Iraqi Mufti blames the country‘s defenses for inaction on Israel‘s attacks on Iran

In a statement, Al-Sumaida‘i condemned „Zionist violations,“ stressing the need for “a firm response.” He expressed surprise at the Iraqi government’s stance and the air defense forces‘ spokesman‘s declaration that they are „on alert and under full Iraqi control.“

“Such statements cast doubt on Iraq’s position,” the Mufti announced, affirming that the current situation makes the country seem “weak and hesitant.”

He further called on Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani to intervene immediately to prevent any leniency in dealing with these violations, stressing that “Iraq must take decisive measures to preserve its dignity and sovereignty against any aggression.”

Corona, Klima, Religion: Sehnsucht nach dem Opfer

(18.09.2021)

Die Kommunikation über Klima und Corona zeigt religiöse Elemente. In der Klima- und Corona-Politik finden wir vier klassische Motive der Religionsgeschichte:

Erstens: Die moralische Schuld.
Zweitens: Das religiöse Opfer.
Drittens: die Unterscheidung von Reinheit und Unreinheit.
Viertens: Die göttliche Offenbarung.

D: Kardinal Marx bietet Amtsverzicht an

In einem Brief vom 21. Mai an den Heiligen Vater legt der Kardinal seine Gründe für diesen Schritt dar. Papst Franziskus teilte Kardinal Marx mit, dass dieses Schreiben nun veröffentlicht werden könne und dass der Kardinal bis zu einer Entscheidung seinen bischöflichen Dienst weiter ausüben solle.

Im Kern geht es für mich darum, Mitverantwortung zu tragen für die Katastrophe des sexuellen Missbrauchs durch Amtsträger der Kirche in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten“, schrieb Marx dem Papst. Die Untersuchungen und Gutachten der zurückliegenden zehn Jahre zeigten für ihn durchgängig, dass es „viel persönliches Versagen und administrative Fehler“ gegeben habe, aber „eben auch institutionelles oder systemisches Versagen“.

Europäischer Kolonialismus

(30. März 2012)

Die Herrschaft über Kolonien erlangten die Machthaber Europas, indem sie Militär in die Kolonien entsendeten und Zivilverwaltungen aufbauten. Dieses Vorgehen rechtfertigten sie damit, dass sie die Bevölkerung in den kolonialen Besitzungen für minderwertig erklärten. Die sogenannten Wilden betrachteten sie als rassisch unterlegen, als unzivilisiert und unfähig, sich selbst zu verwalten. Es galt daher als legitim, sie in den Kolonien zur Arbeit zu zwingen oder als Sklaven zu exportieren.

Kolonialmächte wollten Kolonien aber nicht nur beherrschen und ausbeuten, sondern ihnen auch ihre Kulturen und Religionen aufprägen.

The House: Is it past time Canada had an Indigenous governor general?

Last month, New Zealand appointed the first Indigenous woman to serve as governor general. Dame Cindy Kiro, a well-known children‘s advocate, is the third Māori to hold the post. The first, Sir Paul Reeves, was appointed in 1985.

The federal government is under enormous pressure right now to show some progress on Crown-Indigenous reconciliation — in the wake of this week‘s reports on undocumented deaths at the Kamloops Indian Residential School and fresh calls for Ottawa to move faster on implementing the recommendations of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.

Iraq at the Crossroads: either Prime Minister al-Suheil or President Salih have to resign

(21.12.2019)

“President Barham Salih has his own candidate, the current head of intelligence Mustafa al-Kadhemi. There is no veto on the personality of Kadhemi; however, the serious problem is the attempt of the President to dismiss the power of the Parliament and his rejection of the will of the largest parliamentary coalition”, said the source.

Sources in Najaf stated “the Grand Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Sistani has repeatedly stated that power emanates from the people and not from the President. It is the people and their representatives who make the decisions and if a new Prime Minister is rejected by the people he will not last long in office”.

Ayatollah Sistani warns of enemy plot seeking to create civil strife, bring back ‚era of dictatorship‘

„It is imperative on peaceful demonstrators that they separate their ranks from non-peaceful individuals and cooperate on shunning saboteurs – whoever they are – and not allow them to abuse peaceful protests to damage and attack the property of citizens,“ a representative of Ayatollah Sistani said as he delivered the top cleric‘s sermon.

„The enemies and their levers, in order to achieve their malicious goals, plan to spread chaos and plunge the country into internal strife and then return it to dictatorship, so everyone must work together to take away this opportunity from them,“ he added.
