have barely covered the recent wave of repression in Turkey. The reason is simple. They are paying billions to Ankara to control and take back the refugees of the Syrian war. They are fearful that if they offend Tayyip Erdogan he will use the refugees as a political weapon. So they keep quiet.

The European Union is effectively a union dominated by the German political and economic elite. Its main function is to serve as a nucleus for financial capitalism and to ease the road for that capitalism. The other functions just irritate everyone: it's undemocratic; decisions are not made by parliament; the European Parliament is not sovereign.

I think to compare Germany to the Third Reich is utterly ludicrous.
